Greener Synthesis of Rod Shaped Zinc Oxide NPs Using Lilium ledebourii Tuber and Evaluation of Their Leishmanicidal Activity
Original language description
Nanoparticles (NPs) can be used for therapeutic applications because of their strong antimicrobial activities ( 5 , 7 ). Such as in drug delivery, microbiology, biotechnology, and biochemistry ( 8 , 15 ). The use of metal NPs such as copper, platinum , titanium , gold, selenium, silver, zinc oxide, and palladium nanoparticles against many bacteria, viruses, and fungal pathogens has been reported ( 16 , 19 ), but the use of NPs against protozoan parasites is rather limited. Among different types of NPs, the zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs have attracted scientific attention because of their safety and high antimicrobial activity ( 20 , 21 ); they are recognized to be safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The traditional NPs synthesized by chemical methods leads to the adsorption of toxic chemical compounds onto the surface of synthesized NPs which may have adverse effects in medicine ( 22 , 23 ). Green synthesis methods using bioresources such as plants, fungi, or bacteria for the synthesis of biogenic NPs represent alternatives to conventional chemical synthesis methods ( 24 , 29 ). The present study aims to evaluate the leishmanicidal efficiency of rod-shaped ZnO (R-ZnO) NPs on Leishmania major (L. major) cultures.
