In silico Prediction of Malvaviscus arboreus Metabolites and Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles – Opportunities for Safer Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Cancer Precision Medicine

Abstract: Biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) may be a feasible therapeutic option in the research and development towards selectively targeting specific cancers and microbial infections, lending a role in precision medicine. In-silico methods are a viable strategy to aid in drug discovery by identifying lead plant bioactive molecules for further wet lab and animal experiments. Methods: Green synthesis of M-AgNPs was performed using the aqueous extract from the Malvaviscus arboreus leaves, characterized using UV spect… Show more

“…In addition, the phytochemicals attached around the central metal nucleus may have active functional groups that are not exposed outwardly to allow biological interactions to take place, hence limiting the therapeutic activity of the Green-NPs ( Saptarshi, Duschl & Lopata, 2013 ). In support of this, we reported earlier that the functional groups might lend a role in repelling or attracting biological targets, which could be useful in precision medicine ( Mohammed et al, 2023b ), but concurrently, the lack of control over the specific phytochemicals and exposed functional groups around the surface of the NP may contribute to increasingly inactive NPs. Clumped NPs clearly would reduce biological reactivity due to the reduced surface area ratio, reducing the biological interaction interfaces.…”

“…It can effectively handle diverse datasets, capture nonlinear relationships, and make predictions [86] , [87] . By utilizing ML algorithms, researchers can consider multiple synthesis parameters and their interactions, enabling accurate predictions of AgNP properties based on given synthesis parameters, helping to guide and prioritize experimental efforts [88] . It becomes possible to explore virtually the effects of different synthesis conditions combinations without conducting numerous time-consuming and costly experiments [89] .…”

“…With the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, the need for alternative antimicrobial agents to replace the conventional ones enhanced researchers to develop AgNPs as one of the good options for microbial mitigation. Previous studies have approved the ability of AgNPs as antimicrobial agents with significant effects against some multidrug- resistant bacteria 12 , 17 , 18 . The unique and wide range of AgNPs applications are the factors that led to the development of various fabrication methods for efficient and safe usage 19 21 .…”
