Green Synthesis of Silver, Copper and Bimetallic (Ag-Cu) Nanoparticle using Aqueous Extract of Achyranthes Aspera for Hepatoprotective activity on HEPG2 Cell lines against CCl4 induced toxicity
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: One of theprominent rich resources used in the synthesis of medication is medicinal plants. Nanoparticles exhibit considerable potential across various domains and disciplines in Medicine. The synthesis of nanoparticles from plant sources has advantages over traditional chemical methods. This study explores an eco-friendly processby which the synthesized silver nanoparticles along withCopper nanoparticles (AgNPs/ CuNPs) utilize Achyranthes aspera and evaluates their hepatoprotective effects using HepG2 cell lines. The nanoparticles were produced and characterized through UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, and FTIR analyses. The present study results indicate that silver-copper nanoparticles generated from A. aspera seeds have the capability to serve as protective agents for the liver against damage caused by carbon tetrachloride.
