Facile synthesis of anisotropic gold nanoparticles and its synergistic effect on breast cancer cell lines.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) possess colourful light-scattering properties due to different composition, size and shape. Their unique physical, optical and chemical properties coupled with advantages, have increased the scope of anisotropic AuNPs in various fields. This study reports a green methodology developed for the synthesis of anisotropic AuNPs.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using the extract of -antiproliferative effect against prostate cancer cells.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out using the aqueous extract of under various experimental conditions. The aqueous extract of showed significant potential for the quick reduction of silver ions. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized with UV-visible absorption spectrophotometer, XRD, SEM, and FTIR analysis.
