Abstract

In the current study, Citrus reticulata peel extract was used to synthesize cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO NPs). The CdO NPs were characterized through XRD, SEM, and UV DRS analyses. The CdO NPs have a single face centeredcubic phase confirmed by XRD study. . The UV DRS was utilized to calcu late the band gap of bio fabricated NPs and was found to be 2.58 eV. Moreover, diverse biological applications such as antibacterial, antioxidant, sstudies on the effects of Citrus reticulata peel extract-mediated CdO NPs on DNA damage were disclosed. The CdO NPs' antibacterial efficacy shown improved bactericidal performance when evaluated against human pathogens. The antioxidant potential of CdO NPs was assessed using the DPPH assay, which demonstrated strong antioxidant activity. Furthermore, CdO NPs induced by Citrus reticulata peel extract demonstrated DNA damage. Therefore, these biogenically generated NPs operate as effective therapeutic agents because of their biological functioning.
