Green synthesis and characterization of iron nanoparticles using Moringa oleifera (Leaves) and their phytochemical screening with biological significance

Abstract

This work has developed the biogenic production of FeNPs nanoflower from FeSO4 capped with Moringa oleifera (MO).The simple, economical, and environmentally beneficial FeNPs that were synthesized were described utilizing a variety of methods. The UV–visible spectroscopy investigation verified the change in visible colour that results in the formation of FeNPs. The X-ray diffraction spectroscopy revealed the low crystallinity of FeNPs. This report's phytochemical investigation of various extracts of Moringa oleifera revealed the existence of amino acids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, anthraquinones (free and combined),carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, steroids or terpenes, and proteins, and the absence of reducing sugars (MO). Remarkably, the bacterial strains exhibit high and potent susceptibility to the synthesized FeNPs at lower doses than they do to traditional antibacterial medications. Low cost,non-toxicity, and ease of synthesis in the rapeutic biomedical applications,the formed FeNPs have been proven to be a good, effective, and promising antibacterial agent.
