Abstract

Clerodendrum infortunatum extract was employed for the green synthesis of pure ZrO2 and Ag‑doped ZrO2 nanoparticles. The study aimed to evaluate their anticancer efficacy against AGS (human gastric adenocarcinoma) cells. The nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM, XPS, UV‑visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. Cytotoxicity assays (MTT) on AGS cells showed that both pure ZrO2 and Ag‑doped ZrO2, as well as the plant extract alone, induced cell death, with the doped sample exhibiting significantly stronger activity. Consequently, the biogenic nanoparticles qualify as promising anticancer agents for biomedical applications.
