in the present study, a simple, efficient and fast synthetic strategy was reported for the green biosynthesis of silver nanostructures (i.e. nanoroads and nanoparticles) by the extract of suaeda acuminata plant, without any catalyst, template or surfactant. aqueous extracts were obtained by maceration and microwave assisted extraction (mae) methods. in mae procedure, the effect of microwave pow...

nowadays, green chemistry and its advantages are generating interest of researchers toward ecofriendly biosynthesis of the metallic nanoparticles. in this research, a rapid, simple and green method was developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of prangos ferulaceae leaves. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv-vis spectroscopy, scanning el...

nanomaterials (nms) are widely used in health and biomedical applications, however, only a few studies investigate their toxic effects.  the present report signifies a contribution to the study of the toxic effects of silver nanoparticles (ag nps)  on   e. coli cells, which is a model organism of anthropogenic pollution. the toxicity of nanoparticles depends on their  chemical and surface prope...

recently, biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received attention due to an increasing need of developing rapid, simple and ecofriendly protocol. pathogenicity of some of the organisms and lengthy reaction are the drawbacks involved with biosynthesis. we describe a simple protocol for rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles through biological route using a marine-derived fungus aspergillus niger. ...

Tropane alkaloids such as scopolamine (C17H21NO4), atropine (C17H23NO3) and hyoscyamine (C17H23NO3) are the most important plant secondary metabolites in the pharmaceutical industry due to anticholinergic activity, competition with muscarinic receptors and also treating different human diseases. Scopolamine, hyoscyamine and atropine are the most important tropane alkaloids used as anticoagulant...

   In recent years, the world has witnessed an explosion of interest in biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), using plant extracts; however, the plant constituents involved in this reaction are poorly characterized. Here, major components of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) leaf extracts were isolated monthly during 2012-2013 and their competences for Ag–...
