Comparative Estimation of the Cytotoxic Activity of Different Parts of L.: Crude Extracts versus Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles with Apoptotic Investigation.

Different parts of L. and their green synthesized eco-friendly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were screened for their cytotoxicity and apoptotic activity. Results showed that flower extract AgNPs exhibited more potent cytotoxicity compared to the normal form against PC-3 and A549 cell lines with IC values of 2.

Silver Nanoparticles Formulation of Flower Head's Polyphenols of L.: A Promising Candidate against Prostate (PC-3) Cancer Cell Line through Apoptosis Activation.

L. (Family: Compositae) or artichoke is a nutritious edible plant widely used for its hepatoprotective effect. Crude extracts of flower, bract, and stem were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant activity and phenolic content.
