Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts as capping and reducing agents for the biomedical applications has received considerable attention. Moreover, emergence and spread of multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens has become a major health concern and lookout for novel alternative effective drugs has gained momentum. In current study, we synthesized gold nanoparticles using the seed extract of Trachyspermum ammi (TA-AuNPs), assessed its efficacy against drug resistant biofilms of Listeria monocytogenes and Serratia marcescens, and evaluated its anticancer potential against HepG2 cancer cell lines. Microwave-assisted green synthesis of gold nanoparticles was carried out and characterization was done using UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Most nanoparticles were observed as spherical and spheroidal with few anisotropies with an average crystalline size of 16.63 nm. Synthesized TA-AuNPs demonstrated significant biofilm inhibitory activity against L. monocytogenes (73%) as well as S. marcescens (81%). Exopolysaccharide (EPS), motility, and CSH, key elements that facilitate the formation and maintenance of biofilm were also inhibited significantly at the tested sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs). Further, TA-AuNPs effectively obliterated preformed mature biofilms of S. marcescens and L. monocytogenes by 64% and 58%, respectively. Induction of intracellular ROS production in TA-AuNPs treated bacterial cells could be the plausible mechanism for the reduced biofilm formation in test pathogens. Administration of TA-AuNPs resulted in the arrest of cellular proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. TA-AuNPs decrease the intracellular GSH in HepG2 cancer cell lines, cells become more prone to ROS generation, hence induce apoptosis. Thus, this work proposes a new eco-friendly and rapid approach for fabricating NPs which can be exploited for multifarious biomedical applications.

IntroductionRecently, scientists have ‎understood that metallic nanoparticles especially iron nanoparticles have ‎excellent anticancer properties‎. A green, productive, and environmentally method was developed for the valuable study and the effective preparation of the biosynthesis of iron nanoparticles using aqueous extracts from the leaf of Coriandrum sativum as a result of reducing and stabilizing factor. The simplicity of the reaction, heterogeneous system, and easy work up are the benefits of the present method.Material and methodsThe as-prepared nanoparticles (FeNPs) was characterized using UV-Vis, SEM, and FT-IR. It has ‎been shown that the iron nanoparticles have spherical shape and uniform size.ResultsThe synthesized nanoparticles had very low cell viability and high anti-liver cancer activities ‎dose-dependently against pleomorphic hepatocellular carcinoma (SNU-387), hepatic ductal ‎carcinoma (LMH/2A), morris hepatoma (McA-RH7777), and novikoff hepatoma (N1-S1 Fudr) ‎cell lines without any cytotoxicity on the normal cell line (HUVEC). The synthesized ‎nanoparticles inhibited half of the DPPH molecules in the concentration of 132 µg/mL. Perhaps ‎notable anti-liver cancer activities of the synthesized nanoparticles against common liver cancer ‎cell lines are linked to their antioxidant activities. ‎ConclusionsOur results point out that the FeNPs from Coriandrum sativum extract are apposite stabilizing ‎agents, which serve as an effective anticancer agent against liver cancer cell lines.‎

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. Results : AgNPs were identified by change of color & their absobtion at 340 nm measured by UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR spectral analysis confirmed phenolic compounds presence, morphology & size visualized in SEM, TEM used for determination of size, shape & light scattering analysis. Synthesized silver nanoparticles were spherical in shape and size less than 50 nm. XRD analysis was affirmed the crystalline nature of metal particles. In-vitro cytotoxic result showed an excellent IC50 value of 155.81μg/ml and 114.74 μg/ml against HepG-2 & MCF-7 cell lines. Conclusion: The current study reveals green synthesized AgNPs possess high cytotoxic action against HepG-2 & MCF-7 cell lines which suggested the use of silver nanoparticles as a medicine to treat hepatic & breast cancer.
