Anti-human breast cancer, cytotoxicity and antioxidant effects of ZnNPs
green-formulated by Abelmoschus esculentus leaf aqueous extract
Abstract
In the present study, zinc nanoparticles were green-synthesized using
the aqueous extract of Abelmoschus esculentus. The chemical
characterization of was studied different techniques. The anti-human
breast cancer activity of ZnNPs@Abelmoschus esculentus was evaluated
using MTT assay. The nanoparticles were formed in a spherical shape with
a size less than 75 nm for the particle size. The treated cells with
ZnNPs@Abelmoschus esculentus were assessed by MTT assay for 48h about
the cytotoxicity and anti-human breast cancer properties on normal
(HUVEC) and breast cancer cell lines i.e. AU-565, DU4475, and
MDA-MB-157. In the antioxidant test, the IC50 of ZnNPs@Abelmoschus
esculentus and BHT against DPPH free radicals were 269 and 174 µg/mL,
respectively. The viability of malignant breast cell lines reduced
dose-dependently in the presence of ZnNPs@Abelmoschus esculentus. The
IC50 of ZnNPs@Abelmoschus esculentus were 167, 172, and 307 µg/mL
against AU-565, DU4475, and MDA-MB-157 cell lines, respectively.
