Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) using DC.

Nanoparticles produced from various metal elements including copper have been used in the treatment of infectious diseases in response to antibiotic failure due to microbial resistance. Copper is recommended for use in the production of nanoparticles largely because of its accessibility and affordability. This study aimed to synthesise copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) using leaf extracts of and assess their antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxicity properties.
