Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using <em>Scindapsus officinalis</em> (Gajpipli): In-Vitro Cytotoxic Activity Against HepG-2 &amp; MCF-7 Cancer Cell Lines

Abstract

Background: Green synthesis of silver (Ag) nanoparticle was performed with the fruit extract of Scindapsus officinalis and test against HepG-2, MCF-7 cancer cell lines. These biosynthesized metal nanoparticles have a potential of therapeutic use as an alternative medicine for the treatment of hepatic & breast cancer cases.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using the Plant Extract of Acer oblongifolium and Study of Its Antibacterial and Antiproliferative Activity via Mathematical Approaches

“…Moreover, the velocity and temperature profiles of pure nanoparticles and mixed nanoparticles (AgNPs mixed with water) are given for the first time in the current study of a green synthesis approach. Additionally, the IC50 values in the antiproliferative activity performed in the current study were far lower than in some other recent studies, revealing that the nanoparticles synthesized in the current study have more cytotoxic potential than previously synthesized nanoparticles [22][23][24][25].…”

Green approaches for the synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles using microbial and plant extracts

“…Green synthesis approaches for nanomaterial preparation are highly promising as they promote the use of non-toxic and renewable materials and efficient and reduced energy consumption compared with traditional synthesis approaches that rely on harmful chemicals and solvents, such as sodium borohydride or hydrazine. 116 In green synthesis methods, water is mostly used as the solvent along with renewable and eco-friendly materials as reducing and stabilizing agents. 120 The biomolecules and phytochemicals extracted from microbes and plants, respectively, are extensively utilized biological reducing and stabilizing agents for the green synthesis of nanoparticles.…”
