Description
The four Indian medicinal plants such as Tribulus lanuginosus L., Hygrophila auriculata, Aerva lanata and Myristica dactiloides were scrutinized for phytochemical and antioxidant enzymes. Further, three different (petroleum ether, chloroform & ethanol) solvent extracts of plant materials were tested for antimicrobial activity separately. Furthermore, biosynthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles from these plants was characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy, DLS, Zeta potential, SEM and XRD analysis and also studied their antimicrobial (well diffusion assay) and anticancer/cytotoxic (MTT assay) effects. Based on this investigation, I strongly recommended that these biosynthesized nanoparticles were highly potent for pharmaceutical applications in the future and it’s become an alternative antibiotic.
