Anticancer activity of biologically synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles on mouse myoblast cancer cells and their toxicity against embryonic zebrafish

Synthesis paradigm and applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), a review

“…Recently, AgNPs synthesis by plants extract divert researchers' attention and continued to increase its synthesis from various plant extracts such as synthesis of AgNPs from Bunium persicum seeds extract [64], Hamamelis virginiana leaf extract [65], Carpobrotus acinaciformis extract [66], Psychotria nilgiriensis leaf extract [67], Rubus ellipticus leaf extract [68], Phyllanthus acidus L. fruit extracts [69], Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposite synthesis using Euphorbia heterophylla leaf extract [70], Ag/ zeolite nanocomposite using Euphorbia prolifera leaf extract [71], Ag nanoparticles using Tamarind fruit extract [72], AgNPs using Carpobrotus acinaciformis extract [66], Ag/RGO nanocomposite by use of Abutilon hirtum leaf extract [73], Euphorbia helioscopia linn as a green source for synthesis of silver [74], Ag and Au nanoparticles using Spinacia oleracea linn. Leaf extract [75], Ag nanocomposite using Euphorbia heterophylla leaf extract [76]. Use of plant extracts for green of synthesis AgNPs has a quite significant impact on the environmental and economic feasibility.…”

“…In the field of nanotechnology AgNPs gained unlimited focus because of its unique property. The chemical stability and catalytic effect of silver nanoparticles have an advantage over the other metallic nanoparticles for antibacterial [2,47], antiviral [44,58], anticancer [75] antifungal and to anti-inflammatory activities [3,4]. Silver has long been recognized as having an inhibitory effect on microbes present in a medical and industrial process [36,37].…”

Gold nanoparticles in ophthalmology

“…The developing zebrafish is an established model allowing the identification of toxicity mechanisms, and thus the assessment in vivo GNP toxicity . Zebrafish embryos were exposed to 1.3 nm GNP with nonrenewal doses from 0.008 to 5 μg.…”

Effects of in ovo Supplementation with Nano-nutrition (L-Arginine Conjugated with Ag NPs) on Muscle Growth, Immune Response and Heat Shock Proteins at Different Chicken Embryonic Development Stages

“…Ten grams of fresh and healthy Brassica oleracea L. var capitate f. Rubra (BOL) leaves were cleaned with tap water, followed by cleaning with distilled water (D.H2O) several times to remove any external particles adhered onto their surface. They were then boiled in 100 ml of D.H2O for 5 min in a microwave oven by the method of [22]. The resulting extract was filtered through a Whatman filter paper.…”
