Herbal products, which comprise a wide variety of bioactive molecules, have been used as remedies for different diseases throughout history. Lagenaria siceraria, a fruit vegetable, is employed in folk medicine as a treatment for various disorders including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and heart and liver ailments. In the present work, a number of compounds were isolated and characterized from the ethyl acetate fraction of the methanolic extract of its peel, including β-sitosterol, vanillin, quercetin, rutin, 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, stearic acid, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol, 2,2′-methylenebis[6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol], 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid mono(2-ethylhexyl) ester, hexadecanoic acid and its methyl ester, (Z,Z)-9,12-ocatdecadienoic acid and its ester, and (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-ocatdecatrienoic acid methyl ester. Separation of the phytochemicals was done using column and thin-layer chromatography, while gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were employed for their identification. These compounds are being reported for the first time from the peel of the fruit of L. siceraria. The results provide a possible chemical rationale for the medicinal applications of this fruit.

The present investigation demonstrates the formation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of the aqueous silver metal ions during exposure to the Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract. The synthesized AgNPs have characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. AgNPs formation has screened by UV-visible spectroscopy through colour conversion due to surface plasma resonance band at 427 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the resulting AgNPs are highly crystalline and the structure is face centered cubic (fcc). FT-IR spectrum indicates the presence of different functional groups present in the biomolecules capping the nanoparticles. Further, inhibitory activity of AgNPs and leaf extract were tested against human pathogens like gram-pastive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicated that the AgNPs showed moderate inhibitory actions against human pathogens than Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract, demonstrating its antimicrobial value against pathogenic diseases.
