ABSTRACT: Human beings always tried to protect their body from pathogenic microbes, whereas these pathogens always mimic and mutate themselves to infect humans. Nanotechnology is new and upgrading itself as well as enhancing its applicability in pharmaceuticals. Due to their nano-size structure, property drastically changes from their parent elements. Nanoparticles are used widely in biomedical sciences. Focusing on these perspectives, the present study investigates the impact of phyto-synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Murraya paniculata leaf extracts. The characterization of synthesized ZnO NPs was 32 nm with a more optical stable showing peak value at 355 nm (UV-vis). Further, toxicological efficacy of ZnO NPs was checked against human pathogens viz., Salmonella typhimurium (causing typhoid), Staphylococcus aureus (causing tooth decay and rheumatic fever) and Escherichia coli (causing tooth decay in infants and dysentery). The anti-bacterial bioassay was done using a well diffusion method and compared with the standard drug streptomycin. The test pathogens were found more sensitive towards phyto- synthesized ZnO NPs with a Zone of Inhibition Diameter (ZID) value almost more than 22 mm for all three test pathogens as well as compared with earlier reports and found a potential herbal anti-bacterial agent. From the present investigation, the phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs showed promising results and may be used in dentistry as tooth filling agents and as nano-drugs in pharmaceuticals.

INTRODUCTION: The current global pandemic situation demands a focus on human health.
As pathogenic microbes and human have been mostly antagonistic with each other and thus require a search of new possibilities to make pathogen resistant environment in the human body. More than 700 pathogens were found to invade our body via mouth 1. The detection of these pathogens is time taking because of their symptomatic behavior and causes lethal many times, especially in children. Typhoid is first in this list and is a major concern to developing countries like India, where people use drinking water from wells, rivers, ponds and stored tanks. Tooth decaying and dysentery are other diseases most common in children. The researchers are still searching for a noble and effective tool that kills these pathogens at very early stage 1.
The nanoparticles, due to their characteristic properties such as nano-crystal size and optical property, make them one of the best tools in nanotechnology 2, 3. These nanoparticles having a maximum surface area to the volume and greater mechanical strength with optical stable make them more valuable 3. These are widely used in almost all fields such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, biomedicine, robotics, etc. Due to this property, these bio-synthesized nanoparticles are used widely in drug delivery and noble formulation in medical sciences 4, 7.
Several metal oxide nanoparticles are introduced in which zinc oxide nanoparticles are considered suitable nanomaterial in dentistry and many bio medicine because of their potential possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancerous, drug delivery, bio-sensing, etc. 7, 8. Several methods are now introduced for making these nanoparticles in which phyto-synthesis and microbial synthesis are found eco-friendly and high toxic to pathogens 9, 19. The Zinc oxide powders are used as tooth filling agents, and this powder can be replaced by ZnO NPs as having dual property (antimicrobial and smooth powder) along with its durability 9.
The phyto-synthesis is now used extensively due to non-toxic to human health and bio safe 17 but able to kills both (gram-positive and gram-negative) types of bacterial pathogens 9. Phyto-synthesis of ZnO NPs provides a more suitable and efficient method. Nanoparticles interact with several biomolecules, and various microbes constitute the broad spectrum of research and unexplored till today 1. Plant’s secondary metabolite was used to reduce and stabilize the metal ions and leads to help in the reduction of their size during phyto-synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles 20, 21. Many plants were till today were used in the synthesis of ZnO NPs such as Azadirachta indica 22, Aloe vera 23, Parthenium hysterophorus 24, and Pongamia pinnata 25. Phyto-synthesis provides wide dimensional and high potentially active nanocrystals 26 which show enhanced antimicrobial property 9, 27. Due to their biocompatibility, these zinc oxide nanocrystals were widely used in various applications of medical sciences 28. This manuscript emphasizes phyto-synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Murraya paniculata leaf extracts using hydro-thermal method 29. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized, and anti-bacterial bioassay was performed against three human pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive), Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium (gram-negative) using agar well diffusion method 30, 31.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Phyto-synthesis of ZnO NPs: The preparation of ZnO NPs was accomplished following Bela et al., 29 with some modifications. The 50 ml solution of Zinc acetate (0.45M) (was added dropwise in aqueous solution of 5 gm leaves of Murraya paniculata with continuous stirring (1200 rpm) at temperature of 60 °C for 2 h. The precipitate was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 15 min and was thrice with ethanol and sterile water. The brown color precipitate was kept for 24 h in Hot Air Oven at 100°C 29. The prepared nanoparticle was characterized with SEM for their morphological evaluation, FTIR for its stability, UV-vis for its optical properties, and XRD for their crystal size and grain structure.
Inoculum Preparation: The human pathogens viz., Salmonella typhimurium (MTCC-3219), Stap-hylococcus aureus (MTCC-7443), and Escherichia coli (MTCC-687) procured from MTCC, IMTECH, Chandigarh, Punjab, India. The inoculums were used from one-day-old cultures and the suspension was compared with 0.5 McFarland standard solution using spectrophotometer at Optical density 625 nm with value 0.08 - 0.13 prescribed by CLSI guidelines 32. The inoculants were having a concentration of 5×105 CFU/mL used further for the well diffusion technique for their drug susceptibility test.
Anti-bacterial Bioassay: The anti-bacterial bioassay of biologically synthesized ZnO NPs was evaluated using the agar well diffusion method 31, 33, 34. Using a sterile cotton swab, the prepared inoculum of test Pathogens viz., Salmonella typhimurium (MTCC-3219), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC-7443), and Escherichia coli (MTCC-687) were swabbed on the surface of sterilized nutrient agar plates. Using a micropipette 100 µl of 1000 ppm concentration of biologically synthesized ZnO NPs was added to all four wells 24, 25. Streptomycin was taken as a standard drug and for blank 100µl of sterile water was used. Quadruplets in each plate having a single dose of 1000 ppm and reading were compared with their standard, positive plates. The plates were incubated at 37ºC ± 2 ºC for 24 h placed in upright positions 31, 33, 35, 36. The anti-bacterial activity was measured in the form of the zone of inhibition diameter (in mm). The recorded values were further statistically calculated by one-way ANOVA of the Duncan formula using SPSS 16.0. The significant value was P > 0.05.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Structural Analysis of ZnO NPs: The X-ray diffraction pattern of the phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs has been recorded by X-ray Diffractometer for 2Ɵ values ranging from 20º- 70º using CuKα radiation as shown in Fig. 1. The X-ray diffraction pattern of ZnO nanoparticles exhibits that ZnO nano-biomaterial has a spherical structure with agglomeration and having stable peaks 37. These peaks have broadening, which implies that the ZnO nanoparticles have nanocrystalline nature. The calculated grain size of synthesized nanoparticles is found to be 25-35 nm range.

Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) Analysis: Scanning electron micrograph of ZnO nano-biomaterial showed spherical cluster shape. Particles are almost inconsistently distributed on the surface shown in Fig. 2 A-D.
The increased magnification showed that cluster shape grains are clearly spherical clusters with granular shape background uniformly distributed throughout the surface.

UV-Visible Absorption Analysis: The synthesized nanoparticles having absorption peak value at 355 nm in UV-vis spectra and is shown in Fig. 3.
The entire properties of nano-materials depend on its nano-size and crystal structure. Also optical property plays a vital role in stable nanoparticles and is done by UV-visible spectroscopy 38.

The significant sharp absorption ZnO NPs indicate the mono disappeared nature 39. The nano-crystals distribution of synthesized nanoparticles with particle radius of 17 nm having bandgap enlargement 40.
The prepared ZnO nanoparticles exhibit an absorbance peak at 355 nm, which corresponds to the particle size of 33.82 nm. Earlier researchers were found the size up to 62-94 nm (Catharanthus roseus leaf extract) 41; 15-20 nm (Bambusa Vulgaris leaf extract) 42; 25-30 nm (Sambucus ebulus leaf extract) 43 and 12-46 nm (Hibiscus subdariffa leaf extract 29.
These results have been confirmed by the SEM and XRD values. The nanoparticles were agglomeration (clusters) of spherical and crystalline structure 44, 45.
FTIR Analysis: FTIR analysis was carried out for the functional groups present in the synthesized ZnO NPs, shown in Fig. 4.
The phyto-synthesized sample of ZnO NPs exhibits several absorption bands such as 1559, 1447, 1343, 1023, 954, 695, 617, 518 cm-1. The broad absorption band peak at 1015 cm-1 is ascribed to the broadening pulsation of C-N bond. The absorption band at 1559 cm-1 is ascribed to 1º, 2º alcohol in-plane curve or pulsation and corresponding to the aromatic nitro compounds vibration modes.
The absorption peaks located at 1559, 1447, 1343, 1023, 954, 695, 617, 518 cm-1 are due to stretching vibrations as reported earlier 46.

