Chemical Characterization and antioxidant, cytotoxicity, and
anti-gastric cancer activities of gold nanoparticles using Mangifera
indica extract: Introducing a novel chemotherapeutic drug
Abstract
Nanomedicine is a way for the treatment of the several types of cancers.
In the present study, gold nanoparticles were green-synthesized using
the aqueous extract of Mangifera indica. The chemical characterization
was studied different techniques including FT-IR, UV-Vis, SEM and TEM.
The anti-human gastric cancer activity of AuNPs@Mangifera indica was
evaluated using MTT assay. The nanoparticles were formed in a spherical
shape with a size less than 100 nm for the particle size. The treated
cells with AuNPs@Mangifera indica were assessed by MTT assay about the
cytotoxicity and anti-human gastric cancer properties on normal (HUVEC)
and gastric cancer cell lines i.e. GC1415, GC1436, NCI-N87 and MKN45. In
the antioxidant test, the IC50 of AuNPs@Mangifera indica and BHT against
DPPH free radicals were 55 and 49 µg/mL, respectively. The viability of
malignant gastric cell lines reduced dose-dependently in the presence of
AuNPs@Mangifera indica. The IC50 of AuNPs@Mangifera indica were 212,
213, 250 and 328 µg/mL against GC1415, GC1436, NCI-N87 and MKN45 cell
lines, respectively.
