Asparagus racemosus mediated Green Synthesis of Polymer-Coated Silver Nanoparticles: Insights into Biomedical Efficacy

This study highlights the eco-friendly synthesis of polymer-encapsulated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Asparagus racemosus extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. This approach provides a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional chemical methods, minimizing the use of toxic reagents and promoting green nanotechnology. This biogenic synthesis approach reduces environmental impact and leverages the therapeutic properties of Asparagus racemosus, known for its medicinal benefits. The synthesized AgNPs were encapsulated in a polymer matrix to improve stability and enable controlled release, enhancing their suitability for biomedical use. Characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD and TEM confirmed their successful formation, consistent morphology and nanoscale dimensions. The polymer-encapsulated AgNPs demonstrated strong antimicrobial effects against various pathogenic bacteria, indicating broad-spectrum potential. This green synthesis approach not only ensures sustainable NPs production but also underscores the potential of these AgNPs as dual-functional agents for antioxidant and antimicrobial therapy. The findings suggest that Asparagus racemosus-mediated AgNPs could be developed into effective therapeutic agents with lower environmental impact and improved biomedical performance.
