The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using various natural resources is one of the emerging fields of green nanotechnology. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized through an eco-friendly green route using Phyllanthus pinnatus leaf extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by a characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak at 445 nm. Structural and morphological analyses using FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and zeta potential revealed predominantly spherical, crystalline nanoparticles with an average size of 10–15 nm and moderate colloidal stability. The biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited concentration-dependent antioxidant activity in DPPH and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays. Significant antibacterial activity was observed against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, with inhibition zones surpassing those of the standard antibiotic ampicillin, particularly against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moderate antifungal activity was noted at higher concentrations. Overall, the study demonstrates that P. pinnatus-mediated AgNPs possess promising antioxidant and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, highlighting their potential as sustainable nanomaterials for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
