In the present investigation, an ethanolic fraction (EF) of Lepechinia meyenii (salvia) was prepared and fractionated by gradient column chromatography, main secondary metabolites in EF were identified HPLC-MS. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized conjugated with (salvia). The AgNPs synthesis optimized using Plackett-Burman design response surface methodology (RSM), considering following in...
