ABSTRACT

Background: In the present work, polyherbal silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the aqueous extracts of Tinospora cordifolia and Ficus religiosa through a green synthesis approach. The plant phytoconstituent acted as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, facilitating the formation of silver nanoparticles. These polyherbal AgNPs are incorporated into a transdermal patch formulation to develop a novel anti-microbial drug delivery system.

Methods: The prepared patches were evaluated for physical properties and antibacterial activity. Characterization studies confirm the successful synthesis of stable nanoparticles with suitable size and morphology.

Results: The silver nanoparticle-loaded patches exhibited significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, demonstrating their potential application in the controlled and sustainable management of bacterial infection.
