		                        			ary   phytochemical   screening.   The   resultsshowed that the ethanolic crude extract of the leaf containhigh phytochemical activity hence B.oleraceavaracephalais rich in flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carbohydratesand phytosterols. Materials and methods: The ethanolic extract was used tosynthesise copper nanoparticles. The copper nanoparticleswere   successfully   synthesised   from   copper   sulphatesolution which was identified by the colour change fromdark green colour of the extract. Thus the B.oleracea varacephala   is   a   good   source   to   synthesis   coppernanoparticles. The synthesised copper nanoparticles werecharacterised using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)analysis.   The   SEM   image   displayed   the   high-densitynanoparticles   synthesised   by   leaf   extracts   and   that   thenanoparticles were crystals in shape. Results: The copper nanoparticles (CNP) bind to the leafextract. B.oleraceavaracephalaalso   has   shown   theantimicrobial and antioxidant activity. A comparative studywas   done   between   ethanolic   its   crude   extract   andnanoparticles. Both extracts exhibited zone of inhibition andbetter antioxidant potential but the CuNPs shows majorzone of inhibition and showed more antioxidant activity.Anticancer   activity   of B.oleraceavaracephalaagainstCervical HeLa cell line was confirmed using ethanolic crudeextract   and   CNP.   The   results   showed   that   HeLa   cellsproliferation was inhibited with increasing concentration ofethanolic crude extract and copper nanoparticles. From theresults, it was seen that percentage viability of the cancercells decreased with increased concentration of the sampleswhereas cytotoxicity against HeLa cell lines increased withthe increased concentration of the samples. Conclusion:   Thus B.oleraceavaracephalapossessesanticancer activity against HeLa cell lines.
