Abstract
Bio-synthesis of Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) was achieved using Mentha piperita (Peppermint) aqueous leaf extract. Further the ecofriendly synthesized Pt NPs were subjected for various characterization techniques. The characterization results inferred that the green synthesized Pt NPs were said to be in average particle size of 54.3nm. The particles are in spherical shape and it has been entrapped with secondary metabolites (Polyphenols). The polyphenols capped Pt NPs were screened for cytotoxicity against human colon cancer cell line (HCT 116). The results inferred that the ecofriendly synthesized Pt NPs decrease the viability of cancer cells at lower concentrations with IC50 value of 20μg/mL.Entities:
