The green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) from plant extracts is an innovative and considered as an effective method, which has many biological and therapeutic benefits. In this regard, silver nanoparticles were synthesized from leaves of Mangifera indica (Mango) and their properties were characterized. Morphological characterizations such as UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirm the physical characteristics of silver nano-particles. In addition, Mangifera indica phytochemicals possesses DPPH radical scavenging activity, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. The nano formulation (phytochemicals + NPs) is also tested against the Hep G2 human cell line for anticarcinogenic properties. Nano formulation concentrations at 300μg/ml shown anticarcinogenic effect to Hep G2 human cell lines up to 53.29768%. The Bio pesticidal activity of the paddy pest Cicadella viridis (green leaf hopper) was checked through an antifeedant assay and the activity of the pest was decreased with the introduction of nano formulation. These results show better antioxidant, antibacterial and anticarcinogenic properties. Thus, they can be used to replace chemical therapeutic drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
