Abstract
Chitosan derived silver biocomposites (CsS) were produced by green synthesis using Carmona retusa (Vahl) Masam aqueous leaf extract. UV–Vis spectra of synthesized CsS biocomposites showed absorption maxima at 441 nm. FESEM average particle size was 51 nm and spherical in shape. TEM images of CsS biocomposite ranged between 30 nm to 60 nm, the DLS measurement showed the size of 234.1 nm for chitosan derived AgNPs. In FTIR spectra, the C–H winding and were observed for CsS biocomposites. In addition, the elemental composition showed uniform grain boundaries as recognized by EDaX spectra. In-vitro antioxidant activity CsS biocomposites showed the ability to scavenge free radicals. Cytotoxicity analysis of CsS biocomposites on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line revealed 90% inhibition at 500 μg/ml concentration. C. retusa mediated synthesis AgNPs coated chitosan biocomposite showed strong larvicidal activity with low LC50 and LC90 values against the malarial vector, An. stephensi, Ae. aegypti, and Cx. quinquefasciatus respectively. Eight bioactive components were present in aqueous leaf extracts of C. retusa. Based on this study we suggest that C. retusa plant mediated AgNPs chitosan derived silver biocomposites (CsS) has anti-cancerous and insecticidal activity which can further be explored for commercialization.
