Application potential of biogenically synthesized silver nanoparticles using Lythrum salicaria L. extracts as pharmaceuticals and catalysts for organic pollutant degradation.

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to evaluate the optimal conditions for the eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Lythrum salicaria L. (Lythraceae) aqueous extracts and their potential application and safe use. AgNPs synthesized using L. salicaria aerial parts (LSA-AgNPs) and root extract (LSR-AgNPs) were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used for the determination of the size distribution profiles of the obtained nanoparticles. Both L. salicaria extracts showed high phenolic content, while the flavone C-glucosides orientin, vitexin, and isovitexin were detected in extracts using HP
