Discovery of high antibacterial and antitumor effects against multi-drug resistant clinically isolated bacteria and MCF-7 and AGS cell lines by biosynthesized silver nanoparticles using Oxalis corniculata extract Ebrahimzadeh, Mohammad Ali Alizadeh, Seyedeh Roya Hashemi, Zahra Green synthesis Characterization Oxalis corniculate Anticancer activity Silver nanoparticles Antibacterial activity The green technique is a unique way to produce functional nanoparticles. We examined the green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (O-AgNPs) by the extract of Oxalis corniculata. Green-synthesized O-AgNPs were accomplished by monitoring critical factors such as concentration, pH, reaction time, and temperature. Several analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, were applied to characterize O-AgNPs. The SEM analysis showed O-AgNPs with a spherical shape and an average size of 33.57 nm. The XRD pattern indicated the face-centered cubic (fcc) structure of the prepared O-AgNPs. The anticancer activity of the synthesized O-AgNPs was investigated in MCF-7 (breast) and AGS (gastric) cell lines, indicating high anticancer effects against selected cell lines. The growth of all selected bacteria containing Gram+ and Gram- was inhibited by O-AgNPs. O-AgNPs showed greater inhibition in comparison to conventional antibiotics. As a result, our green synthesized AgNPs using plant extracts exhibited anticancer and antibacterial activities.
