Article Synopsis
- A new lectin named ARL was extracted from Asparagus racemosus roots, weighing 14.0 kDa and consisting of 4.8% carbohydrates, and exhibits hemagglutination activity in human and mouse blood cells.
- ARL demonstrated a significant ability to inhibit the growth of human colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116), inducing apoptosis and impacting gene expressions related to cancer progression.
- In mouse studies, ARL also showed effectiveness against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, influencing cell cycle phases and increasing certain protein expressions linked to cancer inhibition.
Recently, green synthesis of silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl-NPs) has gained a lot of interest because of the usage of natural resources, rapidness, eco-friendliness, and benignancy. Several researchers reported that silver-based biogenic NPs have both antimicrobial and anticancer properties. In the present study, Ag/AgCl-NPs were synthesized from fruit extract, and their antibacterial, antifungal, and antiproliferative mechanisms against human MCF-7 cell lines were evaluated.
