Biogenic synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous extract of Lepidagathis cristata along with their antibacterial and antineoplastic activity to combat breast cancer cells (MCF-7).

Lepidagathis cristata (L. cristata) plant produces reducing and capping agents; this study utilized microwave-assisted biogenic synthesis to manufacture silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using this plant. The structure, morphology, and crystallinity phases of prepared nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-viz), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

3-Methyl-2-vinyl-pyridinium phosphate.

In the title salt, C8H10N(+)·H2PO4 (-), the cation is essentially planar (r.m.s.

(E)-2-({2-[(E)-(Hy-droxy-imino)-meth-yl]phen-oxy}meth-yl)-3-phenyl-acrylonitrile.

In the title compound, C(17)H(14)N(2)O(2), the hy-droxy-ethanimine group adopts an anti-periplanar conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains running along the c axis.
