The current study demonstrates the synthesis of fatty acids (FAs) capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous poly-herbal drug Liv52 extract (PLE) as a reducing, dispersing and stabilizing agent. The NPs were characterized by various techniques and used to investigate their potent antibacterial, antibiofilm, antifungal and anticancer activities. GC-MS analysis of PLE shows a total of 37 peaks for a variety of bio-actives compounds.

Fatty acids-assisted superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-FeO) NPs was biologically synthesized using extract of polyherbal drug Liv52 (L52E). The NPs were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD and VSM. The major biological molecules present in L52E analysed by GC-MS were saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid 21.

Present study, report the biofabrication of zinc oxide nanoparticles from aqueous leaf extract of (MaZnO-NPs) through solution combustion method and their novel application in preventing the growth of seed-borne fungal pathogens of soybean ( and ). The standard blotter method was employed to isolate fungi and was identified through molecular techniques. The characterization of MaZnO-NPs was carried out by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).

Synthesis of nanoparticles using the plants has several advantages over other methods due to the environmentally friendly nature of plants. Besides being environmentally friendly, the synthesis of nanoparticles using plants or parts of the plants is also cost effective. The present study focuses on the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using the seed extract of and their effect on to the quorum-mediated virulence factors of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of at sub minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

Plant-based synthesis of eco-friendly nanoparticles has widespread applications in many fields, including medicine. Biofilm-a shield for pathogenic microorganisms-once formed, is difficult to destroy with antibiotics, making the pathogen resistant. Here, we synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the stem of an Ayurvedic medicinal plant, , and studied the action of AuNPs against PAO1 biofilm.

plant extract mediated propellant chemistry route was used for the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Prepared samples were confirmed for their nano regime using advanced characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction and microscopic techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The energy band gap of the green synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO)-nanoparticles (NPs) were found between 3.
