Abstract

Moringa oleiferaalso known as Munga, Drum stick is a tropical tree are dominated in Indian subcontinent and the forests of Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and NepalThe leaves of Moringa oleiferacontain various bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and alkaloids, which have been reported to have antioxidant properties. These compounds can scavenge free radicals and prevent oxidative damage to cells, which is associated with various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Silvernanoparticles (AgNPs) are tiny particles of zinc oxide that range in size from 1 to 100 nanometres. Due to their small size and unique properties, AgNPs have many potential applications in various fields, such as electronics, optoelectronics, biomedicine, and environmental science. The AgNPs can effectively scavenge various types of free radicals, including superoxide, hydroxyl, and DPPH radicals. These nanoparticles have also exhibited significant reducing power, which is a measure of their ability to donate electrons and neutralize free radicals.In order to characterise the material, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used. An eco-friendly alternative with enormous promise is the biological process of producing high-yield, quick, and inexpensive silver nanostructures for potential medicinal applications.
