The current study is aimed to synthesize the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the green method by using the leaves of Loranthus pulverulentus Wall (LPW) which functioned as a reducing as well as capping agent. The synthesis of biogenic AgNPs was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis.

- Nanosized tin oxide was produced using a simple precipitation method and was thoroughly analyzed using various spectroscopic and microscopy techniques, confirming its orthorhombic structure and improved crystallinity upon annealing.
- The study found that the annealing temperature significantly influences particle size, band gap width, and photocatalytic activity, with the optimum temperature of 500 °C showing the best performance in degrading methylene blue dye.
- Antimicrobial tests demonstrated that tin oxide particles annealed at 500 °C effectively inhibited bacteria like E. coli and S. aureus, and molecular docking studies suggested strong interactions with enzymes involved in bacterial resistance mechanisms.
