Evaluation of the anticancer and molecular effects of green synthesized silver nanoparticles
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)Globally, cancer is considered the second leading cause of death with a staggering tally of 10 million deaths. Breast, lung, colon, rectum and prostate cancers are amongst the most commonly diagnosed cancers. The current ... -
Green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Bulbine frutescens leaf extract and their antimicrobial effects
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Combating antimicrobial resistant infections caused by nosocomial pathogens poses a major public health problem globally. The widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of wound infections has led to ... -
Green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles from the cocktail of capparis sepiaria-tabernaemontana elegans extracts and assessment of their biological effects in vitro.
(University of the Western Cape, 2024)Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a global crisis that develops when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites adapt and multiply in the presence of drugs that once negatively affected them. AMR infections are commonly caused ... -
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Indian hawthorn (rhaphiolepis indica) and the investigation of their antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic effects
(University of Western Cape, 2024-01-08)The global health concern pertaining the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has led to a rise in mortality rate caused by infectious diseases that have become difficult to treat due to the misuse and lack ... -
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles and investigating their antimicrobial effects
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Water is essential for life, yet access to safe drinking water is still a major concern worldwide due to waterborne diseases. The current study proposes silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an antibacterial agent. Silver ...
