Abstract
of 0.39 mg/mL and 0.78 mg/mL, respectively. In addition, the prepared ZnO nanoparticles showed toxicity against brine shrimp nauplii of LC₅₀ 16.59 μg/mL. The results of this study impart that plant-assisted synthesized ZnO nanoparticles possess significant antibacterial properties that reduce oxidative stress in human cells, ultimately contributing to cancer prevention.
