(A) FT-IR spectrum ofbCuO-NPs, and (B) zaluzanin-D enriched Vernonia arborea ethyl acetate extract. |
(A) XRD pattern of bCuO-NPs showed intense peaks at specific 2 theta values and (B) plant extract. |
(A) Particle size analysis of bCuO-NPs, (B) zeta potential of bCuO-NPs. |
HR-SEM images of synthesized bCuO-NPs. |
(A) TEM images of bCuO-NPs and SAED pattern and (B) EDS profile of bCuO-NPs. |
(A) Percentage of THP-1 cell viability treated with different concentrations (1.25?10 mg ml?1) of bCuO-NPs, and (B) CLSM images of THP-1 cells treated with control doxorubicin and bCuO-NPs (*, ** denote significant differences between the treated and control). |
(A) DPPH, (B) ABTS radical scavenging activities of various concentrations of bCuO-NPs, (C) FACS data of CDH1 ? DCFDA treated THP-1 cells (D) C1 ? DCFDA + H2O2 treated THP-1 cells (E) MS1 ? DCFDA + H2O2 + bCuO-NPs treated THP-1 cells (F) overlay diagram of the FACS analysis (*, ** denote significant differences between the treated and control). |
(A) Control: THP-1 cells ? non-adhered (shows circular shaped cells) (B) THP-1 cells + PMA + bCuO-NPs (C) THP-1 cells + PMA (shows elongated adhered cells). The microscopic image shows the ability of bCuO-NPs to inhibit PMA activated adhesion in monocytes. |
Effect of bCuO-NPs and control (1.25?10 mg ml?1) showing normal zebrafish embryogenesis at different HPF development. The inverted microscope was used to produce the images. There were 4 periods depicted: blastula (3 HPF), segmentation (12 HPF), and pharyngula (24 HPF), and hatching (48 HPF). MP?melanophores; G?gut; Y?yolk sac; Ed?edema; Ch?chorion; F?fin; YM?yolk membrane; B?brain; E?eye anlage; T?tail P?pericardium; EB?ear bud; H?heart; C?chorda; BC?blood cells; AN?anus; (scale bar = 0.5 mm). |
Egg hatching rate of zebrafish embryos induced by (A) bCuO-NPs at 24?96 hpf, and (B) mortality of embryos increased in dose- and time-dependent manner. Data are expressed as means ± S. E. from three independent experiments (p > 0.05). |
