Green syntheses of nanoparticles using plant materials are of tremendous scope. Here we report advantageous green synthesis for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous-root extract of Jurinea dolomiaea and AgNO3. Color change of solution and UV-Vis absorption at 444 nm indicated the formation of AgNPs. XRD confirmed their face centered cubic structure (fcc) with average particle size of 24.58 nm. SEM analysis showed their spherical, cubic and triangular structures. FT-IR indicated the presence of functional groups of reducing and stabilizing phytochemicals. Methanol-root extract of J. dolomiaea revealed high flavonoid (445 mg RE/g) and phenolic contents (92 mg GAE/g). Methanol-extract showed high antioxidant potency (IC50 = 0.494 μg/mL), rationally due to its high phenolic and flavonoid contents. These AgNPs showed the highest and equal antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Inhibition zone 11.0 mm) whereas, methanol-roots extract showed equal and intermediate activities (Inhibition zone 8.0 mm) against both pathogens but aqueous extract showed poor activities (Inhibition zone 6.0 mm) against these both pathogens. AgNPs are playing a major role in the field of nanotechnology and nanomedicine due to their antimicrobial and drug delivery efficacy as well as reasonable tolerance in human biology.

Background:: Chemical synthesis methods are adverse in the medicinal field as they produce toxic in the surface whereas green synthesis provide advancement as well as they are cost effective, environment friendly, can be easily scaled up for large scale synthesis. Silver and silver nanoparticles have an important application in the medical industry such as tropical ointments which are used to prevent infection against burn and open wounds. There is no report on the green synthesis from Phlebodium aureum (L.) J. Smith. Objective:: The present study was aimed to synthesize silver nano-particles using Phlebodium aureum (L.) J. Smith extracts by green approach and to screen their cytotoxicity. Methods:: The synthesized AgNPs of P. aureum were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD. The cytotoxicity of the aqueous extracts and AgNPs of P. aureum were determined. Results:: The silver nanoparticle synthesis was confirmed by color change from yellow to dark brown and absorption peak at 460 nm. FT-IR analysis confirmed the capping by proteins and other metabolites. XRD analysis confirmed the existence of silver nanaoparticles with a peak at 46.253°. The dose dependent cytotoxicity was observed in the aqueous and silver nanoparticles of P.aureum. Conclusion:: The present study gave a simple and cheap route to synthesize the AgNPs using aqueous extracts of P. aureum. The studied extracts of P. aureum can be considered as a promising candidate for a plant-derived anti-tumour compound.
