Iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized from mixing iron (iii) nitrate salt (Fe2NO3) with (curcumin) herbs extract for antibacterial activity

Abstract

Curcumin extract and iron (III) nitrate (Fe2NO3) salt were employed in the chemical procedure to create iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) at 200 oC for two hours. The environment therapies for hazardous bacteria are the main goal of this study. This research succeeded in synthesis IONPs from mixing iron (iii) nitrate (Fe2NO3) salt with curcumin extract by a chemical method. Moreover, the prepared of the IONPs were applied in the antibacterial activity. Curcuma longa, a medicinal plant and a spice in Asia, has a long history in the region. An ingredient in the C. longa rhizome known as curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is hydrophobic and has been shown to have beneficial effects on the human body. Since then, it has received a lot of attention for its diverse biological and pharmacological effects. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra were used to characterize IONPs in order to investigate their structural and optical features. In areas inhibition (41) mm reveal the produced IONPs antibacterial activity for negative-gram bacteria (E. coli) and (41) mm negative-gram (K. pneumonia) bacteria.
