The present study investigates the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out using a leaf extract of
Anoectochilus elatus (
Ae-AgNPs). The synthesised
Ae-AgNPs were characterised using different analytical techniques like UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Additionally, in vitro activities were investigated, and they possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties. The UV-Vis spectra exhibited characteristic absorption peaks at approximately 480 nm. FTIR identified functional groups of the
Ae-AgNPs. The crystalline structure of the
Ae-AgNPs was verified via XRD analysis. SEM studies revealed that the nanoparticles exhibited a spherical morphology. The fabrication of
Ae-AgNPs was established by the EDX spectrum, which exhibited prominent signals of silver atoms. The
Ae-AgNPs show potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic activity compared to standard drugs. In addition,
Ae-AgNPs demonstrated the most significant zone of Inhibition. This study affirms the superior biological capability of
Ae-AgNPs for target drug delivery and their potential for usage in biomedical research and therapeutics.
