Abstract
The current study objective is to synthesize Mgo nanoparticles through green mediated means employing leaf extracts from Acalypha indica for biological purposes. The produced Mgo nanoparticles' optical, chemical and morphological characteristics were verified using UV–Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, zeta potential, XRD and FE-SEM, in that order. Mgo nanoparticles' optical properties and functional groups were examined using UV visible absorption spectra and FT-IR analysis. The antibacterial evaluation of the generated Mgo nanoparticles was investigated using the disc diffusion method against microbial pathogens, including Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, as well as Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Amazing in vitro antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties of Mgo Nanoparticles synthesised using green assisted synthesis were noted. As a result, the current study concludes that environmentally safe, low-cost and green mediated magnesium oxide nanoparticles are the best materials for biological applications.
