In Vitro Analysis: The Anticancer Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles from Cinnamomum Verum

Zinc oxide (ZnO) has a wide range of applications. Green synthesis is an alternative to traditional physical and chemical methods of synthesis. Green nanoparticle synthesis is gaining popularity due to its low cost, reduced use of toxic chemicals, and broad antitumor activity. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using different ways for synthesis and study the effect on different cancer cell lines. X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope analysis were used to assess the purity, particle size, and morphological structure of synthesized ZnONPs. However, because nanoparticles have a small crystallite size, they appear to have uneven structures, such as spongy and flower-shaped particles. The nanoparticles obtained have good anticancer activity. This research will lead to the development of a new method of cost-effective synthesis and the reduction of chemical usage in future studies.
