Abstract
In this study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) has done using traditional herbal namely Cassia auriculata extract by the simple Green synthesis method. The synthesized Ag nanoparticles were studied by the characterization techniques includes X-ray diffraction (XRD) crystallography for nature of crystalline with relevant parameters, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for particle size as well as the SAED patterns for amorphous, crystalline or polynanocrystalline and Photoluminescence analysis were carried out for the prepared NPs. Ag NPs were fabricated utilizing Phyto-aquatic extract of Cassia auriculata which act as a reducing agent, and it was converted into a precursor solution to coat on cotton fabrics for antibacterial applications. To further, its performance on anticancer application was studied for Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) line breast cancer.
Keywords: Cassia auriculata, silver nanoparticles, cotton substrate and MCF-7 cell line.
