Rhizophora lamarckii

Mangrove-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles with high HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory potential

Nowadays, the interactions of metal nanoparticles with microorganisms and parasites of public health importance receive increasing attention due to their functional versatility and multipurpose effectiveness. In this research, green biosynthesis of antiviral silver nanomaterials was achieved allowing the reduction of Ag+ions by the aqueous leaf extract of mangrove Rhizophora lamarckii.
