Abstract

Abstract The present study employed molted feather ash extract from Pavo cristatus to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (Pcf-ZnONPs). The Pcf-ZnONPs were characterized through advanced spectroscopy techniques to study the chemical and physical properties of NPs. Pcf-ZnONPs specifically exhibit an absorption peak at 365 nm in the UV spectroscopy analysis. TEM and SEM confirmed the nanoscale presence of ZnO. The antibiofilm and antibacterial properties of Pcf-ZnONPs were assessed against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. At a concentration of 25 µg·mL−1, Pcf-ZnONPs exhibited a significant reduction in the thickness of bacterial biofilms. Breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231) and fish cell lines were used to investigate in vitro anticancer activity. The MTT experiment demonstrated that Pcf-ZnONPs have good anticancer efficacy against a breast cancer and a fish cell line. The nontoxicity and biocompatibility of Pcf-ZnONPs were also investigated, exhibiting excellent hemocompatibility with red blood cells and no appreciable toxicity in Brine shrimp. In conclusion, Pcf-ZnONPs may be deemed nano-biomedicine compatible with biological systems for the treatment of bacterial illnesses in higher species.
