A feasible approach to phyto-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles using industrial crop Gossypium hirsutum (cotton) extract as stabilizing agent and assessment of its in vitro biomedical potential

- Instigation and eco-friendly method of AgNPs synthesis using cotton leaf extract.
- Characterized by UV-visible, FTIR, XRD, EDX, FESEM, and HRTEM analysis.
- AgNPs were crystalline in nature, spherical in shape, and between 13 and 40 nm in size.
- Showed significant effect on antimicrobial and antioxidant activity.
- Acted as a potential anticancer agent against A549 lung cancer cells.
