Design and characterization of Zn-integrated cellulose nanoparticle derived from sugarcane bagasse for biomedical applications
557.61 µg/ml) in the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Apart from this, bio-stimulant and favourable biocompatibility have been monitored in plant assays (250-2500 µg/ml) on Vigna radiata. These nanoparticles also revealed moderate broad-spectrum UV protection with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 13.54; CNP-Zn represents its good UV-protecting feature. These studies thus highlight the ability of agricultural waste-derived CNP-Zn as a sustainable nanomaterial for biomedical applications.
