Sage and thyme-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticle synthesis and its biomedical applications

This study focuses on the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using sage and thyme extracts as green reducing agents. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Furthermore, the biomedical applications of the synthesized nanoparticles were investigated, including their antibacterial activity against various pathogenic bacteria and their potential as a drug delivery system. The results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles had significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The nanoparticles also exhibited strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, indicating their potential for use in various biomedical applications. Overall, the study suggests that sage and thyme-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles have promising antimicrobial, cytotoxicity activity, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, and could serve as potential candidates for the development of novel therapeutic agents.
