An eco-friendly method of synthesizing gold nanoparticles using an otherwise worthless weed pistia (Pistia stratiotes L.)

A biomimetic method of gold nanoparticles synthesis utilizing the highly invasive aquatic weed pistia (Pistia stratiotes) is presented. In an attempt to utilize the entire plant, the efficacy of the extracts of all its parts - aerial and submerged - was explored with different proportions of gold (III) solution in generating gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The progress of the synthesis, which occurr...

Evaluation of Anthelmintic Activity of Pistia stratiotes Linn.

The ethanolic extract of the plant Pistia stratiotes (Araceae) was investigated for activity against Indian earthworms Pheretima posthuma and nematode Ascardi galli. Various concentrations (10, 20, 50 mg/ml) of ethanolic extract were tested, which involved determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. It was compared with Piperazine citrate (15 mg/ml) and Albendazole (20 mg...

Role of Pistia stratiotes on Radiation Induced Genotoxicity : Analysis of Micronucleus and Chromosome Aberrations in vivo

The present study aimed to examine the radioprotective potentiality and efficacy of Pistia stratiotes against damage induced by Co gamma radiation. Mice were exposed to 4 Gy Co gamma rays. MeOH extract (50 and 100 mg/kg body wt) was administered orally with irradiation. Bone marrow protection was evaluated by scoring the different types of individual aberrations, aberrant metaphases and micronu...
