Efficacy of green synthesized silver nanoparticles via ginger rhizome extract against Leishmania major in vitro.

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is a major public health problem that causes by parasite of the genus Leishmania. The pentavalent antimonial compounds that used for treatment are not safe or effective enough. The aim of the present study was preparation and evaluation of the efficacy of green synthesized silver nanoparticles against Leishmania major (L.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using and extracts: characterisation, cell cytotoxicity, and its antifungal activity against in comparison to fluconazole.

Fluconazole (FLZ) application as a highly successful commercial antifungal azole agent to treat the fungal infections is limited due to emergence of FLZ-resistant candida. In this study, the potential of green synthesised silver nanoparticles (NPs) as an antifungal agent against fungal pathogen is investigated. The extract of ginger () and thyme () plays as reducing agent, capping agent and antifungal agent.
