We report the environmental benign route in the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles
using the aqueous leaf broth of Acalypha indica L. In this protocol, the biomolecules
present in the leaf broth, reduced palladium ions into palladium nanoparticles and these
biomolecules also acted as capping and stabilizing agents. The colour change in the
reacti...

In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were green-synthesized from Acalypha indica leaf extract using zinc acetate as a precursor. The prepared ZnO nanoparticles were calcined at three different temperatures, namely 100, 300, and 600°C. The structure/morphology of the green-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles was ascertained through X-ray diffraction, particle...

... Water and ethanol extracts of A. indica have been used by many research groups to synthesize metal based particles including silver, gold, palladium, copper oxide, yttrium oxide, zinc oxide and zirconium dioxide nanoparticles; and chitosan-casein micro particles.

Acalypha indica is a significant medicinal plant. The purpose of this review is to bring traditional
usage, phytochemistry, and scientific applications of A.indica up to date. Microbial infections,
fertility, stomach ulcers, snake bites, pains, wounds, liver/kidney problems, and rheumatism
have all been traditionally treated with A.indica paste, decoction, sap, and synergy with other
plants/plant products, which have all been scientifically proven through in vitro and in vivo
experiments. Regardless of traditional knowledge, this plant extracts have been scientifically
proven to help against cancer, inflammation, cardiac damage, diabetes, TB, and malaria.
Phytochemical investigation revealed that A.indica has phenols, flavonoids, tannins, coumarins,
alkaloids and their glycosides, saponins, volatiles and fatty acids. In summary, the presence of
phytoconstituents is responsible for the A.indica traditional and pharmacological qualities.
Further, conformational clinical trails in humans are necessary to ascertain the extracts
efficacy. Extensive future studies are to be conducted to reveal the mechanism of action,
pharmacokinetic properties and active phythochemicals of A.indica extracts.
... In addition, it has been shown that the rate of nanoparticles synthesis is faster using plants than microbes through elimination of elaborate maintenance of cell cultures and the produced more stable metal nanoparticles [11,12] . Recently, we have attempted to synthesize the metal nanoparticles such as silver [13,14] , Gold [15] , Palladium [16,17] using plant extracts and they have a pivotal role in the production of good quality and quantity of nanoparticles within few hours [18,19] . Hence the present study aimed to compare the reducing ability of leaves of two different higher plants, Sebastiania chamaelea and and Rhynchosia minima to synthesize gold nanoparticles. ...

In this study, we report the comparison of the possible mechanism in the reducing ability of leaves of two higher plants, Sebastiania chamaelea and Rhynchosia minima in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. We collected leaves of aforesaid plants and prepared respective leaf broths, SLB and RLB separately. These leaf broths exposed to 1mM aqueous solution of gold chloride and they are known as respective reaction media SRM and RRM. They were kept in an incubator cum shaker with 250rpm at 27 0 C for 24 hours. The SLB and RLB are pale yellow in colour before incubation and they slowly turned to ruby-red in colour within 24hrs of incubation. It indicates the formation of gold nanoparticles. UV-visible spectroscopic analysis reveals the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) vibrations of gold nanoparticles that are synthesized in SRM and RRM, which have λ max at 575nm and 530nm respectively. FTIR analysis explains that the biomolecules in the leaf broth are responsible for the synthesis and stability of gold nanoparticles. The XRD analysis helps to calculate the approximate size of the metal nanoparticles. The EDX analysis confirms the presence of elemental gold. The SEM and TEM analyses reveal the size of the synthesized gold nanoparticles using Sebastiania chamaelea and Rhynchosia minima were ranged from 30 to 50nm. This protocol brings a green route as it does not involve any toxic chemicals and physical processes and we compared the possible mechanism in the reducing ability of leaves of aforesaid two higher plants.
