Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim::To synthesize silver nanoparticles using Leucas aspera leaf extract and evaluate their characterization and antifungal activity.
Introduction:Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts is an eco-friendly alternative to chemical methods. Leucas aspera contains bioactive compounds that facilitate nanoparticle formation and stabilization.
Materials and Methods:Leaf extract was prepared and mixed with silver nitrate solution. Formation of nanoparticles was confirmed by color change and characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Antifungal activity was tested against fungal strains using agar well diffusion.
Results and Discussion:Silver nanoparticles showed characteristic absorption peaks and demonstrated significant antifungal activity. The results indicate enhanced bioactivity due to nanoscale properties and phytochemical capping.
Conclusion:Green-synthesized silver nanoparticles from Leucas aspera show promising antifungal potential and biomedical applications...
