MTT Assay:
MTT assay was performed to determine the cytotoxic
property of synthesized silver nanoparticles against
A-431 cell lines. It is a colorimetric assay that
measures the purple formazan product produced by
the reduction of yellow 3-(4, 5dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,
5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) by
mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase. The effect of
green synthesized silver nanoparticles on the viability
of cancerous cell was determined using 6.25, 12.5,
25, 50 and 100 g/ml concentrations. The exposure
time of silver nanoparticles in the experiment was 24
hours. The silver nanoparticles were reduced viability
of the A431 cells in a dose dependent manner as
shown in figure. The result obtained shown the IC50
at 47.5g/ml.

CONCLUSION
The present study suggest that silver nanoparticles
have free radical scavenging activity against DPPH,
nitric oxide and hydrogen per oxide radicals also it
have reducing power, so silver nanoparticles from
Aegle marmelos leaf extract is explored for its
applications in the prevention of free radical related
diseases.
Also the green synthesized silver
nanoparticles exhibit cytotoxicity against A-431 cell
lines, further it may used effectively in treatment of
squamous skin cell carcinomas. In coming future an
investigation of mechanism of cytotoxic activity will
required to be done for efficient use.
