“…However, many studies showed that Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) may induce genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in cancer and normal cell lines (Susan et al, 2009). Physical and chemical properties of hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ), including surface chemistry, weight, size distribution, shape, particle morphology, particle composition, coating/capping, agglomeration, dissolution rate, solution particle reactivity, efficiency of ion release, type of cell, and finally type of reducing agents used for synthesis, are essential elements in determining cytotoxicity (Pradhan et al, 2016a). In the present study, the phytochemicals present in the extract of B. monosperma flower are, namely glycosides and flavonoids, which act as reducing as well as a capping agent and help in stabilizing the nanoparticles.…”
