Biofabrication of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) Using Embelin for Effective Therapeutic Management of Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Nanobiotechnology is a burgeoning field of research with applications in cancer treatment, targeted chemotherapy, and molecular diagnosis. This study aims at the fabrication of silver nanoparticles using embelin derived from Embelia ribes to evaluate its anticancer property. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as a novel nano-carrier for therapeutic agents with a wide range of medical capabilities due to their unique structural, physicochemical, and optical features. In our study, the particle size of fabricated AgNPs was measured as 25 nm, and the zeta potential was recorded as -5.42 mV, which indicates the good stability of embelin-derived AgNPs. The crystalline surface morphology was observed by SEM analysis. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed the reduction in silver ions (Ag
