Biosynthesis of Copper Nanoparticles using an Extract of the root of Asparagus racemosus: Basic Synthesis, Antimicrobial, and Anti-oxidant Potentials

Abstract

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have emerged as a promising alternative due to their unique antimicrobial properties. The synthesis of CuNPs using Asparagus racemosus, commonly known as Shatavari, offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to producing nanomaterials. Moreover, the resulting CuNPs have been found to possess excellent antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, which further expands their potential applications in medicine and environmental remediation. In this article, we discussed the in vitro characterization of the CuNPs. In vitro studies revealed that CuNPs have the potential for biomedical applications and as a base nanomaterial for the construction of drug delivery and targeting vehicles.
