Abstract

In this study, magnetic spinel copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) nanostructures were eco-friendly synthesized using Nasturtium officinale extract. Physicochemical properties of these nanostructures were determined by transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry, and energy dispersive X-ray mapping analysis. XRD patterns conform to the CuFe2O4 formation. SEM results demonstrated ceramic spinel CuFe2O4 nanostructures with spherical surface morphologies. The cytotoxicity effect of CuFe2O4 nanostructures against rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells was evaluated based on MTT assay. The magnetic nanostructures had low toxicity at a concentration of 250 µg/mL. It appears that these nanostructures can be considered as suitable candidates for drug delivery and other biomedical applications, because of their low toxicity effects.

1 Introduction

Brain tumors and neurological diseases (e.g., Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s) cause nerve cell damage, reduced motor control, cognitive impairment, and death [1]. Current treatments are expensive and have various side effects such as fatigue, general weakness, nausea, and increased liver enzymes, among others [2,3]. Therefore, researchers are looking for new methods to differentiate [4] and repair nerve neurons [5], and prevent diseases [6,7]. Recent findings suggest that a number of microstructures [8] and nanomaterials induce neuroprotective effects and preserve neuronal life [9,10]. Nanomaterials [11] play a significant role in the advancement of science [1214] and technology [1518]. These nanomaterials are deployed in the protection of neurons and treatment of brain tumors due to their nanometer size, antioxidant [19,20], surface plasmonic resonance properties [21,22], antimicrobial [2327], magnetic properties [28], etc. [29,30]. New developments in science [3133], innovative production [3436] and technology [3739] even in energy [40,41,42,43,44], computer [4549], mathematic [5055], geometry [5663], and calculation [6468] have significant impact on human health [6972] and life [73,74].

In recent decades, ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with the chemical formula of MFe2O4 (M: divalent metal ion, e.g., Zn, Co, Cu, etc.) [75,76] have attracted the attention of researchers in various biomedical fields including magnetic drug delivery [77], hyperthermia [78], catalyst [79], optical [80], labeling of cells [81], etc. [8286]. Spinel ferrite NPs are of particular importance in neuroprotection [87], and can also be employed as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents [88]. Ceramic structures [8992] have been employed in the treatment and diagnosis of various diseases, such as cancers, catalyst [93], and neurological diseases. Spinel ferrites play important roles in biomedicine and nanomedicine due to multimetal components and their unique magnetic properties. Ferrite magnetic NPs can be easily separated and recovered in a reaction mixture by using an external magnet [94,95]. These types of magnetically recyclable nanostructure showed a high activity even after 13 cycles [79,96]. Copper ferrite NPs are ceramic nanoscale materials [97], which can be deployed for different biomedical and biological applications. Some synthesis methodologies of magnetic ferrite NPs are reported (Table 1).

Plant extract or plant derivatives such as polysaccharides [104106] with their medical usage [107111] for the production of NPs could be an alternative to physiochemical synthesis methods [112].

In this study, copper ferrite NPs were eco-friendly synthesized using aqueous extract of Nasturtium officinale (family: Brassicaceae, English name: watercress). The physicochemical properties of these NPs were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses. Finally, the cytotoxicity of these was evaluated against rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells based on MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.

2 Materials and methods

2.1 Materials

Iron(iii) chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, ≥98%), copper(ii) chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, ≥99%), and sodium hydroxide (Sigma-Aldrich, ≥ 98%) were utilized for the green synthesis of copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) nanoparticles (CFN). Deionized water was utilized in all stages of the synthesis. Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were purchased from the cellular bank of Pasteur Institute of Iran (Tehran). PC12 cell culture was performed with Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM; GIBCO, Invitrogen, Paisley, UK), penicillin and streptomycin (both from GIBCO, UK), Fetal Calf Serum (FCS; GIBCO, Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA), and sodium pyruvate (GIBCO, USA) under normal conditions (37°C, 5% CO2, 1% antibiotic solution [pen-strep], high glucose DMEM containing 10% FCS). Cell viability was determined by tetrazolium dye MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide), and also dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

2.2 Preparation of CFN

The flowering branches of watercress were washed with deionized water. Plant moisture was removed at 27°C. To each gram of watercress powder, 20 cc of deionized water was added and shaken at 27°C, overnight. Finally, the extract was separated with Whatman paper (size No. 40) and centrifuged. About 3.2 g of FeCl3·6H2O and 1.6 g CuCl2·2H2O was added to 200 cc of watercress aqueous extract at 60°C, respectively, and dissolved with stirring. The pH of the mixture was raised to 10 by utilizing NaOH 1 M solution. The final solution was stirred for 2 h at 60°C. The resulting NPs were washed with deionized water and finally dried at 60°C and calcined at 500°C for 8 h.

2.3 Characterization CFN

XRD analysis was deployed to determine the position of the crystal and the percentage of crystallinity of CFN using Panalytical X’PertPro. This analysis was performed in the 2θ of 10–80° using copper anode material. FE-SEM and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) were deployed for evaluating the morphology and identifying the chemical composition of CFN, respectively (using sigma VP, ZEISS Company equipped with EDS detector of Oxford Instruments Company). The size and shape were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis using Philips CM120. Additionally, the magnetic properties of these NPs were analyzed using VSM analysis (LBKFB; Kashan Kavir Meghnatis Company, Iran) at room temperature.

2.4 Cytotoxicity evaluation of NPs using MTT test

The MTT assay was deployed to assess the cytotoxicity and viability of incubated cells in various concentrations (1, 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 µg/mL) of CFN. Doxorubicin (4 and 8 µg/mL) was utilized as positive control. Around 5,000 cells per well were seeded on the microplate. Concentration of NPs was transferred to each well. Plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 h. To perform the MTT assay, the MTT solution was added into each well. After 3 h incubation at 37°C, the medium was eliminated and 100 µL of DMSO was gently added to each well. Subsequently, the absorbance was measured at 490 nm by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader (BioTeks Elx 800). The IC50 (inhibitory concentration needed for cytotoxicity) was assessed by using the Probit test and plotting the level of inhibition vs the concentration.

