Abstract

In this work, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized via a green ultrasonic-assisted method using aqueous-ethanoic caper (Capparis spinosa) leaves. The polyphenolic compounds in the extract act as both reducing and stabilizing agents. The synthesized Fe3O4 MNPs were described using FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, and VSM techniques. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of a highly crystalline spinal structure, cubic, while TEM and SEM images revealed cubic-shaped particles with an average size of 28 nm. Magnetic measurements via VSM exhibited exemplary superparamagnetic behavior with a saturation magnetization of 5.5 emu/g. Furthermore, the antibacterial potential of the MNPs was evaluated for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results demonstrated significant dose-dependent antibacterial activity, with the highest inhibition zones observed at the maximum concentration. These findings suggest that the green-synthesized Fe3O4 MNPs are promising candidates for biomedical applications.
