Abstract

There has been a developing interest in the green-mediated synthesis of metal nanorods (NRs), especially from plants. However, there is no published report on the synthesis of ZnO NRs prepared via Cyrtrandroemia nicobarica leaf extract. The formation of ZnO NRs was confirmed by using x-ray diffraction, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, scanning electron microscope-energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The result revealed that the acquired ZnO NRs contain a unique surface area and excellent particle size. The photocatalytic and antioxidant activities of ZnO NRs were also evaluated in this study. The toxic nature of the obtained ZnO NRs was analyzed using the Daniorerio model, and the results showed that it was nontoxic. The anticancer activity of ZnO NRs was also analyzed using a human lung cancer cell line (A549), and excellent results were observed about the cancer cell death pathway. Hence, it was confirmed that the acquired ZnO NRs were nontoxic and had magnificent antibacterial and antioxidant activities. They can be used as an anticancer drug for health-care implementations.
