Cytotoxic and Bactericidal Effect of Silver Nanoparticles Obtained by Green Synthesis Method Using Aqueous Extract and Functionalized with 5-Fluorouracil.

Nanomaterials obtained by green synthesis technologies have been widely studied in recent years owing to constitute cost-effective and environmental-friendly methods. In addition, there are several works that report the simultaneous performance of the reducer agent as a functionalizing agent, modifying the properties of the nanomaterial. As a simple and economical synthesis methodology, this work presents a method to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous extract and functionalized with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
