Recently, nanobiotechnology has attracted a lot of attention, as it is a rapidly emerging field that is still growing and developing efficient and advanced therapeutic protocols under the umbrella of nanomedicine. It can revolutionize solutions to biomedical problems by developing effective treatment protocols and therapeutics. However, focus and research are still required to make these therapeutics more effective and safer to use. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized from extract using green synthesis protocols. The nanoparticles were further characterized based on their absorption spectrum, size, structural morphology, and other related parameters. Biological assays were also performed to evaluate biological applications for the synthesized nanoparticles. analysis was performed to assess the druglike properties of synthesized nanoparticles. The results proved an optimized synthesis of the iron oxide nanoparticles with the size of 56 nm confirmed by SEM. The FTIR analysis predicted the presence of nitro and carbonyl groups in the synthesized nanoparticles. The 81% DPPH inhibition confirmed the antioxidant activity, and the 96.20% inhibition of egg albumin protein confirmed the anti-inflamatory activity. Additionally, the 73.26% inhibition of α-amylase, which was more than that of the control used, confirmed the antidiabetic activity. The ADMET analysis confirmed the synthesized nanoparticles as potential therapeutic candidates as well. However, further evaluation for safety concerns is still required to use these FeONPs as potential therapeutic agents. This study can be proved as a significant contribution to the scientific community and a gateway to the future scientists who are willing to work on nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology. ADMET analysis confirmed the synthesized nanoparticles as potential therapeutic candidates as well. However, further evaluation for safety concerns is still required to use these FeONPs and potential therapeutic agents.
