Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on creating Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from A. modesta leaves extract using a cost-effective method, and the nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized using various techniques like UV-Vis Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.
  • - Characterization revealed the hexagonal structure of ZnO NPs with an average size of 68.3 nm and a band gap of 2.71 eV, along with notable shapes and elemental composition shown in SEM and EDX analyses.
  • - The synthesized ZnO NPs demonstrated significant biomedical potential, with high antileishmanial (68%), anti-inflammatory (78%), and antibacterial activities, suggesting their promising applications in healthcare and environmental settings.
