Biosynthesized bimetallic nanoparticles containing CeO₂ and ZnO exert shape and size dependent anticancer effects.

ABSTRACT: Bimetallic nanoparticles contain attractive properties because they show simultaneously two metals atom functions. ZnO and CeO₂ nanoparticles exhibited biocompatibility and anticancer activity properties. Therefore, we studied the anticancer effect of bimetallic nanoparticles containing ZnO and CeO₂ derived from walnut shell powder on colorectal and breast cancer cells. The ZnCeO₃, CeO₂@ZnO, and ZnO@CeO₂ NPs were synthesized from walnut shell powder and characterized and then their anticancer effects were evaluated. UV-visible spectrometry showed the peak absorbance near to361 nm. FESEM analysis determined the size of The ZnCeO₃, CeO₂@ZnO, and ZnO@CeO₂ NPs (29, 26, and 22 nm, respectively). DPPH test sh
