A recent study conducted at the University of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, India, explored the potential use of palladium nanoparticles synthesized from Cannabis sativa leaf extract as a nanodrug against multi-drug resistant bacteria and A549 lung cancer cells. The researchers characterized the nanoparticles using various techniques and found that they exhibited antimicrobial activity against drug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella abony. Additionally, the nanoparticles showed cytotoxic effects on A549 lung cell lines. The study suggests that Cannabis sativa extract capped palladium nanoparticles could have a role in the clinical management of lung cancer cells and drug-resistant pathogens.
