Abstract
The objective of this review give an overview of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Catharanthus roseus, Antibacterial activity from 2013 to 2023. The decade data of the research papers provides a compilation of the significance and activity of silver ions that has been synthesized from C. roseus. This plant, which is widely accessible, has antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antibiotic, and cancer-prevention qualities. By using an aqueous leaf extract from Vinca rosea to reduce the silver ions in a silver nitrate solution, silver nanoparticles were synthesized. Spectroscopic tests demonstrated that these plant extracts function as a reducing agent to efficiently create silver nanoparticles, and the antibacterial efficacy was validated by the use of several antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogenic species. Further, mechanistic insights into the antibacterial activity were highlighted. The activity may be related to the various ways that NPs and surface-functionalized phytoconstituents function.
