Abstract
Ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) of different sizes prepared using leaf extracts of fishtail fern ( Nephrole-pis biserrata ), sago palm ( Cycas revoluta ), rosy periwinkle ( Catharanthus roseus ) and holy basil ( Oci-mum tenuiflorum ) in methanol exhibited pronounced antifungal (against Aspergillus flavus ) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, SO, OH). The synthesized Ru NPs were characterized using FTIR, UV-visible spectra, fluorescence and XRD. A tentative synthetic mechanism of NPs has been hypothesized via redox mechanism. A correlation between size of nano-particles and plant groups has also been established.
