Abstract

A hydrothermal method was employed for green synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots (GCDs) from Annona squamosa leaves. The synthesized GCDs were confirmed by microscopic and spectroscopic techniques such as: High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM), UV-Vis spectrometry, Fluorescence spectrometry, X-Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS), X-ray Diffraction spectroscopy(XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR). The produced GCDs had shown multiple properties, including massiveantibacterial activity at concentration 200μg/ml. The stabilization of human red blood cells served as a method to assess the anti-inflammatory activity. We also looked at how GCDs affected the angiogenesis process. The density of blood vessels wassignificantly decreased after treatment with GCDs, according to the results of the Chorio-Allantoic Membrane assay (p < 0.05). As per the study prepared GCDs from fallen leavesofAnnona squamosahave multifunctional applications.