3 Results

Figure 1 shows the XRD pattern of CFN synthesized at pH = 10 and temperature of 60°C. The XRD patterns of calcined CFN at 500°C for 4 and 8 h are shown in Figure 1a and b, respectively. The XRD spectrum of the calcined NPs for 4 h shows three broad peaks at 2θ = 35.9°, 57.2°, and 62.3°. The XRD spectrum of calcined NPs for 8 h shows five sharp peaks at 2θ = 30°, 35.9°, 43°, 57.2°, and 62.8°. Therefore, the synthesis process of crystallization of CFN strongly depended on the calcination time. The peaks mentioned in two XRD spectra correspond to the cubic spinel structure of the CFN [79,113,114].

Figure 2a and b shows the FE-SEM–EDS images prepared from calcined CFN NPs at 500°C for 4 and 8 h, respectively. SEM images of the calcined NPs for 4 and 8 h confirmed the plate-like and spherical surface morphology, respectively. Cubic and sheet-shaped plates with 76–141 nm wide illustrated that the NPs did not crystallize well in a short time (Figure 2a). As the crystallization time increases, the particles are formed in a regular and spherical manner of 15–50 nm (Figure 2b). Based on the results, by increasing the crystallization time, CFN were more spherical and smaller with higher purity. The presence of iron (59.3 wt%), copper (12.7 wt%), and oxygen (28 wt%) confirmed the type of element constituents of CFN [115]. The presence of element carbon in the EDS diagram was due to the residues of the plant extract in the structure of CFN (Figure 2c and d) [116].

The magnetic properties of CFN at room temperature and ±16 kOe applied field are shown in Figure 4. The amount of magnetic saturation (Ms) for the synthesized NPs was 10 emu/g. According to the literature, CFN had weak superparamagnetic properties. Additionally, the amount of Ms of NPs depends on their size [117,118].

The cytotoxic effect of CFN was evaluated on PC12 cell lines using MTT assay and compared with the results obtained from the untreated cells (as negative control) and doxorubicin (as positive control) (Figure 5). The CFN demonstrated an insignificance index of anti-multiplication/cytotoxicity effects on PC12 cell lines with IC50 value 225.01 µg/mL. As shown in Figure 5, the cytotoxicity of NPs at a concentration of 250 µg/mL was higher than the positive control.

4 Discussion

In this study, CFN were successfully synthesized using N. officinale aqueous extract. The spinel structure and superparamagnetic behavior of these NPs were confirmed by XRD and VSM analyses. The cytotoxicity of these was evaluated by MTT method against neuronal PC12 cells for 72 h. The cytotoxicity of these at concentrations of 1–1,000 µg/mL was evaluated against rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells by MTT method. The CFN demonstrated an insignificance index of anti-multiplication/cytotoxicity effects on PC12 cell lines with IC50 value of 225.01 µg/mL.

According to the literature, plant extract as well as biogenic NPs of copper oxide and iron oxide are the best biological agents in reducing brain damage and treating degenerative neurological diseases. Kanagesan et al. reported that copper ferrite NPs had antioxidant and time-dependent anti-cancer properties at low concentrations and at high concentrations, respectively. These NPs had significant toxicity against human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells at a concentration of 500 μg/mL [119]. CuFe2O4@Ag biogenic NPs with high permeability in human gastric adenocarcinoma and Michigan Cancer Foundation-7breast cancer caused fragmentation of cell nuclei and increased caspase-3 activity and apoptosis [120]. Copper ions increased the surface to volume ratio in CFN, thus demonstrating good antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus [121].

In recent years, medicinal plants together with various nanomaterials can be considered as promising neuroprotective agents. Scientists are seeking to increase the neuroprotective effect of drugs by producing NPs using plant extracts. In one study, PC12 cell damage by methadone was reduced with Nigella sativa and CuO NPs [122]. In vivo studies demonstrated that iron NPs containing plant saponin could be employed as neuroprotective agent – with better performance than plant saponin due to the synergistic effects of iron NPs and saponin [123]. The synergy of metal ions and plant extracts has been proven in reducing brain damage and treating neurodegenerative diseases. CuO NPs synthesized by applying N. sativa L. have shown suitable antioxidant properties. These biogenic NPs protected phaeochromocytoma (PC12) cells from destructive agents by reducing nucleic acid damage, inflammatory agents, and activity of the enzyme caspase-3 [122]. Sharma et al. reported that magnetic iron oxide NPs were harmless to neurons. Additionally, these NPs in combination with other therapeutic agents were useful in brain and spinal cord injuries as diagnostic and therapeutic agents [124]. In another study, iron oxide NPs were studied (in vivo analysis) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, because of their unique magnetic properties, thus identifying these superparamagnetic NPs as neuroprotective agents [125]. Ruanglertboon et al. demonstrated that watercress ethanolic extract improved dexamethasone-induced neuronal destruction in male mice. These results introduced the N. officinale plant as a neuroprotective agent [126]. According to the literature and the results of this study, CFN and N. officinale extract demonstrated no toxicity on neuronal PC12 cells, and as well as promising functionality; therefore, they can be suggested as attractive neuroprotective agents.

5 Conclusion

In this study, CFN were synthesized using aqueous extract of N. officinale via a simple and green method. Physicochemical properties of these NPs were evaluated by XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, VSM, and TEM analyses. Further studies should be conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility and toxicity of these NPs with high functionality and unique properties for clinical and biomedical applications.
