Abstract

Extracts from cauliflower leaves were used to biosynthesize metal oxide nanoparticles. Copper and cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CuO and CdO) are among the most important metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) because of their physiochemical and anticancer characteristics, which aid in molecular diagnostics and therapy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron (FE-SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the physiochemical characteristics of copper and cadmium oxides. One promising option for creating a novel class of anti-cancer drugs is metal oxide nanoparticles. Because of their small size, metal nanoparticles and their oxides have biological activity; they may approach, interact with, and come into touch with bio-objects. Copper oxide and cadmium oxide nanoparticles’ bioactivity against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was examined in this study, and the results indicated that the copper oxide nanoparticles’ activity was higher than the cadmium oxides
