Abstract:
Development of nanostructured biohybrid systems represents an important direction in current biomedical research due to their ability to combine the properties of natural bioactive compounds with the advantages of nanomaterials. The present study aimed to obtain and characterize multifunctional phyto-based biohybrids using phyto-vesicles and "green" silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), in order to evaluate their biomedical potential. AgNPs were prepared through green synthesis, using aqueous vegetal extract. The developed biohybrids were characterized by various spectral methods (UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence emission, and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy). The obtained phyto-based structures presented antioxidant activity, and also antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis.
