Abstract
This study focuses on the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using sage and thyme extracts as green reducing agents. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Furthermore, the biomedical applications of the synthesized nanoparticles were investigated, including their antibacterial activity against various pathogenic bacteria and their potential as a drug delivery system. The results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles had significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The nanoparticles also exhibited strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, indicating their potential for use in various biomedical applications. Overall, the study suggests that sage and thyme-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles have promising antimicrobial, cytotoxicity activity, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, and could serve as potential candidates for the development of novel therapeutic agents.
