MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123017 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'biogenic synthesis of zinc and copper nanoparticles with antidiabetic activity.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Gayathri. M; and Mr. Vinusam V.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a method for biogenic synthesis of metal nanoparticles with antidiabetic activity. The method includes preparing an aqueous extract from Pseuderanthemum latifolium leaves by mixing finely chopped dried leaves with distilled water and heating with stirring for 4-5 hours followed by overnight stirring, preparing a metal precursor solution by dissolving zinc acetate dihydrate or copper sulfate pentahydrate in distilled water at 0.1-1 M concentration, mixing the plant extract with the metal precursor solution under constant stirring for 10 minutes, incubating the mixture with mild heating for 1 hour, adjusting pH to 10-12 using 1 M NaOH, allowing overnight incubation at room temperature, recovering the nanoparticles by centrifugation at 7000 rpm for 15 minutes, washing three times with distilled water, and drying at 60 C for 24 hours."
