摘要:
The method for preparing metal nanoparticles includes preparing an extract of myrrh and mixing the extract with an aqueous solution including a metal salt. The mixture changes in color from light yellow to dark brown upon formation of nanoparticles. The extract of myrrh can be a water extract prepared by, for example, soaking a quantity of myrrh in water, filtering the soaked myrrh to obtain a filtered product, and then centrifuging the filtered product. The metal salt can be, for example, silver nitrate (AgNO3). The metal nanoparticles can be spherical, spheroidal, elongated spherical, rod, and/or faceted. The metal nanoparticles can be used to treat Leishmaniasis (lesions) caused by Leishmania major.
