Key Points

The aim is to explore the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties of chitosan-capped silver nanoparticles synthesized from Plantago major and Trifolium repens.
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Plantago major and Trifolium repens extracts through green synthesis.
Chitosan capping to enhance stability and reduce size of nanoparticles.
Evaluation of biological activities including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic assays.
Characterization of nanoparticles using UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, and FTIR.
Chitosan-capped silver nanoparticles showed up to ∼85% antioxidant scavenging activity in the hydrogen peroxide assay.
α-Amylase inhibition reflected moderate antidiabetic activity for Plantago major at up to 43.5%.
Significant antimicrobial activity was observed in a dose-dependent manner against bacterial and fungal strains.
