Saussurea costus extract as bio mediator in synthesis iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and their antimicrobial ability.

Saussurea costus is from medicinal plants and have therapeutic properties that were recorded in a variety of medical functions. The usage of biomaterials in the synthesis of nanoparticles is an essential strategy in green nanotechnology. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were composed in the stage of (2:1, FeCl2: FeCl3) solution by using the aqueous extract of Saussurea costus peel in an eco-friendly method to evaluate their antimicrobial property.

Antioxidant, cytotoxic and antibacterial potential of biosynthesized nanoparticles using bee honey from two different floral sources in Saudi Arabia.

Nowadays, the innovative study of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is excessive since they have incredible biomedical applications. The current study aimed to find out the potential of honey from two different floral sources ( and ) as biogenic mediators to synthesize AgNPs and to evaluate their antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial abilities. Biogenic AgNPs were studied for particle characterizations and the expected biomolecules helped in the reduction process of silver (Ag) ions to AgNPs.
