The green route of metal nanoparticles synthesis has received significant attention in recent years due to it's cost-effective, non-toxic and eco-friendly nature in comparison to other physical and chemical methods. This study reports on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) from bio-reduction of 1mM aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) by extracts prepared from three different plants namely, Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck (Broccoli), Capsicum annuum L. (Chili) and Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Carrot grass). The synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized using UV- visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Ag-NPs synthesized showed the surface plasmon resonance with the appearance of absorption peaks around the range of 410-430 nm. The possible biomolecules involved in the reduction and the stabilization of synthesized Ag-NPs were found to be alcoholic, phenolic, amine and carbonyl groups. SEM study revealed that Ag-NPs were spherical in shape with varied size about 10-40 nm. Besides, the analysis of antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Ag-NPs was carried out. The Ag-NPs synthesized using B. oleracea extract showed the higher antioxidant activity than Ag-NPs synthesized from both C. annuum & P. hysterophorus extracts. Ag-NPs exhibited good antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. The higher antibacterial activity was shown by Ag-NPs synthesized from P. hysterophorus extract in comparison to Ag-NPs synthesized from both C. annuum & B. oleracea extracts. Hence, it can be concluded that Ag-NPs synthesized following the green route could be the source for potential antioxidant and antibacterial agents. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 6(4): 294-301

Nanoparticles are used in various fields of science, especially medicine. Advent of nanotechnology has led to significant development in disease diagnosis, treatment and drug delivery. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) play an important role in medical application, which makes them a viable alternative to common antibiotics. Amongst various methods, synthesis of Ag-NPs via green method has the advantage of being cost effective with no toxic agent. In this study, Spherical shape Ag-NPs with average size of 30 nm were synthetized using Anethum graveolens leaf extract as a green, cost-effective, non-toxic and environment-friendly source. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analysis (PSA) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were performed to characterize synthesized Ag-NPs. The antibacterial activity of the synthetized Ag-NPs was evaluated against gram positive and negative bacterial pathogens. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at different concentrations of Ag-NPs were used to evaluate their antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogens. The results exhibited a desirable antibacterial property of Ag-NPs, suggested its usage as putative antibacterial agents. Moreover, the anticancer effect of green synthesized Ag-NPs was evaluated against MCF-7 lines and results showed that the cell viability is depended on the concentration of Ag-NPs. In short, this method provides a simple, cost effective and eco-friendly way to synthesis Ag-NPs which can be used as a suitable alternative to common antibiotics that use hazardous chemical agents, additionally, with anticancer effects against MCF-7 cells.

AbstractIn this study, we reported an easy, rapid, cost-effective and environmentally benign method for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using Olea ferruginea as reducing, capping and stabilizing agent. For this, an aqueous extract of leaf and bark of O. ferruginea was treated with 1 mM AgNO3, which reduces Ag ions to Ag-NPs by establishing reddish brown color. The synthesized Ag-NPs were spherical crystals, with a mean size of 23 and 17 nm for leaf- and bark-mediated Ag-NPs, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy affirmed the role of leaf and bark extracts of O. ferruginea as reducing, capping and stabilizing agent. These biosynthesized Ag-NPs showed profound antibacterial activity against Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. The highest antibacterial activity was shown by bark Ag-NPs against S. aureus (14.00 mm), while leaf Ag-NPs showed higher activity against S. pneumonia (13.00 mm). Additionally, they produced effective antioxidant activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) as compared to plant extracts and positive control. It was observed that the bark-mediated Ag-NPs had higher percentage (90%) of scavenging potential than the leaf-mediated Ag-NPs (78%). The significance of the current study is the synthesis of eco-friendly, easy and cost-effective Ag-NPs as biomedical products.

AbstractThe application of green synthesis in nanotechnology is growing day by day. It’s a safe and eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods. The current research aimed to study raw royal jelly’s potential in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their antibacterial activity. Royal jelly served as a reducing and oxidizing agent in the green synthesis technology of colloidal silver nanoparticles. The UV–Vis maximum absorption at ~ 430 nm and fluorescence emission peaks at ~ 487 nm confirmed the presence of Ag NPs. Morphology and structural properties of Ag NPs and the effect of ultrasound studies revealed: (i) the formation of polydispersed and spherical particles with different sizes; (ii) size reduction and homogeneity increase by ultrasound treatment. Antibacterial activity of different concentrations of green synthesized Ag NPs has been assessed on Gram-negative S. typhimurium and Gram-positive S. aureus, revealing higher sensitivity on Gram-negative bacteria.

: Nanotechnology studies the various phenomena of physio-chemical procedures and biological properties for the generation of nanosized particles, and their rising challenges in the various sectors, like medicine, engineering, agriculture, electronic, and environmental studies. The nanosized particles exhibit good anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, drug delivery, anti-parasitic, anti-coagulant and catalytic properties because of their unique dimensions with large surface area, chemical stability and higher binding density for the accumulation of various bio-constituents on their surfaces. Biological approaches for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been reviewed because it is an easy and single-step protocol and a viable substitute for the synthetic chemical-based procedures. Physical and chemical approaches for the production of AgNPs are also mentioned herein. Biological synthesis has drawn attention because it is cost-effective, faster, non-pathogenic, environment-friendly, easy to scale-up for large-scale synthesis, and having no demand for usage of high pressure, energy, temperature, or noxious chemical ingredients, and safe for human therapeutic use. Therefore, the collaboration of nanomaterials with bio-green approaches could extend the utilization of biological and cytological properties compatible with AgNPs. In this perspective, there is an immediate need to develop ecofriendly and biocompatible techniques, which strengthen efficacy against microbes and minimize toxicity for human cells. The present study introduces the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles, and their potential biomedical applications have also been reviewed.

The aim of the present study is to synthesize silver nanoparticles, using an aqueous floral extract of common Lotus, i.e Nelumbo nucifera. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV, TEM, EDX, AFM & XRD. The synthesized AgNPs were confirmed due to the colour change from colourless to reddish brown just after the addition of the aqueous floral extract of Nelumbo nucifera. The UV results of AgNPs showed the excitation of surface Plasmon resonance band at 427 nm. TEM results showed that the synthesized AgNPs were uniformed; monodispersed,spherical in shape and the particle size were found to be 77.81 ± 3.54 nm. EDX spectrum of AgNPs confirms strong signals from Ag (64%) and other elements such as C, O and Cl. The morphology of the synthesized AgNPs by AFM analysis resembled the TEM micrograph. The crystalline nature of the AgNPs was confirmed by XRD. The present study concludes that the aqueous floral extract of Nelumbo nucifera could be used as an effective reducing agent for the synthesis of AgNP. The green synthesis ofsilver nanoparticles is non-toxic and cost-effective and thus remains to be an alternative method to other physical and chemical reduction methods.
