Environmental profiling of gold nanoparticles by flavonoids fractionalization from carrica papaya leaf extract for photocatalytic debasement of organic contaminants and it's cyto-toxic analysis.

In present investigation, Carica papaya leaf extract has been employed as a bio-reductant agent in order to synthesize ecologically sustainable bio-coupled gold nanoparticles. The formation of gold nanoparticles was confirmed based on colour change of solution and its surface plasmon resonance peak measured using UV–Vis Spectrophotometer (UV–Vis). The Morphology and size of nanoparticles were determined using transmission electron microscope (SEM/TEM), and its crystalline structure by X-ray diffraction studies. Surface area was determined via BET isotherm analysis. The elemental composition of Au nanoparticles was developed using the technique of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Furthermore, FTIR analysis delineated the presence of functional groups present in the samples of the synthesized AuNPs. Thus, the efficiency of bio coupled Au nanoparticles in photo catalytically decomposing methylene blue was examined under the influence of visible light., the lethal MB colorant had been reduced to 95 % Within 90 min. And also 60% TOC removal was recorded after 5 min of degradation reaction, which increased to 99% after 90 min. Furthermore, cytotoxic experiments on Michigan Cancer Foundations-7 (MCF-7) cell lines showed that Au nanoparticles are effective anticancer agents with an IC 50 of 87.2 g/mL on the top of the present work revealed the eco-safety and affordable production of Au nanoparticles from Carica papaya leaf extract, which displayed photocatalytic debasement of organic pollutants and cyto-toxicity effects was investigated. • Bio-conjugate gold nanoparticles were synthesized by using Carica papaya leaf extract as a bio-reductant agent. • The existence of basic Au nanoparticles was discovered using the technique of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). • Gold nanoparticles by Carica papaya leaf extract demonstrated as potentially photocatalytic responsible for carcinogenic dye degradation. • Michigan Cancer Foundations-7 (MCF-7) cell lines showed that Au nanoparticles are effective anticancer agents with an IC 50 of 87.2 g/Ml.
