This study presents an environmentally friendly synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using the methanolic extract of Breynia nivosa. Initial phytochemical analysis of the extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, and tannins. Further characterization through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses identified a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including hydroquinone, stearic acid, neophytadiene, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z), methyl ester, and others. The addition of B. nivosa methanolic extract to an AgNO 3 solution resulted in a color change, confirming the green synthesis of Ag-NPs through the reduction of AgNO 3 , as made evident by ultraviolet−visible (UV−vis) spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis provided valuable insights into the crystal structure, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis visualized the predominantly spherical shape of the Ag-NPs. However, the zeta (ζ)-potential and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses confirmed the stability and nanoscale dimensions of the synthesized Ag-NPs. Meanwhile, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra exhibited peaks indicative of various functional groups, including carboxylic acids, phenols, alkanes, and isocyanates. These functional groups played a crucial role in both the reduction and capping processes of the Ag-NPs. The study further explored the antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and α-amylase inhibition activities of the Ag-NPs of the B. nivosa extract, demonstrating their potential for biomedical and therapeutic applications. In conclusion, this environmentally sustainable synthesis of Ag-NPs from the B. nivosa extract, enriched with bioactive secondary metabolites detected through HPLC and GC-MS analysis, holds promise for diverse applications in the burgeoning field of green nanotechnology.

“…[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Furthermore, regarding the phytochemicals in the aqueous extract, Naphthalene, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, and Pentadecanoic acid exhibited anticancer effect; Tetradecanoic acid exhibited antimicrobial effect; 1,5-Heptadiyne, 2-Pentadecanone 6,10,14-trimethyl, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 9-Octadecenoic acid, 1-Octadecene, 1-Hexadecanol, 1-Hexadecanol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl exhibited antioxidant effect; 1-Tetradecanol and Cyclohexaneethanol exhibited anti-inflammatory effect; Cyclohexadecane exhibited antimicrobial effect; Heptadecanoic acid exhibited anticancer effect. 16,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] According to the findings of the current study, the phytochemical characterization of B. alba extracts revealed the therapeutic potential of the plant extracts especially due to the antioxidants property of some of the phytochemical constituents. The aqueous extract particularly revealed more phytochemical compounds with prominent antioxidant effect which would invariably attribute more therapeutic value on the extract.…”

Water stress, a main factor, exerts influence on the physiological and phytochemical responses of plants. Therefore, to scrutinize the physiological and biochemical reactions of Scrophularia striata under drought stress, a factorial experiment was conducted employing a completely randomized design with three replications plants were subjected to varying concentrations of salicylic acid (0 and 100 PPM), silicon (0 and 1 g/L), and drought stress at two levels (50 and 100% of field capacity) within greenhouse conditions. Data analysis results revealed that drought stress leads to an increase in Ca⁺² and Na⁺ levels in Ilam ecotype under the FC50% treatment. Additionally, Mg⁺² levels in Ilam ecotype, under the control × SA treatment, exhibit an augmentation in comparison to the stress treatment. The application of silicon resulted in an elevation of potassium in Abadanan ecotype under the FC50% treatment. Simultaneous utilization of SA and Si would demonstrate an increased K⁺/Na⁺ ratio in Ilam ecotype within the control × SA × Si treatment. Nitrate levels exhibit an increase in Ilam ecotype under the FC50% × SA × Si treatment. The analysis of amino acid compounds in the tested samples showed that drought stress increased Tryptophan in Ilam ecotype in the FC50% treatment, using SA increased Tryptophan, Phenylalanine and using Si increased Argenine and Valine. 45volatile compounds were identified for the first time in the stem of S. striata by technique (GC-MS). In general, the results the simultaneous use of these two compounds can play an effective role in modulating drought stress in S. striata.
