Calligonum polygonoides reduced nanosilver: A new generation of nanoproduct for medical applications

Enhancing antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antialzheimer performance ofHippeastrum hybridum(L.) using silver nanoparticles

“…It is concluded from the pH study that AgNPs synthesis is supported by basic conditions while suppressed by acid conditions. [7,55] Medicinal plants are a rich source of secondary metabolites that act as reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents for NPs. However, the composition of these active secondary metabolites varies from plant to plant depending on the nature, part, type of plant, and method followed for the extraction of these metabolites.…”

“…Thus, from the present results, it is revealed that an optimum temperature is required for AgNPs due to their instability. [7,61,62] The quality, size, shape, and type of NPs are greatly influenced by incubated reaction time. [63] For the complete reaction of silver ions with active molecules in plant extract, an optimum time is also required.…”

“…[4] The importance of NPs science directly depends on the nanosize of NPs. Because of the sizes, these particles have made them important in many fields such as medicine, food industries, agriculture, wound dressing, chronic ulcers, and oxide fuel batteries for energy storage, cosmetics, and garments [5,6] : nowadays metallic NPs of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), titanium (Ti), magnesium (Mg), gold (Au), etc.. [7][8][9][10] The Ag ions have powerful inhibitory effects and are called permanent inhibitors against pathogenic organisms. [11] AgNPs are attracted by many scientists as compared to other NPs.…”

“…AgNPs have been used for many purposes like surgical, wound care products, antioxidants, antidiabetic, and anticholinesterase. [7,12] AgNPs have unique cellular interaction with the reactivity of O 2 species and showed closer inhibition to the standard drug ascorbic acid. [13] In an experimental study using aqueous extracts of Myrtus communis as a reducer in NPs biosynthesis, it was shown that the obtained AgNPs can neutralize free radicals.…”

“…These compounds play a crucial role to evaluate the synthesis of metal-based NPs. [7,23] The production of AgNPs was suggested that phytochemicals in plants participate directly in the reduction of the ions and synthesis of AgNPs. [24] Green synthesis of AgNPs using Cordia dichotoma fruit extract possessed enhanced antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and photocatalytic.…”
