- Biosynthesis of AgNps from aqueous leaves extract of Guiera senegalensis
- Anticancer potential of the synthesized AgNps
- Antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNps
- Degradation of p-nitrophenol and congo red dye by the synthesized AgNps
The study concentrate on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNps) from the leaves extract of Guiera senegalensis with focus on its; antiproliferation effect on prostate (PC3), breast (MCF7) and liver (HepG2) cancer cell lines, antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the degradation on 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and congo red dye (CR). The synthesized AgNps were characterized by FTIR, TEM, FESEM, XRD and EDX analysis. The EDS spectrum revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles (Nps) were composed of 55.45% Ag atoms of spherical shape with approximately 50 nm size, identified from TEM and FESEM data. The antiproliferation effect of the AgNps varies with cell lines in a concentration dependent manner. The result showed that the AgNps were more effective on PC3 (IC50 23.48 μg/mL) than MCF7 (29.25 μg/mL) and HepG2 (33.25 μg/mL) by the virtue of their IC50 values. The AgNps were highly effective against E. coli and S. aureus by killing 99% colonies. The AgNps also shows a good catalytic reduction of the toxic organic pollutants in which only 3 mg of the AgNps degraded 95% of both CR dye and 4-NP in 22 and 36 min respectively. Therefore, the green synthesis of AgNps may have potential applications in pharmacology and industries for the treatment of cancers, bacterial infections and in degrading toxic organic pollutants in water.
