Abstract

 

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using plant-based extracts has emerged as an environmentally friendly and sustainable method, gaining increasing interest in recent years. This review emphasizes the use of Terminalia mantaly in the biosynthesis of AgNPs, presenting it as an effective and eco-conscious approach to nanoparticle production. Rich in bioactive constituents such as flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols, Terminalia mantaly plays a dual role as both a reducing and stabilizing agent during nanoparticle formation. The article also discusses various analytical techniques employed to characterize these nanoparticles, including UV Visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, the review outlines the biological activities of AgNPs derived from Terminalia mantaly leaves, highlighting their antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and anticancer potential. The broader environmental and biomedical applications of these biologically synthesized nanoparticles are also explored. This sustainable synthesis method represents a promising alternative to traditional chemical techniques, offering eco-friendly production alongside multifunctional biological benefits.
