Abstract (EN)
The aim of this study was the use of rhizomes aqueous extract of Phragmites australis to mediate copper nanoparticles synthesis and evaluate their biological and pharmacological activities. The characteriza
tion of the CuNPs was done using different techniques. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were assessed using two methods for each. Anti-cancer potential was evaluated by the means of MTT assay. UV-Vis spectra showed a peak at 300 nm. The crystalline structure of the phyto-synthesised CuNPs was confirmed by XRD and the grain size was estimated to be 19.76 nm. Further, the obtained nanoparticles exhibit a remarkable antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 2.33 ± 0.22 µg/mL and 131.30 ± 0.67 µg/mL for DPPH and FRAP
tests respectively. Values of IC50 for the anti-inflammatory activity in both tests were conspicuous and revealed a substantial capability of green CuNPs. The cytotoxicity of Phragmites australis mediated synthesized CuNPs against MCF-7 cell lines disclosed a dose dependent efficacy. Green synthesized CuNPs showed a promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and a prominent anti-cancer power at very small doses.

Abstract (other)
El objetivo de este estudio fue el uso de extracto acuoso de rizomas de Phragmites australis para mediar la síntesis de nanopartículas de cobre y evaluar sus actividades biológicas y farmacológicas. La caracterización de las CuNPs se realizó utilizando diferentes técnicas. Las actividades antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias se evaluaron utilizando dos métodos para cada una. El potencial anticancerígeno se evaluó mediante el ensayo MTT. Los espectros UV-Vis mostraron un pico a 300 nm. La estructura cristalina de las CuNPs fitosintetizadas se confirmó por XRD y el tamaño de grano se estimó en 19,76 nm. Además, las nanopartículas obtenidas exhiben una notable actividad antioxidante, con valores de IC50 de 2,33 ± 0,22 µg/mL y 131,30 ± 0,67 µg/mL para las pruebas DPPH y FRAP respectivamente. Los valores de IC50 para la actividad antiinflamatoria en ambas pruebas fueron notables y revelaron una capacidad sustancial de las CuNP verdes. La citotoxicidad de las CuNP sintetizadas mediadas por Phragmites
australis contra las líneas celulares MCF-7 reveló una eficacia dependiente de la dosis. Las CuNP verdes sintetizadas mostraron actividades antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias prometedoras y un destacado poder anticancerígeno en dosis muy pequeñas
