Phytofabrication of silver nanoparticles using Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract for anticancer activity

Abstract

Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract was successfully utilized as a reducing agent to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the laboratory.

A comprehensive review of green synthesis, characterization and biomedical applications of silver nanoparticle synthesized using plant extracts

“…Due to its ability to target specific cells or tumour tissue and function as drug delivery systems, scientists have focused a great deal of emphasis on the use of silver nanoparticles in cancer treatment(Wicki et al, 2015;Khatami et al, 2018). Recent studies have revealed that the silver nanoparticles having a size range of 5-35 nm can mediate the targeted drug delivery as well as can induce programmed cell death (Apoptosis) through mitochondria(Leena et al, 2023).…”
