Background: (hemp) is a source of various biologically active compounds, for instance, cannabinoids, terpenes and phenolic compounds, which exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. With the purpose of expanding the auxiliary application of in the field of bio-nanotechnology, we explored the plant for green and efficient synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
Methods And Results: The nanoparticles were synthesized by utilizing an aqueous extract of stem separated into two different fractions (cortex and core [xylem part]) without any additional reducing, stabilizing and capping agents.
