A Lantana camara leaf (LC) extract was used as a mild reducing agent to produce silver metal nanoparticles (LC-AgNPs) efficiently. The size, shape, and morphology of synthesized silver nanoparticles were verified. LC-AgNPs were found in LC extract by XRD. The optimal concentrations of silver nitrate and LC extract necessary for the production of stable silver nanoparticles were determined. The LC-AgNPs were found spherical in form and monodispersed. Under optimal conditions, the round LC-AgNPs of 50-90 nm were utilized to cure lung cancer (A549 cell line) and breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines. Finally, the produced LC-AgNPs enhanced anti-cancer efficacy against A549 cells, with an IC50 = 49.52 g/mL. Similarly, the effect of LC-AgNPs on MCF7 cell line was assessed using an MTT test and inhibitory concentration (IC50) was determined found that 46.67 g/mL.

Liver cancer has become a major global health challenge due to its high incidence, high rate of late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Although there are many clinical treatments available for liver cancer, the cure rate is still very low, and now researchers have begun to explore new aspects of liver cancer treatment, and nanotechnology has shown great potential for improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy and is therefore a promising treatment option. In diagnosis, nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, and silver nanoparticles can realize highly sensitive and specific detection of liver cancer biomarkers, supporting diagnosis and real-time monitoring of the disease process.

Background: Recurrent caries were attributed to the lack of antibacterial properties of the dental materials. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and calcium fluoride nanoparticles (CaF2NPs) are broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. The object of the study was to investigate the antibacterial properties of composite-incorporated AgNPs and CaF2NPs on .

Purpose: Biofilms are one of the main threats related to bacteria. Owing to their complex structure, in which bacteria are embedded in the extracellular matrix, they are extremely challenging to eradicate, especially since they can inhabit both biotic and abiotic surfaces. This study aimed to create an effective antibiofilm nanofilm based on graphene oxide-metal nanoparticles (GOM-NPs).

The environmental safety and health impacts of nanosilver have attracted much attention due to their continuous detection in water. Although the effects of nanosilver on aquatic organisms have been reported, the ecotoxicity and underlying mechanism of nanosilver in aquatic organisms are not fully understood. Fish gills are the primary target organs of pollutant exposure in aquatic environments, and is important to clarify the impact of nanosilver on aquatic organisms by systematically and comprehensively revealing the effect of nanosilver on fish gills.

This study explored the synergistic combination of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), eucalyptus-derived nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and cassava starch to develop bionanocomposites with advanced properties suitable for sustainable and antifungal packaging applications. The influence of AgNPs synthesized through a green method using cocoa bean shell combined with varying concentrations of NFC were investigated. Morphological (scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy), optical (L*, C*, °hue, and opacity), chemical (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), mechanical (puncture force, tensile strength, and Young's modulus), rheological (flow curve and frequency sweeps, strain, and stress), barrier, and hydrophilicity properties (water vapor permeability, solubility, wettability, and contact angle), as well as the antifungal effect against pathogens (Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum, Colletotrichum musae, and Fusarium semitectum), were analyzed.
