The progress of nanoparticles production by eco-friendly route, with desirable chemical and physical characteristics, and
their application in helpful felds is still under investigation. Therefore, this study aimed at biosynthesis, characterization, and
biomedical applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using yeasts metabolite. The yeast strains, Pichia kudriavzeviiHANY2 and Saccharomyces uvarumHA-NY3, were used for extracellular biosynthesis of AgNPsK and AgNPsU, respectively.
AgNPs were characterized by UV–visible spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transformed
Infrared (FTIR) spectrum and dynamic light scatter (DLS). TEM image showed well dispersed round and cubic regular particles with size ranges of 12.4±6.02 nm for AgNPsU and 20.655±9.48 nm for AgNPsK. According to DLS analysis, the mean
size diameters of AgNPsU and AgNPsK were 20.3–21.5 and 29.6–30.14 nm, respectively. AgNPs showed highly signifcant
inhibitory activity against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213),
gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27953), Candida tropicalis ATCC750, and Fusarium oxysporium
NRC21. The anti-infammatory activity of AgNPs revealed that paw edema was inhibited by the oral administration of the
two biosynthesized silver-nanoparticles. In addition, they showed carrageenan activity nearest to indomethacin. All fabricated
AgNPs showed a signifcant analgesic efect after one hour of administration, which was comparable to aspirin. Further,
both AgNPsK and AgNPsU demonstrated a signifcant anticancer activity against HCT-116 (Colon cell line) with IC50
values 0.29, 0.24 µg ml−1, respectively, and PC3 (Prostate cell line) with IC50 values 0.57, 0.50 µg ml−1, respectively. No
ulcerogenic efects of AgNPs were detected on the rats’ stomach and it was safe on the gastric profle.
