Effect of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles by Garcinia mangostana extract against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7

Abstract

Breast cancer is the greatest common malignancy in females. This syndrome represents a serious public health problem that needs additional study to define its prediction and specific treatment. MCF-7 is a usually used breast cancer cell line that has been spread for many years by multiple groups. It shows to be a suitable model cell line for breast cancer studies worldwide, including those concerning anticancer. Anticancer and anti-inflammatory influences are important to treat the threats of chronic inflammation related with chronic diseases. Natural products have made and are remaining to make vital influences to the search for new anticancer agents. The use of natural foodstuffs in relationship with green nanoparticles has drawn attention because of its easy and eco-friendly protocol. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the antiproliferative activity of silver nanoparticles biosynthesized by mangosteen peel extract (MPE) on human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) using [3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. In the present study serial concentrations (5, 10, 15, 50, 70, µg/mL) of cells biosynthesized silver nanoparticles by (MPE) was tested against MCF-7 cell lines showed a cytotoxic effects, morphological degeneration, damaging and has more effectiveness against breast cancer cells. The results showed a substantial a high reducing power, a sensible antiproliferative role and antioxidant activity. The results showed that silver nanoparticles biosynthesized by mangosteen peel extract (MPE) can be regarded as a suitable candidate for designing anticancer pharmaceutical preparations.
