The increasing number of deaths caused by mosquito-borne diseases highlights the need to produce efficient and environmentally sustainable alternatives. The aim of the present investigation we have utilized the leaf from Laureliopsis philippiana (LP) to synthesize silver (Ag) and palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (NPs) and studied toxicity on deadly disease vectors larvae of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi. Biosynthesized Ag and Pd NPs were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Zeta potential analysis. GC-MS analysis of L. philippiana assisted in identifying the secondary metabolites of the extract's total flavonoid and phenolic compounds, which are in the reactants of the bio-reduction process during the production of nanoparticles. The in-silico analysis was conducted on mosquito sterol carrier protein-2 (1PZ4) and mosquito odorant binding protein (2L2C). The XRD results revealed the crystalline structure of NPs. At the same time, in TEM representation, the biosynthesized Ag and Pd NPs were spherical, clustered, and exhibited a noticeable UV peak at 417 and 370 nm (average size of AgNPs: 13.25± 2.53 nm and PdNPs: 4.07± 1.64 nm). The biogenic Ag and Pd NPs exhibited a concentration-dependent larvicidal effect with LC50 values of 29.596, 17.804, and 23.915, 14.878 µg/mL on Ae. aegypti and 23.946, 13.938, 19.457, and 12.876 µg/mL against An. stephensi, correspondingly. In-silico studies proved that the Laureliopsine A (-7.6 and -8.4 kcal/mol) and isoterpinolene (-7.0 and -6.7 kcal/mol) showed significant docking scores in comparison to permethrin (-5.3 and -8.0 kcal/mol), on mosquito proteins (1PZ4 and 2L2C). Besides, the LP-Ag and Pd NPs non-toxicity analysis was carried out on Zebrafish embryos at 72h post-fertilization. Overall, the findings clearly demonstrated the green synthesized Ag and Pd NPs from L. philippiana to develop environmentally secure and safe l
We aimed at the ecotoxicity of CNFs (at 10 and 100 mg/kg) in Lumbricus terrestris earthworms naturally infected with Monocystis sp. After 28-d of exposure, treatments did not affect the survival rate. However, we obse...
