Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Amomum nilgiricum leaf extracts: preparation, physicochemical characterization and ameliorative effect against human cancer cell lines.

ABSTRACT: The present study to production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by leaf extracts of A. nilgiricum and to evaluate the activity of anticancer by using AgNPs against cancer cell lines such as MCF-7, HEPG2, H9C2, HEK293 and H1975. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, EDS, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, SEM and HRTEM with SAED patterns. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AgNPs formed a peak centered at 427 nm by UV-Vis analysis. FTIR analysis reveals that existence of functional groups subjected to silver ions reduction to metallic silver. Crystalline form of the AgNPs was assessed by XRD analysis, four spectral peaks at 111, 200, 220, and 311 were formed and zeta potential peak was found at 28.5 mV indicating the higher stability. The size average diameter of th
