Synthesis, characterization and anti-cancer activity of Tinospora cordifolia extract medicated Silver nanoparticles

Abstract

With great authority various processed metals like silver, gold, etc were used by the traditional Indian systems to treat the various disorders; the usage of green synthesized metal nanoparticle preparations can be termed as a unique feature in healthcare system. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) come under the group of costly metals having high therapeutic value. The silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are one of the most indispensable and fascinating nanomaterials among various metallic nanoparticles that are involved in biomedical applications. In the present research, we discuss the green synthesis of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and characterization is performed using a variety of analytical techniques, including photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), TEM and UV vis, spectroscopy. The cell viability assay results showed that Tinospora cordifolia- Ag nanoparticles inhibited proliferation of human cancer cell line A549.
