Abstract
An innovative process was utilized to synthesize tin oxide (SnO2), zinc-doped tin oxide (ZnSnO2), and copper-doped tin oxide (CuSnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) using the aqueous extract of Terminalia elliptica leaves through an eco-friendly, microwave-assisted green technique. The synthesized SnO2, ZnSnO2, and CuSnO2 NPs exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria strains such as K. pneumoniae, E. coli, S. dysenteriae, and P. aeruginosa. Their antioxidant and anticancer activities were evaluated by scavenging DPPH free radicals and testing against breast cancer cell lines. The ZnSnO2 NPs demonstrated higher antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities than SnO2 and CuSnO2 NPs, suggesting their potential pharmaceutical applications.
