In-vitro Antioxidant Activity and Flow Cytometric Analysis of Simarouba glauca DC Bark Extract Induced Apoptosis in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells.

Objective: Ethnomedicinally Simarouba glauca DC is an important plant containing major class of phenols and terpenoids as bioactive compounds. The present study focuses on the evaluation of the anticancer effects of S. glauca bark UAE-EA (Ultrasonicator Assisted Extraction - Ethyl Acetate) fraction (SG-Fraction) against MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cell lines.

Characterization and cytotoxic effect of biogenic silver nanoparticles on mitotic chromosomes of (Blatt. & McCann) Stearn.

Noble metal nanoparticles afford a tool for investigation and its application in biological systems has had the greatest impact in biology and biomedicine. The present work reports an ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using an aqueous leaf extract of The silver nanoparticles were characterized by using following instruments viz. UV-vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, XRD AFM and HR-TEM.
