Synthesized Mg@C Fullerene Nanocomposite Using a Plasma Reactor and its Biological Activity
摘要
Potent Magnesium-Carbon Fullerene nanocomposite was created by a plasma reactor that vaporizes the Magnesium anode, and carbon cathode in the dielectric media (distilled water) by applying a powerful electric field between them. The Magnesium-Carbon Fullerene nanocomposite was characterized to examine its stability, shape, size, and crystal phase structure. Characterization analysis such as High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirmed that the Synthesized Magnesium-Carbon Fullerene nanocomposite was successfully prepared with the nano with average polygonal Mg particle diameter 35 ± 5 nm combined with carbon nano sheets with − 24.1 mv zetapotential indicating high stability. The 50% cell cytotoxic concentration equaled 201.85 ± 3.94 µg/ml. The synthesized yield showed a potent antibacterial effect against the test microbes, reaching 150 µg/ml minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus while completely eradicating the bacterial growth after 20 h of incubation. Moreover, Magnesium-Carbon Fullerene had a surprisingly high anti-inflammatory effect. Notably, Mg@C Fullerene nanocomposite demonstrated pronounced and specific inhibition of COX-2, with an IC50 of 0.092 µM and a SI of 135.86.
