Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized with Common Mullein (<i>Verbascum thapsus</i>) and Castor Bean (<i>Ricinus communis</i>) Ethanolic Extracts Displayed Antiproliferative Effects and Induced Caspase 3 Activity in Human HT29 and SW480 Cancer Cells

Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized with Common Mullein (<i>Verbascum thapsus</i>) and Castor Bean (<i>Ricinus communis</i>) Ethanolic Extracts Displayed Antiproliferative Effects and Induced Caspase 3 Activity in Human HT29 and SW480 Cancer Cells

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are promising nanomaterials exhibiting anti-cancer effects. Green AuNPs synthesis using plant extracts can be used to achieve stable and beneficial nanoparticles due to their content of bioactive compounds. This research aimed to synthesize and evaluate the antiproliferati...
