The current study employs C.cuspidatus leaf extract to make silver nanoparticles simplistic and environmental friendly. Plants are employed as remedies in many traditions and serve as a source of potent pharmaceuticals for the pharmaceutical industry due to specific bioactive chemicals. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are progressively used in various industries, including medicine, food, health care, consumer goods, and industry, due to their unique physical and chemical properties. The phytochemical screening analysis of the silver nanoparticles from leaf extract showed some significant components present in it, whereas GC-MS analysis indicated a plethora of organic silicon compounds and carboxylic acids. The biosynthesized AgNPs were characterized by U.V., FTIR, SEM, XRD, Zeta potential and particle size analysis. The characterization results revealed that nanoparticles have a spherical form, with an average particle size of 236.0nm, a particle charge of 0.1mv and a cubic crystalline structure.
