This manuscript presents a novel and environmentally friendly approach for synthesizing AgNPs using the aqueous leaf extract of Forsskaolea Tenacissima. The study includes the identification of key phytochemicals in the extract responsible for the reduction and stabilization of AgNPs, along with detailed characterization for their morphology, size, and structural features. We proposed a plausible mechanism for AgNPs formation, supported by experimental data, and thoroughly discussed their antimicrobial mode of action. Additionally, the antioxidant and catalytic activities of the green synthesized AgNPs were evaluated, showing promising multifunctional potential. The findings suggest that the synthesized AgNPs may serve as a sustainable nanomaterial with potential applications in infection control, oxidative-stress related disease management, and wastewater treatment, thus addressing both health and environmental challenges.We believe that Frontiers in Nanotechnology, given its reputation and focus on cutting-edge advancement in nanoscience, is a suitable platform for disseminating these findings. While we have made every effort to adhere to the journal's guidelines, we kindly ask for your understanding in case of any inadvertent formatting oversights, which we will gladly correct in future revisions if necessary.Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your favorable response.
