Abstract
Silver nanoparticles have been extensively studied and used for biological and biomedical applications due to its antimicrobial properties. In this study, we have developed silver nanoparticles with saponin (S-AgNPs) using microwave-mediated methodology and physiochemically characterised and evaluated its anticancer potential. According to UV–visible spectroscopy, S-AgNPs exhibited a maximum absorption peak at a wavelength of 420 nm. DLS analysis revealed that S-AgNPs have an average diameter of around 133.8 ± 10 nm. HR-TEM analysis confirms the spherical morphology of S-AgNPs. Further, the anticancer effect of S-AgNPs was validated using A459 lung cancer cells by in vitro cell interaction tests such as the MTT assay, staining assay, and flow cytometry assay. The IC50 value of S-AgNPs against A549 cells was 30 μg ml−1, and Calcein-EtBr and Annexin V/PI staining results confirm the presence of apoptotic cells after treatment S-AgNPs. Hence, biosynthesized S-AgNPs can play a vital role in developing anticancer drugs for cancer treatment.
