Abstract

There are different kinds of flora found across the world. Diverse variety of plants are there like ornamental plants, indoor plants, vegetable crops, medicinal plants, wild plants etc. Every plant has its own significance and utilizations in diverse fields. Mainly medicinal plants have therapeutic uses in the drug development process. But even other type of plants such as vegetable crops have been found to have medicinal values. Therefore, green vegetables are essential part of our diet from ancient times. This study focuses on evaluating the properties of a leafy vegetable herb namely Amaranthus parganensis. The biologically active compounds that were found through GC-MS revealed the presence of phytol; squalene; 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester; N-Hexadecanoic Acid; 3,4,5-Trimethoxy-2’,4’-diaminodiphenylsulfide; 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol and Ethoxy(methoxy)methyl silane in varied amounts. Furthermore, silver nanoparticles which has therapeutic applications may be synthesized from Amaranthus parganensis. We conclude through this study that Amaranthus parganensis has bioactive compounds which may have therapeutic value. Also, we have shown that the plant could be a potential source for silver nanoparticles synthesis which may have therapeutic applications.
