| Abstract Scope |
This study introduces ternary oxide nanoparticles synthesized from a blend of plantain peel, guava leaves, and mushroom extracts, containing iron, silver, and vanadium. These nanoparticles, with an average diameter of 291.6 nm and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.137, exhibit characteristics suitable for drug delivery systems, potentially enhancing tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes. Their irregular morphology leads to aggregated formations, creating a porous structure ideal for drug loading and controlled release, which may improve therapeutic efficacy. The incorporation of silver oxide nanoparticles imparts antimicrobial properties, offering potential inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth. This innovative approach, combining iron, silver, and vanadium oxides, presents promising avenues for TB treatment. Future research is imperative to validate the nanoparticles' effectiveness and safety, highlighting their potential in advancing TB treatment strategies and infectious disease management. |
