Abstract:In this work, we report the development of ZnO NPs by using environmentally friendly SCS using Mimosa pudica (MP) leaves. The obtained ZnO-MP-NPs were subjected to extensive characterization techniques such as PXRD, BET, SEM, & TEM. Further, ZnO-MP-NPs were evaluated for their antioxidant ability by DPPH method. Their anticancer capability was assessed by MTT assay on human breast cancer cell ine MCF-7. The results indicated the potential applications of ZnO-MP-NPs both as antioxidant and anticancer agents.
