MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113238 A) filed by Dr. Mohammad Arshad; and Dr. Arpita Roy on September 22, 2026, for Green Synthesised Metal Nanoparticles Using Phytochemicals For Anti-Cancer Applications.
Inventors include Dr. Mohammad Arshad; and Dr. Arpita Roy.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to green-synthesized metal nanoparticles produced using phytochemicals derived from plant materials for anti-cancer applications. A plant extract containing phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, proteins, reducing sugars or combinations thereof is contacted with a metal precursor under controlled synthesis conditions. The phytochemicals facilitate metal-ion reduction and provide surface stabilization of the resulting nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles may comprise silver, gold, copper, zinc, iron or combinations thereof. The nanoparticles are purified and characterized for particle size, morphology, crystallinity, surface chemistry, elemental composition and stability. The phytochemical-functionalized nanoparticles are evaluated against cancer cells to determine biological responses including reduced viability, oxidative stress, mitochondrial alteration and apoptosis-associated activity. The invention provides a sustainable nanoparticle synthesis platform that reduces dependence on conventional chemical reducing and stabilizing agents while providing potential anti-cancer nanomaterials.
