MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049723 A) filed by Dr. M. Yaseen Mowlana; Dr. N. Mujafarkani; Dr. F. M. Mashood Ahamed; Dr. M. Varusai Mohamed; Dr. B. Arifa Farzana; and Dr. A. Mushira Banu, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, on April 18, for 'biological extract mediated green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Yaseen Mowlana; Dr. N. Mujafarkani; Dr. F. M. Mashood Ahamed; Dr. M. Varusai Mohamed; Dr. B. Arifa Farzana; and Dr. A. Mushira Banu.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides a sustainable, green method for synthesizing iron oxide nanoparticles using biological extracts from plants, fungi, or microbial sources as natural reducing and stabilizing agents. The bioactive compounds present in the extracts reduce iron ions to form nanoparticles and simultaneously act as capping agents, preventing aggregation and controlling particle size and morphology. Reaction parameters such as pH, extract concentration, iron precursor concentration, temperature, and reaction time are optimized to ensure reproducibility, uniformity, and enhanced functional performance. The resulting nanoparticles exhibit magnetic properties, biocompatibility, and multifunctionality, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and catalytic activities, making them suitable for biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging, and hyperthermia therapy, as well as environmental remediation and industrial catalysis. The process is scalable, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and avoids toxic chemicals or high-energy procedures, providing a versatile platform for reproducible production of multifunctional iron oxide nanoparticles with controlled physicochemical and functional properties."
