ABSTRACT
The nanoparticles based drug delivery and treatment related research has been increased significantly in the recent years. Hence, the antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activity potential of pre synthesized and characterized Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were investigated in this study through respective standard protocols. Interestingly, the obtained results revealed that TiO2 NPs have concentration dependent antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens such as E. coli, P.mirabilis, V. cholerae, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium, and S. aureus at 100 µg mL-1 concentration. Furthermore, these TiO2 NPs showed remarkable antifungal activity against aspergillosis causing fungal pathogens such as A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. nidulans, and A. flavus at 100 µg mL-1 concentration. α-glucosidase. This TiO2 NPs also effectively inhibit the α-amylase (17%) and α-Glucosidase (37%) enzyme activity at 100 µg mL-1 dosage. The DPPH assay revealed that TiO2 NPs effectively scavenge DPPH free radicals by up to 89% at 100 µg mL-1 concentration, which was comparable to butylated hydroxytoluene (96%). These results suggest that the plant-based TiO2 NPs have remarkable in-vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activity. These may be considered for additional in-vitro and in-vivo experiments to assess their potential biomedical applications.
