Abstract
The biosynthesized Ag NPs was synthesized by using marine mangrove plant extract Avicennia marina. The synthesized Ag NPs was confirmed by various physiochemical characterization including UV-spectrometer and XRD analysis. In addition, the shape and of the synthesized Ag NPs was morphologically identified by SEM initially and TEM finally. After confirmation, the anti-cancer property of synthesized Ag NPs was confirmed at 50 µg/mL concentration against A549 lung cancer cells by MTT assay. Further, the ability to stimulate the ROS generation and mitochondrial membrane at the IC(50) concentration of Ag NPs was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using DCFH-DA and rhodamine 123 dyes respectively. Finally, the result was concluded that the synthesized Ag NPs has improved anti-cancer activity against A549 cells at lowest concentration.
