摘要

Objective

Urtica dioica, a well-known herbal remedy in traditional and modern medicine, has numerous therapeutic applications. In this specific research, we successfully synthesized Cunano particles using the aqueous extract of U. dioica through a green synthesis method to evaluate the anti-uterine cancer.

Method

Various techniques were utilized to identify the nanoparticles. A cell viability assay was conducted to evaluate the potential anti-uterine cancer properties of the synthesized nanoparticles.

Results

XRD and FE-SEM analysis revealed that the Cu NPs had a CuO formula with a spherical morphology measuring less than 50 nm. To assess the level of anti-uterine cancer activity of the nanoparticles, the cell viability test was carried out on HUVEC, CRL-1976, HTB-114, and CRL-1671 cell lines. Additionally, the antioxidant efficacy was assessed using the DPPH assay. The data indicated significant anti-uterine cancer and antioxidant properties of nanoparticles containing U. dioica. The IC50 of CuNPs was 51, 39, and35 μg/ml on CRL-1976, HTB-114, and CRL-1671 uterine cancer cells, respectively. Furthermore, CuNPs were able to inhibit 50% of DPPH at a concentration of 40 μg/mL.

Conclusion

The synthesized NPs showed acceptable anticancer activity against uterine cancer cell lines.