Anti-bacterial Bioassay of Phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs: The phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs were further tested against human pathogens with the concentration of 1000 ppm by using the agar well diffusion method. The degree of susceptibility was measured as given by Tomova et al. 47, 48.
The present result observed that S. typhimurium found more sensitive against phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs as compared to remaining test pathogens.
A similar result was earlier stated by Levin-Reisman et al. 49 The significance level was 95% (p < 0.05).

S. aureus | 24.35 mm ± 0.43 mm | 26.6 mm ± 0.42 mm | Sensitive |
Note: Sensitive = ≥ 21 mm; Intermediate = 16-20 mm; Resistant = ≤ 15 mm 49.
FIG. 5: ANTI-BACTERIAL BIOASSAY OF ZnO NPs AGAINST TEST PATHOGENS (VALUES IN MM)
The anti-bacterial bioassay revealed that the phyto-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were showing potential anti-bacterial activity against test pathogens with their Zone of Inhibition Diameter values are 36.775 mm ± 1.27 mm for E. coli, 32.375 mm ± 1.96 mm for S. typhimurium and 24.35 mm ± 0.43 mm for S. aureus as compared to standard drug streptomycin (500 ppm) showed 25.5 mm ± 0.57 mm, 28.2 mm ± 0.63 mm and 26.6 mm ± 0.42 mm respectively. The anti-bacterial activity of phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs at concentration 1000 ppm was analyzed on the basis of Zone of Inhibition diameter Fig. 5, 6, and Table 1. The present data of E. coli with a value of 36.775 mm and S. aureus with a value of 24.35 mm was found more significant as compared to an earlier study performed by Narayan et al. 50 with chemically synthesized ZnO NPs with value for E. coli 17 mm and S. aureus 21 mm respectively 50. From the present investigation, the used concentration of ZnO NPs (1000 ppm) was found very low from the experiment performed by Nazoori and Kariminik 51 used the concentration of 2500 ppm for the chemically synthesized ZnO NPs.
FIG. 6 A, B AND C: ANTI-BACTERIAL BIOASSAY OF THE PHYTO-SYNTHESIZED ZnO NANOPARTICLE WITH CONCENTRATION OF 1000 PPM TESTED AGAINST ALL THE THREE TEST PATHOGENS
Farzana et al., 52 performed their experiment using purchased biologically synthesized ZnO NPs and reported 13.2 mm inhibition diameter against E. coli at 1000 ppm. The present study found more potential from the study of Farzana et al. 52 at the same concentration (1000 ppm) with ZID value 36.775 mm against E. coli 52. Thus, the present study found more and relevant from earlier studies. Many researchers reported biologically synthesized ZnO NPs are more effective as compared to chemically synthesized as well as these are bio-safe and non-hazardous 52. The present study demonstrated that all three pathogens are highly sensitive to ZnO NPs as accordance to Reddy et al. 53 and Narayana et al. 50 ZnO NPs easily penetrate the cell wall of both types of tested bacteria (Gram-positive and gram-negative) and able to damage the cellular metabolism of tested pathogenic bacteria. This mechanism was confirmed experimentally by Padmavathy and Vijayaraghvan 54, Feng et al. 55 and Furno et al. 56.
CONCLUSION: The present study found eco-friendly and highly potential against tested pathogens by showing excellent bacteriostatic activity. Phyto-synthesized ZnO NPs may serve as safe nano-drug which may be used as therapeutic agents due to their extensive pharmaceutical properties. ZnO NPs may also be used as tooth filling agents in dentistry.
