Objective: The main objective of the current research work was synthesized of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of Thevetia peruviana aqueous extract,characterization, and screening for urease enzyme inhibitory activity.Methods: AuNPs were synthesized by mixing 1 mM gold salt solution with T. peruviana aqueous extract without any reducing agents. The preparedAuNPs were characterized using UV–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Thesynthesized AuNPs were assessed for in vitro urease enzyme inhibitory activity at 0.2 μg in comparison with the aqueous extract.Results: In this finding, we synthesized the AuNPs of T. peruviana aqueous extract for the 1st time. The AuNPs exhibited significant stability atroom temperature. The AuNPs showed significant urease inhibitory activity with IC50 67.56±1.67 at 0.2 μg as compared to aqueous extract whichexhibited good activity with IC50 39.21±1.32 μ at 0.2 mg, against standard thiourea (IC50=21.00±1.16). The formation of AuNPs correlates due to activephytochemical present in extract which is responsible for synthesizing NPs.Conclusion: T. peruviana extract and prepared AuNPs are an outstanding urease enzyme inhibitor and are capable of making fine NPs. Application:The synthesized AuNPs of T. peruviana aqueous extract which significant urease inhibitory activity may allow us to discover NPs for potentiallyeffective and safe nanoherbal therapy.

Objective: The biogenic gold nanoparticles are considered to be extremely impressive for its wide range of applications in pharmaceutics and therapeutics. The present study was aimed at the biogenic synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from Marsilea quadrifolia aqueous extract and to investigate its antioxidant property and cytotoxic effect on human ovarian teratocarcinoma (PA-1) and lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cell lines.Methods: The biogenic AuNPs was synthesized using an aqueous extract of Marsilea quadrifolia. The synthesized biogenic AuNPs were characterized by ultraviolet (UV) visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The biogenic AuNPs was assessed for its stability over a period of time and antioxidant activity. The cytotoxicity of biogenic AuNPs against PA-1 and A549 cell lines was studied using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.Results: The synthesized biogenic AuNPs showed peculiar ruby red color and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 544 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum. The characterization of biogenic AuNPs by TEM, EDX and XRD revealed well dispersed spherical particles ranging from 10-40 nm and the presence of elemental gold and its crystalline nature, respectively. The AuNPs showed good stability and the scavenging activity at 50 μg/ml. The in vitro cytotoxicity of biogenic AuNPs against PA-1 and A549 cell lines recorded half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 45.88 μg/ml and 52.015 μg/ml, respectively.Conclusion: The biogenic AuNPs demonstrated superior antioxidant and antiproliferative activities against cancer cell lines.

In this study, green synthesis of gold nanoparticles were success fully synthesised by using <em>Adina cordifolia</em> plant bark aqueous extract which provides eco-friendly process, an environmentally benign, easy and proficient way for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. The smaller size of gold nanoparticles have research on various dieses are very important. The green synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM and their antimicrobial activity was investigated. From UV-Visible spectrophotometer result was confirmed the formation of gold nanoparticles by color changed to ruby red color from pale yellow color indicates the reduction of Au<sup>3+</sup> ions to Au<sup>o</sup>. The antibacterial activity for the synthesized gold nanoparticles was confirmed by the antibacterial activity experiment against <em>Bacillus subtilis </em>and <em>Escherichia coli</em> by agar well method. The synthesized AuNPs was performed anticancer activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Compared to Adriamycin, Positive Control Compound AuNPs exhibited potent anticancer activity with the IC<sub>50</sub>. The green synthesized gold nanoparticles proved to be potential candidates for medical application antimicrobial and anticancer activity is highly essential.
