Green synthesis leverages biological resources such as plant extracts to produce cost-effectively and environmentally friendly NPs. In our study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are biosynthesized using blank roasted grams ( Cicer arietinum ) as reducing agents. CA-AgNPs were characterized by a characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 224 nm in the UV–Vis spectrum. FTIR analysis revealed functional groups with O–H stretching at 3410 cm −1 , C–H stretching at 2922 cm −1 , and C=O stretching at 1635 cm −1 . XRD patterns exhibited sharp peaks at 33.2°, 38.4°, 55.7°, and 66.6°, confirming high crystallinity. Morphological analysis through FESEM indicated spherical CA-AgNPs averaging 500 nm in size, with EDS revealing Ag at 97.51% by weight. Antimicrobial assays showed zones of inhibition of 14 mm against Candida albicans , 18 mm against Escherichia coli. , and 12 mm against Propionibacterium acnes . The total phenolic content of CA-AgNPs was 26.17 ± 13.54 mg GAE/g, significantly higher than the 11.85 ± 9.57 mg GAE/g in CA extract. The ABTS assay confirmed the antioxidant potential with a lower IC 50 value of 1.73 ± 0.41 µg/mL, indicating enhanced radical scavenging activity. Anti-melanogenesis was validated through tyrosinase, showing inhibition rates of 97.97% at the highest concentrations. The anti-inflammatory was evaluated by western blot, which showed decreased expression of iNOS and COX-2. This study demonstrates the green synthesis of CA-AgNPs and its potential biomedical applications. The results of this study demonstrate that biosynthesized CA-AgNPs have key biological applications.

This comprehensive review explores the emergence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) as versatile nanomaterials, particularly exploring their biogenic synthesis methods through different biological entities such as plants, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae. These biological entities provide eco-friendly, cost-effective, biocompatible, and rapid methods for TiO2-NP synthesis to overcome the disadvantages of traditional approaches. TiO2-NPs have distinctive properties, including high surface area, stability, UV protection, and photocatalytic activity, which enable diverse applications. Through detailed analysis, this review demonstrates significant applications of green fabricated TiO2-NPs in biomedicine, explicitly highlighting their antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities, along with applications in targeted drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, and theragnostic cancer treatment. Additionally, the review underscores their pivotal significance in biosensors, bioimaging, and agricultural applications such as nanopesticides and nanofertilizers. Also, this review proves valuable incorporation of TiO2-NPs in the treatment of contaminated soil and water with various environmental contaminants such as dyes, heavy metals, radionuclides, agricultural effluents, and pathogens. These comprehensive findings establish the foundation for future innovations in nanotechnology, underscoring the importance of further investigating bio-based synthetic approaches and bioactivity mechanisms to enhance their efficacy and safety across healthcare, agricultural, and environmental applications.
