ABSTRACT
The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using
Elettaria cardamomum (seed) extract and its cytotoxicity activity
against Hep-2 cell line were reported. The synthesized AgNPs using
Elettaria cardamomum extract was preliminarily confirmed by UV–
visible spectroscopy and it was further characterized by FT-IR.
The UV–visible spectrum showed an absorption peak at 456 nm
which reflects surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AgNP. the
green synthesized AgNPs exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxicity
against Human Larynx Carcinoma cancer(Hep-2) and the
inhibitory concentration (IC50) were found to be 51μg/ml.
Furthermore, the synthesized SNPs shows significant anticancer
activity against Hep-2 cancer cell line.
Keywords: Silver Nanoparticle, Anticancer, Elettaria cardamomum.
