Abstract :
Cannabis sativa L. (CSL) is a versatile plant recognized for its medicinal, industrial, and nutritional applications. Rich in bioactive compounds, it has been extensively studied for its phytochemical properties and biological activities. The current report focuses on the preparation of a methanol extract from the stems, flowers, and leaves of this plant, along with an assessment of its relevant biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. In the second phase of this study, the green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles was successfully conducted using a methanolic extract of Cannabis sativa L. (MECS). In this process, CSL serves as a natural reducing and capping agent. The synthesized nanoparticles were subsequently characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This method offers a sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to nanoparticle production.
