“…These exciting compounds can take part both in the reduction of platinum ions to Pt 0 and stabilization against agglomeration [ 23 , 79 , 80 , 81 ]. Flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, polysaccharides, proteins and enzymes can be represented as such agents ( Table 1 ) [ 35 , 73 , 74 , 78 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ]. The bio reduction pathway is heavily influenced by functional groups such as amine (–NH), alcohol (–OH), and carboxylic group (–COO).…”
