Antibacterial and Anticancer Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized from Cynodon dactylon Leaf Extract
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Cynodon dactylon leaf extract and this study demonstrates the efficacy of biologically synthesized Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as anticancer and antibacterial agent. Anticancer activity of the biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles was studied using HEpG-2 cell line. The AgNPs showed dose-dependent cytotoxicity against HEpG-2 cells. Antimicrobial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus lutues and Salmonella typhimurium. The zone of inhibition increased with the increase in the concentration of silver nanoparticles. Antimicrobial activity and anticancer activity of the green synthesized silver nanoparticles proves the potential of silver nanoparticles in the area of nanomedicine.
