(a) In-vitro antioxidant activity of SP extracts and their corresponding bio-fabricated nanoparticles against DPPH radicals, (b) ABTS assay. Data are presented as mean ± standard error (SE) from three independent experiments (n = 3). (c) Anticancer activity of SP extracts and their Fe and Zn nanoparticle formulations against A-431 human epidermoid skin carcinoma cells. Data are represented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) with three replicates per group. (d) Microscopic assessment of the morphological changes in A-431 cells treated with SP extracts and their Fe2O3 and ZnO NPs for 72 h, (A) 0.1 µg/ml, (B) 10 µg/ml, (C) 1000 µg/ml.
