The cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity As-AgNPs were evaluated against MCF-7 cell lines and selected microbial pathogens, respectively.Results: The synthesized silver nanoparticles were crystalline in nature with a spherical shape. The average particle size was 5.6– 8.6 nm. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized As-AgNPs was evaluated against MCF-7 cell lines, and the As-AgNPs were found to be effective in inhibiting the multiplication of cancer cells. The As-AgNPs exhibited significant antimicrobial activity towards E. coli, K. pneumoniae and C. albicans. The MIC of the synthesized As-AgNPs was 7.80 μg/mL for E. coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella sp. WS50- and S. typhi; 15.60 μg/mL for S. typhimurium and S. aureus WS10, and 31.20 μg/mL for K. pneumoniae and S. aureus ATCC 43300-MRSA. In addition, MIC values of 15.60 μg/mL for C. albicans ATCC8436 and 31.20 μg/mL for C. krusei ATCC6258 were obtained.Conclusion: As asafoetida is a good traditional medicine, its involvement in the synthesis of AgNPs led the silver nanoparticles to exhibit good cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects.Keywords: asafoetida gum, AgNPs, antimicrobial, cytotoxicity, biomedical agentDevanesan SPonmurugan KAlSalhi MSAl-Dhabi NADove Medical Pressarticleasafoetida gumagnpsantimicrobialcytotoxicitybiomedical agentMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4351-4362 (2020)
