The aqueous cashew leaves extract obtained was investigated for the preparation of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs). The obtained AuNPs were characterized by UV–Visible spectroscopy, FTIR and XRD analysis. Results indicated that the green synthesized AuNPs showed good antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis and exhibited 74.47% viability on PBMC and 23.56% viability on MCF-7 cell lines at a maximum concentration of 100 µg/ml. Therefore, future studies on antibacterial application in food packing, wound dressing and antihelmintic applications will be studied.
