Cymodocea serrulata-capped silver nanoparticles for battling human lung cancer, breast cancer, hepatic cancer: Optimization by full factorial design and in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation.

ABSTRACT: In recent times, there has been growing interest in nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through biological means due to their ease of production and their potential applications in the field of biology. This study presents an environmentally friendly method for the biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaf extract of Cymodocea serrulata as both a reducing agent and a capping agent. Various physico-chemical and microscopic techniques were employed to comprehensively characterize the biogenically produced AgNPs. The results of these characterization studies confirmed the formation of spherical, stable, and crystalline AgNPs with an average size of 30.5 ± 2.5 nm. Furthermore, the antibacterial assessment revealed the remarkable antibacterial properties of these biog
