Cytotoxic properties of Pelargonium graveolens leaf extract and its green-synthesized gold nanoparticles (in vitro study)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: leaves and green-synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a mouthwash when used as a substitute for commercial mouthwashes. Human dermal fibroblasts from neonates (HDFn) were used in this study that done in vitro, because their characteristics were nearly identical to those of human gingival fibroblasts. Method: gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) utilizing a human fibroblast-derived standard cell line. Results: AuNPs and normal human fibroblasts. Conclusion: leaf extract show high level of biocompatibility and has low cytotoxicity. Therefore, herbal mouthwash formulations can serve as a viable substitute for chemical mouthwashes.
