摘要

This article explores the phyto-synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) derived from the floral extract of Punica granatum and their potential applications in antibacterial and anticancer treatments. In the synthesis process, silver nitrate (AgNO3) has been utilized as both a reducing and stabilizing agent, leading to the successful formation of stable silver nanoparticles (PG-Ag NPs). The nanoparticles were characterized using various analytical techniques, revealing their spherical shape and uniform dispersion, with an average size of ~ 27 (± 2) nm. The antibacterial and anticancer properties of the PG-AgNPs have been investigated, demonstrating significant anticancer activity with an IC50 value of ~ 13 µg/mL. Furthermore, the nanoparticles exhibited potent antimicrobial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. These findings indicate that PG-Ag NPs, synthesized from Punica granatum flower extract, present a promising and cost-effective solution for antibacterial and anticancer applications.
