In the present study, the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using ethanol extract of Cymodoacea serrulata and biological activity were investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The results show that nanoparticles synthesized were confirmed by colour change from green to dark brown. The XRD analysis confirmed that the AgNPs were crystalline and found that their UV maximum absorbance specific was between 200 and 400 nm, and their FESEM size was between 60 and 69 nm. FTIR studies identified different functional groups involved in the potential capping of AgNPs. The anti-diabetic activity of the AgNPs was tested by the inhibition of carbohydrate digestive enzymes (a-glucosidase and amylase). In addition, it has exhibited potential anticancer activity against breast cancer cells (MDF7). Hence, the present results, eco-friendly, and efficient method in the synthesis of AgNPs that can act as an alternative biomaterial for biomedical applications.
