MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531116588 A) filed by Nagaland University, Zunheboto, Nagaland, on Nov. 25, 2025, for 'biosynthesis of mikania micrantha mediated silver nanoparticles a sustainable catalyst for biginelli reaction.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Tovishe Phucho; Manthae C Phom; Phitovili Sumi; Khonzani Yanthan; Shokip Tumtin; and Tonge WW.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention uses Mikania micrantha leaf extract to evaluate the environmentally friendly biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A 5% v/v leaf extract dosage, pH 9, and an 80 C temperature for 60 minutes are the ideal synthesis conditions. The spherical shape and crystalline face-centered cubic structure of the AgNPs, which range in size from 12.35 to 46.83 nm, are verified by characterization methods including UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, and SAED. In the Biginelli reaction, the biosynthesized AgNPs produced high yields in 30 seconds while acting as an environmentally benign catalyst. The extract's promising antioxidant capability is highlighted by antioxidant assays that showed 89.8% inhibitory activity and excellent reducing power."
