Abstract:Silver nanoparticles (Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) have been used as an antimicrobial and as disinfectant. Nevertheless, there is limited data about its antitumor potential. This study focused on investigating the cytotoxic effects of Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) from Butea monosperma flower extract on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and its mechanism of action. Green method was created for the synthesis of Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) using an aqueous extract of B. monosperma flower. Synthesis of hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) was described… Show more
