Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles From Plant Extracts: Characterization and Anticancer Applications

Multiple methods exist for synthesizing silver anoparticles. The process of producing nanoparticles using components derived from plants is referred to as "green synthesis." Due to its cost-effectiveness, ecological sustainability, and capacity for extensive manufacturing, this technology is experiencing a surge in popularity. In the present study, plant extract is used for the physiological synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The booming manufacturing of silver nanoparticles is evidenced by the dark brown color shift, which can be attributed to surface plasmon resonance. The silver nanoparticles were characterized using SEM and UV-vis spectroscopy. The investigation focused on examining the antimetastatic properties of silver nanoparticles on osteosarcoma cancer cell lines after the production and characterization of the particles. The application of silver nanoparticles to osteosarcoma cancer cell lines has been observed to induce anticancer activity and demonstrate notable efficacy in combating bacterial infections.
