IntroductionIn the present study, we decided to prepare and formulate a new chemotherapeutic drug (silver nanoparticles in ‎aqueous medium using Salvia officinalis leaf aqueous extract) for the treatment of human ovarian cancer in the in ‎vitro condition.Material and methodsThe organometallic chemistry tests such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV–Visible Spectroscopy ‎‎(UV-Vis), and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR) were used for characterizing of silver ‎nanoparticles. For investigating the antioxidant potentials of AgNO3, Salvia officinalis aqueous extract, and ‎silver nanoparticles, the DPPH test was used in the presence of butylated hydroxytoluene as the positive ‎control. To survey the cytotoxicity and anti-human ovarian cancer activities of AgNO3, Salvia officinalis ‎aqueous extract, and silver nanoparticles, MTT assay was used on the human ovarian cancer cell lines i.e., Caov-‎‎3‎, SK-OV-3, and PA-1‎. ‎ResultsIn UV-Vis, the clear peak in the wavelength of 421 nm indicated the formation of silver nanoparticles. In FT-IR ‎test, the presence of many antioxidant compounds with related bonds caused the excellent condition for ‎reducing of silver in the silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles inhibited half of the DPPH molecules in ‎the concentration of 251 µg/mL. The best result of anti-human ovarian cancer effects of silver nanoparticles ‎against the above cell lines was observed in the case of the SK-OV-3 cell line. ‎ConclusionsSilver nanoparticles had very low cell viability and anti-human ovarian cancer properties dose-dependently ‎against Caov-3‎, SK-OV-3, and PA-1 cell lines without any cytotoxicity on the normal cell line (HUVECs). ‎

FE-SEM and TEM images revealed a uniform spherical morphology ‎in size of 19.72 nm for the green synthesized nanoparticles. DPPH test revealed similar antioxidant potentials ‎for silver nanoparticles and butylated hydroxytoluene. Silver nanoparticles had very low cell viability and anti-‎chronic myeloid leukemia properties dose-dependently against JOSK-M, EM-2, CML-T1, and BV173 cell lines ‎without any cytotoxicity on the HUVEC cell line.

Improvement of green route for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles with plant extracts plays a very important role in nanotechnology without any harmful chemicals. The present investigation demonstrates the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by treating silver nitrate with Graviola leaf extract at room temperature.The effect of the extract on the formation of silver nanoparticles was characterized by UV-Vis spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. The UV-Vis spectra results show a strong resonance centered on the surface of silvernanoparticles (AgNPs) at 400-450 nm. The Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy spectral study demonstrates Graviola leaf aqueous extract acted as the reducing and stabilizing agent during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. XRD and SEM studies revealed that the synthesized silver nanoparticles shows spherical in shape with average particles size around 30-70 nm.

Abstract Recently, scientists have understood that metallic nanoparticles green-synthesized by medicinal plants have significant anti-cancer effects in the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trial conditions. Also, the anti-lung cancer properties of metallic nanoparticles containing natural compounds have been indicated in many studies. In the recent research, we tried to investigate the application of a novel lung protective drug formulated by silver nanoparticles containing Curcuma longa L leaf aqueous extract on α-Guttiferin-induced DNA fragmentation and apoptosis in HEL 299, MRC-5, IMR-90, CCD-19Lu, WI-38, and BEAS-2B cell lines. Also, we assessed the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines, activity of caspase-3, and potential of mitochondrial membrane in the in vitro condition. Silver nanoparticles were characterized and analyzed by common physicochemical techniques including Transmission Electron Microscopy, Ultraviolet–Visible Spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy. In the biological part of the present research, the cell viability of HEL 299, MRC-5, IMR-90, CCD-19Lu, WI-38, and BEAS-2B cell lines was measured by trypan blue assay. Caspase-3 activity was assessed by the caspase activity colorimetric assay kit and mitochondrial membrane potential was studied by Rhodamine123 fluorescence dye. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) test was used to show DNA fragmentation and apoptosis. Also, the Rat inflammatory cytokine assay kit was used to measure the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines. Silver nanoparticles-treated cell cutlers significantly (p ≤ 0.01) reduced the DNA fragmentation, caspase-3 activity, and inflammatory cytokines concentrations, and raised the mitochondrial membrane potential and cell viability in the high concentration of α-Guttiferin-treated HEL 299, MRC-5, IMR-90, CCD-19Lu, WI-38, and BEAS-2B cells. The best result of lung protective and antioxidant properties of silver nanoparticles containing Curcuma longa L leaf aqueous extract was seen in the high dose of silver nanoparticles i.e., 4 µg. Assessment of the antioxidant properties of silver nanoparticles was done with the common free radical scavenging test i.e., DPPH in the presence of butylated hydroxytoluene as the positive control. The nanoparticles inhibited half of the DPPH molecules in the concentration of 149 µg/mL. According to the above results, silver nanoparticles containing Curcuma longa L leaf aqueous extract can be administrated as a lung protective drug for the treatment of lung diseases after approving in the clinical trial studies in humans.
