biostudies-literatureUnknown9Salunke GR<h4>Background</h4>Nanoparticles (NPs) have gained significance in medical fields due to their high surface-area-to-volume ratio. In this study, we synthesized NPs from a medicinally important plant - Plumbago zeylanica.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Aqueous root extract of P. zeylanica (PZRE) was analyzed for the presence of flavonoids, sugars, and organic acids using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), gas chromatography-time of flight-mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS), and biochemical methods. The silver NPs (AgNPs), gold NPs (AuNPs), and bimetallic NPs (AgAuNPs) were synthesized from root extract and characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scatterInternational journal of nanomedicine2635-53https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4043712biostudies-literatureRapid efficient synthesis and characterization of silver, gold, and bimetallic nanoparticles from the medicinal plant Plumbago zeylanica and their application in biofilm control.PMC4043712Ghosh SChopade SChopade BAPruthi VSalunke GRKale TSantosh Kumar RJKhade SKundu GVashisth PBellare JRfalseRapid efficient synthesis and characterization of silver, gold, and bimetallic nanoparticles from the medicinal plant Plumbago zeylanica and their application in biofilm control.<h4>Background</h4>Nanoparticles (NPs) have gained significance in medical fields due to their high surface-area-to-volume ratio.
