Background/Objectives: Endophytic fungi represent an alternative source for resveratrol (RES) production. The present study aims to utilize mycoendophytic-derived resveratrol as a reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), in addition to further assay the cytotoxic activity of a RES-conjugated nanocarrier system toward human epi dermoid carcinoma A-431 cells. Methods: Alternaria alternata AUMC 16209 was isolated from the stem of grapevine Vitis vinifera L. cultivar prime. Strain identification was achieved through morphological and molecular characterization using ITS sequencing. A. alternata AUMC 16209 exhibited RES production capability upon cultivation on PDB me dium for seven days with a total of 8.25 mg/L as determined by HPLC. The crude RES was purified using flash chromatography followed by structure elucidation through 1H and 13C NMR analyses. The purified RES was used for green synthesis of nanoparticles, acting as a reducing agent for silver ions. Results: Stable RES-AgNPs were fabricated at particle sizes ranging from 25 to 47 nm. RES-AgNPs observed a plasmon resonance ab sorption band at 415 nm with a negative zeta potential value of −38.5 mV. The crystalline structure of RES-AgNPs was addressed through X-ray diffraction analysis FT-IR spec troscopy confirms the involvement of the functional –OH group and the aromatic C=C bond in the reduction and stabilization process. RES-AgNPs was more efficient to inhibit the cellular proliferation of human epidermoid carcinoma A-431 cells compared to RES alone. Conclusions: This report introduces for the first time an endophytic A. alternata as a sustainable source for RES production and emphasizes its potential for green synthesis of stable AgNPs with promising cytotoxic activity.
