This study adopted an ultrasonic\u2010assisted technique to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles from\n                    <jats:italic>Pistacia khinjuk<\/jats:italic>\n                    leaf extract for biomedicine and dye degradation applications. The formation of biosynthesized nanoparticles was confirmed using various morphological techniques, including UV\u2010visible spectroscopy (peak at \u223c373\u00a0nm), x\u2010ray diffraction analysis (indicating a hexagonal phase), particle size analyzer (particle size of \u223c19\u00a0nm), and scanning electron microscopy (revealing an irregular shape). The maximum DPPH scavenging potential of ZnO nanoparticles at 100\u00a0\u00b5g\/mL concentration was 71.3%. The ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated selective toxicity towards the HeLa cells (cancer cell lines) rather than fibroblast cells (normal cell lines). The ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated a photocatalytic effect of 97.6% in 150\u00a0min under UV light irradiation, indicating their potential for environmental remediation.
