Abstract

The utilisation of Tinospora cordifolia, commonly known as “Giloy,” extends beyond traditional medicinal practices, with a focus on exploring its potential in nanoparticle synthesis and applications. This botanical marvel, rich in bioactive compounds, has been extensively studied for its diverse pharmacological effects, including immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. However, its role in regulating lead toxicity has not been previously explored.
This article presents a comprehensive investigation into the synthesis of different nanoparticles of Tinospora cordifolia, including silver, copper, iron, zinc, and gold nanoparticles. The synthesis methods involve the plant extract and metal precursors, resulting in varied nanoparticle characteristics. The potential applications of these nanoparticles are explored, highlighting their catalytic degradation capabilities, antimicrobial, antifungal, and analgesic properties.
Specifically, the greenly synthesised copper nanoparticles exhibit notable catalytic degradation activity against hazardous dyes. Copper oxide nanoparticles display antimicrobial and antifungal activities, with promising effects against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as pathogenic fungi. Silver nanoparticles exhibit remarkable antibacterial and antifungal activities against multidrug-resistant strains and demonstrate inhibitory effects against Clamydomonas reinhardtii.
Moreover, the article delves into the potential of these nanoparticles for addressing lead toxicity. The study focuses on investigating how the aqueous extract from the stem and leaves of Tinospora cordifolia affects lead-induced haematological alterations, providing a novel perspective on the plant’s therapeutic applications.
