Biosynthesis of polyphenol-stabilised nanoparticles and assessment of anti-diabetic activity

- Controlled green syntheses of Pt NPs were achieved by simplest and easier process.
- Synthesised Pt NPs were in controlled size of 12 nm.
- Anti-diabetic activity of Pt NPs showed a huge decrease in blood plasma level of STZ induced rats.

Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is a major developing field. In this study, we utilised Whitania somnifera leaves as a green source to synthesise platinum (Pt) NPs. Synthesised Pt NPs resulted from controlled synthesis of 12 nm spherical particles. The synthesised Pt NPs were subjected to anti-diabetic applications resulting in a significant decrease in plasma glucose levels after injecting the Pt NPs into streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
