Effect of Reducing Agents Eugenol, Quercetin and Gallic Acid on the Size of Silver Nanoparticles and Investigation of Antimicrobial and Anticancer Effects of the Synthesized Nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles have shown promising biomedical applications based on their anticancer and antibacterial activities. Due to the inherent toxicity of silver nanoparticles, they have inhibitory effects against bacteria and cancer cells. Nanoparticle size is one of the factors affecting the properties of nanoparticles. In this study, the effect of reducing agents eugenol, quercetin and gallic acid on the size of silver nanoparticles was investigated. The results showed that the size of nanoparticles affects their antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity. Optimization of these properties using green synthesis methods using plant active ingredients, each of which has antibacterial and anticancer properties, provides a new approach to increase the cytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles on cancer cells and enhance the antibacterial properties.
