Abstract
The aim of the study is to explore zoochemical-mediated nanoparticle synthesis using marine sponge Hyattella intestinalis as a reducing agents. In this term, zoochemical-mediated nanoparticle synthesis using the zoo-chemicals from zoo-extract, which contains zoo-chemicals, is involved as reducing agents. The first time authors introduced the term “zoochemical-mediated nanoparticle synthesized” using zoo-chemicals from marine sponge Hyattella intestinalis as a reducing agent, which were involved in reducing metal ions to form nanoparticle. Zoo-chemicals are naturally occurring animal secondary metabolites like alkaloids, terpenoids, etc., produced by Hyattella intestinalis marine sponges, which are equivalent to plant secondary metabolites. Marine sponge Hyattella intestinalis provided several zoo-chemicals involved in reducing copper ions into Cu2+ from Cu0, which is a response to zoochemical-mediated CuO nanoparticle synthesis as recording zoo-chemicals as reducing agents. The finding of the results, zoo-chemicals are evidence of reducing agents that use nanoparticle synthesis, which results in effective nanobased, eco-friendly drugs. The author scientifically first time coined the term "zoochemical-mediated nanoparticle synthesis" using zoo-chemicals from Hyattella intestinalis.
