Abstract

The researchers are working hard to discover eco-friendly alternatives to chemically synthesized metal nanoparticles. The current study used Corchorus aestuans to evaluate bio-synthesis, physiochemical characterization and antimicrobial activities against human pathogenic bacteria and also the anticancer activity. The bio-synthesized Corchorus aestuans silver nanoparticles (CA-AgNPs) were characterized by UV, FT-IR, powder XRD, FE-SEM, EDAX, HR-TEM, DLS and Zeta potential. The MTT assay also demonstrated improved cytotoxicity against bosom malignant breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines with IC50 value of 56.47 μg/mL. The CA-AgNPs were also found to be antimicrobial effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Furthermore, after 48 h of interaction, the bio-synthesized CA-AgNPs successfully degraded the Methylene Blue (MB) dye by nearly 91.19%.
