Biosynthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles mediated Annona muricata as cytotoxic and apoptosis inducer factor in breast cancer cell lines

Rana Mahmood et al.

Summary: This study investigated a simple bio-synthesis approach for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) and tested their anti-cancer effects. The results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells while having minimal effect on healthy cells. The nanoparticles were taken up by cancer cells, triggering apoptosis and increasing lactate dehydrogenase production. Therefore, the study suggests that the synthesized CuO NPs have anti-proliferative effects by inducing cell death.
