The present study deals with the synthesis of Cr2O3nanoparticles (NPs) using Cannabis sativa leaves extract and to assess anti biochemical cancer and corrosion inhibitory activity. The formation of nanoparticles was established by spectrophotometer (UV-vis) at a wavelength of 425 nm while it was kept for one month at room temperature for stability checking. Dynamic Light Scattering analysis revealed the formation of stable Cr2O3 NPs measuring 85-90 nm in diameter. Furthermore, Cr2O3 NPs and Cannabis sativa leaves extract were checked for anti-cancer activity in HepG2 cell lines. The recorded percent cell viability of HepG2 was 64.10 at a minimum concentration (0.01 ppm), whereas at a maximum concentration (10 ppm) it was reduced to 47.25 % after 12 hrs. Further, at 24 hrs, it was reduced up to 21 % and 34.45 % at a minimum and maximum concentrations, respectively. Hence, green synthesized Cr2O3 NPs possessed promising anti-cancer activity. Loss in weight method is used to evaluate the corrosion inhibition activity on mild steel in 0.5 M HCl, HNO3, and NH3 solutions. The value of IE also increases with increasing the concentration of Cr2O3 NPs. It is clear that in basic (NH3) medium, Cr2O3 NPs show the highest inhibition performance of about 89%, and in an acidic medium, it was80%at 1.0 g/l concentration. The concentration of Cr2O3 NPs increases with a decrease in the rate of corrosion, which confirmed an increase in the efficiency of inhibition.
