Abstract
Urinary stones are a biggest issue that people experience worldwide. Urinary tract infections that lead to struvite urinary stones are the result of improper organ function, particularly kidney. The present study concentrated on an economical and environmentally friendly method for producing copper nanoparticles utilizing Eclipta prostrata leaves extract as a reducing and capping agent. UV-Visible spectroscopy shows SPR band at 256 nm which was used to validate the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. According to FT-IR Spectroscopic investigations, phytoconstituents have a major role in the reduction and capping of copper nanoparticles. E. prostrata mediated copper nanoparticles were crystallized and had a spherical shape, according to XRD and SEM. The EDX analysis showed the elemental composition and the amount of copper nanoparticles. The copper nanoparticles mediated by E. prostrata were found to have an inhibitory efficiency of 88.3% showing that they were an effective inhibitor for the struvite crystals. According to FT-IR spectra the shifting of the band confirmed that the phytocomponents present in E. prostrata leaves extract is responsible for anti-urolithiatic activity.
