Abstract
The current research aimed to study the green synthesis of silver oxide nanoparticles (AgONPs) using Rhynchosia capitata (RC) aqueous extract as a potent reducing and stabilizing agent. The obtained RC-AgONPs were characterized using UV, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, SEM, and EDX to investigate the morphology, size, and elemental composition. The size of the RC-AgONPs was found to be ~ 21.66 nm and an almost uniform distribution was executed by XRD analysis. In vitro studies were performed to reveal biological potential. The AgONPs exhibited efficient DPPH free radical scavenging potential (71.3%), reducing power (63.8 ± 1.77%), and total antioxidant capacity (88.5 ± 4.8%) to estimate their antioxidative power. Antibacterial and antifungal potentials were evaluated using the disc diffusion method against various bacterial and fungal strains, and the zones of inhibition (ZOI) were determined. A brine shrimp cytotoxicity assay was conducted to measure the cytotoxicity potential (LC50: 2.26 μg/mL). In addition, biocompatibility tests were performed to evaluate the biocompatible nature of RC-AgONPs using red blood cells, HEK, and VERO cell lines (< 200 μg/mL). An alpha-amylase inhibition assay was carried out with 67.6% inhibition. Moreover, In vitro, anticancer activity was performed against Hep-2 liver cancer cell lines, and an LC50 value of 45.94 μg/mL was achieved. Overall, the present study has demonstrated that the utilization of R. capitata extract for the biosynthesis of AgONPs offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and forthright alternative to traditional approaches for silver nanoparticle synthesis. The RC-AgONPs obtained exhibited significant bioactive properties, positioning them as promising candidates for diverse applications in the spheres of medicine and beyond.

Abstract
The 'sacred leaf' or "Hoja Santa" (Piper auritum Kunth) has a great value for Mexican culture and has gained popularity worldwide for its excellent properties from culinary to remedies. To contribute to its heritage, in this project we proposed the green synthesis of silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag2O NPs) using an extract of "Hoja Santa" (Piper auritum) as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized Ag2O NPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (plasmon located at 405 nm), X-ray diffraction (XRD) (particle size diameter of 10 nm), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (particle size diameter of 13.62 ± 4.61 nm), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) (functional groups from "Hoja Santa" attached to nanoparticles). Antioxidant capacity was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of NPs against a panel of clinically relevant bacterial strains, including both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella Enteritidis and Escherichia coli O157:H7), was over 90% at concentrations of 200 µg/mL. Additionally, we assessed the antibiofilm activity of the NPs against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (reaching 98% of biofilm destruction at 800 µg/mL), as biofilm formation plays a crucial role in bacterial resistance and chronic infections. Moreover, we investigated the impact of Ag2O NPs on immune cell viability, respiratory burst, and phagocytic activity to understand their effects on the immune system.

Abstract
In this study, synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out utilizing the red and green parts of the pistachio hulls then their several biological activities were investigated. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) activities of the AgNPs synthesized from red pistachio hulls extracts (PhR-AgNPs) and green pistachio hulls extracts (PhG-AgNPs) were investigated. The DPPH scavenging capability at 200 mg/L concentration of PhR-AgNPs was around 93.01% however PhG-AgNPs displayed 91.00%. The synthesized PhR-AgNPs and PhG-AgNPs acted on the E. coli plasmid DNA, causing its complete degradation and exhibiting effective chemical nuclease activity. Furthermore, PhR-AgNPs and PhG-AgNPs showed quite good antimicrobial activity against the studied strains with a range of the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of 8-16 mg/L. Moreover, it was observed that both pistachio hulls coated with AgNPs were highly effective in inhibiting the biofilm generation studied strains. Moreover, PhR-AgNP and PhG-AgNP displayed a completely inhibition effect on cellular viability of E. coli with 100% at 125 mg/L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an emergency need for the natural therapeutic agents to treat arious life threatening diseases such as cardio- vascular disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. Among these diseases, cancer is found to be the second life threatening disease; in this view the present study focused to synthesize the silver oxide nanoparticles (AgONPs) from endophytic fungus. METHODS The endophytic fungus was isolated from a medicinal tree Aegle marmelos (Vilva tree) and the potential strain was screened through antagonistic activity. The endophytic fungus was identified through microscopic (Lactophenol cotton blue staining and spore morphology in culture media) and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) 1, ITS 4 and 18S rRNA amplification. The endophyte was cultured for the synthesis of AgONPs and the synthesized NPs were characterized through UV- Vis, FT- IR, EDX, XRD and SEM. The synthesized AgONPs were determined for antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti- angiogenic activity. RESULTS About 35 pigmented endophytic fungi were isolated, screened for antagonistic activity against 12 pathogens and antioxidant activity through DPPH radical scavenging assay; among the isolates, FC36AY1 explored the highest activity and the strain FC36AY1 was identified as Aspergillus terreus. The AgONPs were synthesized from the strain FC36AY1 and characterized for its confirmation, functional groups, nanostructures with unit cell dimensions, size and shape, presence of elements through UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FT-IR, XRD, SEM with EDX analysis. The myco-generated AgONPs manifested their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties with maximum activity at minimum concentration. Moreover, the inhibition of angiogenesis by the AgONPs in Hen's Egg Test on the Chorio-Allantoic Membrane analysis were tested on the eggs of Chittagong breed evinced at significant bioactivity least concentration at 0.1 µg/mL. CONCLUSIONS Thus, the results of this study revealed that the fungal mediated AgONPs can be exploited as potential in biomedical applications.

Abstract
A thermo-sensitive methylcellulose (MC) hydrogel containing silver oxide nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared via one-pot synthesis in which a silver acetate precursor salt (CH3COOAg) induces a salt-out effect in the MC solution. The silver oxide NPs were synthesized in situ from Ag+ ions during the MC hydrogelation, and the residual CH3COO- ions decreased the gelation temperature of the MC solution through the salt-out effect. The gelation behavior of the MC solution varied according to the CH3COOAg content and was monitored. Also, the formation and structure of the silver oxide NPs in the MC hydrogel was confirmed. From the results, silver oxide NPs was successfully incorporated in MC hydrogels, simultaneously, acetate ion which was counter ion of Ag was affected gelation behavior of Ag. Finally, the antimicrobial activity and wound healing effect was examined using the shaking flask method and burn wound test, respectively. The MC hydrogel with silver oxide NPs showed excellent antimicrobial activity and burn wound healing. Therefore, this thermo-responsive MC hydrogel has great potential as an injectable hydrogel for wound regeneration.
