“…The distinct peaks observed from the calyx extract of A. esculentus (Fig. 1B) are 3419 cm −1 , corresponding to O-H stretching vibration, which indicates the presence of alcohol, 2921 cm −1 to C-H stretching of an aromatic compound, 2360 cm −1 to O-H stretching for carboxylic acid, 1647 cm −1 to C-C vibration and 1558 cm −1 to N-H stretching vibration present as the stabilizing and capping agents, as reported in a previous study (Kurian et al, 2022). The peak at 1384 cm −1 is attributed to C-O group, denoting carbonyl groups.…”

In recent years, technology pertaining to nanobiomaterials has taken rapid strides, with the development of novel materials having unique properties. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained attention among these materials due to their high chemical stability, surface-to-volume ratio, and strong antimicrobial activity. The traditional method for synthesizing AgNPs involves toxic chemicals, which can have negative environmental impacts and pose health risks. Hence, there is a growing need for green synthesis methods for AgNPs that are environmentally friendly and safe for animal and human health. In this study, we explore the green synthesis of AgNPs using calyx fromAbelmoschus esculentus, also known as okra, as an anthelmintic.Raillietinaspp. is a common poultry parasite causing significant economic losses to the livestock industry. It is a major cause of ailment and mortality in livestock, deterring the host health. While chemical-based anthelmintic drugs are available, the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant parasite strains has made searching for new and effective treatments imperative. Although ethnomedicine has been promising for treating various diseases, including parasitic infections, nanoparticles have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional anthelmintic curative development. Our study aims at investigating the recent advances in nanomedicine, particularly AgNPs, as anthelmintic agents, which has shown remarkable alterations in the levels of tegumental enzymes, eventually leading to their paralysis and death. We discuss the mechanisms of action of AgNPs againstRaillietinaspp. and highlight the potential benefits of using biosynthesized curatives that interfere with the host-parasite interface to treat parasite-related disorders.

“…The use of medicinal plants in the bio-fabrication of nanoparticles increases the medicinal value of the nanoparticles. Green synthesized nanoparticles are extensively studied for their photocatalytic, antimicrobial, anticancerous and antioxidant properties [3]. The tremendous changes happening in the global scenario generate hazardous threats to the health of both nature and humans.…”

“…The employment of nanoparticles in the photocatalysis process has come under scrutiny recently due to benefits such as their superior macroscopic-scale properties, high surfacevolume ratio and high surface energy. Recent studies on the biogenic nanoparticles have demonstrated that green synthesized metal oxide nanoparticles can effectively break down high molecular weight molecules and emerging pollutants without leaving harmful byproducts in the effluents [3,[7][8][9][10]. Recently, Batra et al [11] reported the review article on the efficient dye degradation strategies using green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.…”

The current study focused on the bioreduction synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Garcinia gummi-gutta leaf extracts. The UV-vis analysis of the nanoparticles has reported the formation of an SPR peak at 379 nm. The functional groups taking part in the reduction reaction were analyzed using the FTIR technique and the average crystalline size of ZnO nanoparticles were found to be 22.27 nm from XRD measurements. The SEM and TEM images revealed the hexagonal shape of the nanoparticles with an average size 72.78 nm and 71.91 nm, respectively. Further, the synthesized nanoparticles were reported to be efficient degradation reactive textile dyes. The photodegradation results reported 92-100% degradation of the reactive dyes within 80-320 min. The antibacterial efficacy of the nanoparticles was investigated and the MIC of the nanoparticles was found to be 100 µg/mL. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles have exhibited significant cytotoxic effects on the MCF and HEP-G2 cell lines.

“…The synthesis of silver nanoparticles by physical and chemical routes poses serious problems like high capital investment, usage of hazardous chemicals, high temperature and pressure, and toxic solvents [16][17][18] advantageous in resource availability, security, reaction rate and convenience, and feasibility of large-scale synthesis [19][20][21][22] . The phytochemicals present in plant extracts have been reported to cause the reduction of metal ions to nanoparticles and eventually obliterate the use of toxic chemicals, high pressure, temperature, energy and maintenance of microbial cultures [23][24][25][26][27] . Various plant materials, such as leaf extracts, fruit, bark, fruit peels, root and callus, have been explored to synthesize NPs in different sizes and shapes 28 .…”

Over the past few decades, the green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained importance for their therapeutic efficacy and eco-friendly nature. Integrating green chemistry principles into multidisciplinary nanoscience research has paved the way for developing environmentally benign and sustainable methods for synthesizing gold and silver nanoparticles. In the present study, the flowers obtained fromClerodendrum infortunatum(L.), belonging to the family Verbenaceae, have been used for biosynthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to evaluate the anthelmintic potential. UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR and TEM analyses were performed to ascertain the formation of AgNPs. Clerodendrum-derived AgNP (CLE-AgNP) has significantly affected the normal physiological functions of the poultry parasiteRaillietinaspp., a menace to the livestock industry. Our study manifests that CLE-AgNPs cause considerable distortion of the surface tegument of this cestode parasite leading to changes in the host-parasite interface. The histochemical localization studies of the tegument-associated enzymes viz. AcPase, AlkPase, ATPase and 5'-Nu, exposed to the drug, showed a substantial activity decline, thus establishing the anthelmintic potential of the CLE-AgNPs.
