Sudan has a tremendous wealth flora due to its unique geographical location and diverse climate. Vast records of plants and plants’ secondary metabolites are reported to possess redox capacity and can be exploited for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Plant-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is preferred due to their availability and their various metabolites. The present review explores the potentiality and diversity of biological activities of silver nanoparticles that originated from the combination of silver and phyto-constituents of mostly traditionally used Sudanese medicinal and aromatic plants. The green synthesis methods of silver nanoparticles mediated by more than 45 traditionally used medicinal plants are critically reviewed. In addition, parameters that affect the synthesis of plant-mediated silver nanoparticles, their characterization techniques and various biological activities are summarized and discussed. Thus, the study of green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and its applications can be extended to involve vast plant diversity of Sudan.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles mediated by traditionally used medicinal plants in Sudan

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are currently undergoing several developments that will impact several industries across the global in due season. The wide applications of nanoparticles in biomedicine, pharmacy, phytochemistry, research institute, catalysis, textile, waste water management, chemistry, food preservatives, and paint have led to new area of discoveries for many researchers and industries. The biological method of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) had tremendously gained wide popularity due to its environmental friendly conditions of synthesis. Numerous biological entities namely; plants, bacteria, essential oil, fungi, algae, and yeasts had been used as reducing and capping agent for the synthesis of AgNPs. All scientific investigations have ascertained the uniqueness of AgNPs as therapeutic agent against cancer, virus, bacterial, and fungal infections. This review provides detailed scientific information about the various methods of synthesis, optimization conditions, mechanism, and characterization techniques for the synthesis of AgNPs with efficient yield and morphological properties. Furthermore, concise advancement in the antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, and anticancer activities of AgNPs mediated from plant sources from recently published articles were enumerated.
