Preparation and identification of nanomaterial from myrtle and its use in treating lung cancer

Myrtle leaves are considered one of the most promising industrial food wastes as dietary fibers in food products. They also contain aromatic oils with health benefits that are used to treat many diseases that affect the human body.1. In this study, a new nanomaterial was prepared and characterized by the sol-gel method from inexpensive and environmentally friendly primary plant sources (Leaves of Myrtus) with zinc oxide, Diagnosis of the nanomaterial prepared by the sol-gel method using several techniques, namely FTIR, EDX, XRD, and XRF, Using the nanomaterial prepared by the sol-gel method in treating lung cancer, as the results showed that it has a high killing rate ranging from 69-82%, respectively, of cancer cells after 48 hours, while low concentrations (50) micrograms/ml or less have a percentage Toxic effect less than 50%.
