Phytofabricated Ag and ZnO Nanoparticles from Nonea lutea: Potent α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity and Multifunctional Biomedical and Environmental Applications

Phyto-synthesized silver-iron oxide nanoparticles from Traganum nudatum for antimicrobial and anticancer applications: experimental and computational insights

The rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of sustainable and eco-friendly nanomaterials. In this study, silver-iron oxide nanoparticles (Ag-FeO NPs) were phyto-synthesized using Traganum nudatum seed extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, and their physicochemical prope...

Phytochemical Fraction-Mediated Synthesis of Ag and ZnO Nanoparticles: Exploring Reactivity Limits and Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Properties

The common generalization of plant extracts as universal, nonspecific reducing agents in metal nanoparticle (NP) synthesis is re-examined. We provide evidence that green synthesis relies on selective reactions between specific phytochemicals and metal precursors. Silver (Ag) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were su...

Plant-mediated synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Rumex nepalensis extract and physicochemical characterization and biological applications

Phytochemical profiling-guided green synthesis and characterisation of silver nanoparticles using Catunaregam spinosa for biological applications

In this study, an aqueous extract of Catunaregam spinosa (C. spinosa) leaves and roots was used to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in an environmentally friendly manner. Visual observation of the color change in the reacting solution and measurement of surface plasmon resonance by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spec...

Multifunctional Bioactivity and Other Properties of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized in an Eco-Friendly Manner From Padina pavonica

Background: This study focuses on the bioactivity and other properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using the ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Padina pavonica—a brown alga rich in phytochemicals capable of reducing metal ions and boosting the biological activity of biogenic AgNPs. Methods: AgNPs were...
