Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Hymenocallis species (Spider Lilly) leaf extract was subjected for investigation of its antimicrobial property against four bacterial species (E. coli, Salmonella sp., Streptococcus sp. & Staphylococcus sp.). The results revealed that synthesized nanoparticles solution very much justify the color change property from initial light yellow to final reddish brown during the synthesis producing a characteristics absorption peak in the range of 434-466 nm. As antimicrobial agents, their efficacy was evaluated by analysis of variance in between the species and among the different concentration of AgNPs solution, which clearly showed that there was significant variation in the antibiotic property between the four different concentrations of AgNPs solution and also among four different species of bacteria taken under studies. However, silver nanoparticles solution of 1: 9 and 1:4 were proved comparatively more efficient as antimicrobial agents against four species of bacteria.

Coptidis rhizome contains several alkaloids that are bioactive agents of therapeutic value. We propose an eco-friendly method to synthesize biocompatible silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of Coptidis rhizome. Silver ions were reduced to AgNPs using the aqueous extract of Coptidis rhizome, indicating that Coptidis rhizome can be used for the biosynthesis of AgNPs. The time and the concentration required for conversion of silver ions into AgNPs was optimized using UV-absorbance spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP). Biosynthesized AgNPs showed a distinct UV-Visible absorption peak at 420 nm. ICP analysis showed that the time required for the completion of biosynthesis was around 20 min. Microscopic images showed that nanoparticles synthesized were of spherical shape and the average diameter of biosynthesized AgNPs was less than 30 nm. XRD analysis also confirmed the size of AgNps and revealed their crystalline nature. The interaction of AgNPs with phytochemicals present in Coptidis rhizome extract was observed in FTIR analysis. The antimicrobial property of AgNPs was evaluated using turbidity measurements. Coptidis rhizome-mediated biosynthesized AgNPs showed significant anti-bacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus that are commonly involved in various types of infections, indicating their potential as an effective anti-bacterial agent.

ABSTRACTGreen synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) involves the use of diverse extracts of biological origin as substrates to synthesize nanoparticles and can overcome the hazards associated with chemical methods. Coconut inflorescence sap, which is unfermented phloem sap obtained by tapping of coconut inflorescence, is a rich source of sugars and secondary metabolites. In this study, coconut inflorescence sap was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We have initially undertaken metabolomic profiling of coconut inflorescence sap from West Coast Tall cultivar to delineate its individual components. Secondary metabolites constituted the major portion of the inflorescence sap along with sugars, lipids and, peptides. The concentration of silver nitrate, inflorescence sap and incubation temperature for synthesis of AgNPs were optimized. Incubating the reaction mixture at 40°C was found to enhance AgNP synthesis. The AgNPs synthesized were characterized using UV-Visible spectrophotometry, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Antimicrobial property of AgNP was tested in tissue culture of arecanut (Areca catechu L.) where bacterial contamination (Bacillus pumilus) was a frequent occurrence. Significant reduction in the contamination was observed when plantlets were treated with aqueous solutions of 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03% of AgNPs for one hour. Notably, treatment with AgNPs did not affect growth and development of the arecanut plantlets. Cytotoxicity of AgNPs was quantified in HeLa cells. Viability (%) of HeLa cells declined significantly at 10 ppm concentration of AgNP and complete mortality was observed at 60 ppm. Antimicrobial properties of AgNPs synthesized from inflorescence sap were also evaluated and confirmed in human pathogenic bacteria viz., Salmonella sp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Escherichia coli. The study concludes that unfermented inflorescence sap, with above neutral pH, serves as an excellent reducing agent to synthesize AgNPs from Ag+. Graphical abstract

The silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are applied broadly in medical applications due to their antimicrobial property. However, the toxicity (uptake, translocation, and accumulation) of these AgNPs nanomaterial has not been much explored. Also, cyclodextrin has been used for different pharmaceutical applications due to its various potential properties. Therefore, the toxicity of these AgNPs and cyclodextrin in the model organism such as Danio rerio could be crucial for future nano-drug studies. The main aim of the present research work is to synthesize, characterize biopolymeric silver nanoparticles, and perform histopathological studies of synthesized silver nanoparticles on Danio rerio. The silver nanoparticles of 130nm size have been synthesized successfully using β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) at room temperature. The various analytical applied to characterized the β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) reduced silver nanoparticles (β-CD)-SNPs. A histopathological study has been conducted to evaluate the toxicity effect of the synthesized (β-CD)-SNP on the animal model Danio rerio. The (β-CD)-SNPs conc. 30µl/l is affecting and damaged gills and kidney the Danio rerio organs (gills, kidney) exposed after 10 days, yet the liver was found to be healthy. In conclusion, the Danio rerio gills, kidneys, and liver are sensitive to the 130nm-sized (β-CD)-SNPs. The nanoparticles' toxicity depends on concentration; less concentration (30µl/l) accumulates and is absorbed efficiently than the higher concentration (300µl/l). However, no morphological changes were observed on Danio rerio.

The chief aim of the present work is to investigate the preparation for silver nanoparticles antimicrobial agent and its antibacterial activity on cotton fabric. In this study, antimicrobial agent was fabricated by a reaction between an amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HBP-NH2) and silver nitrate solution of certain concentration. Meanwhile, cotton fabric was oxygenated to afford aldehyde groups which could connect with the amino groups of the HBP-NH2 to provide cotton fabric with durable antimicrobial properties. The effects of different biocides made of various molecular structures of synthetic material (HBP-NH2) on antimicrobial properties of nano-silver colloid solution were discussed, and three different agents generated then were characterized in following aspects as silver nanoparticles size and distribution by using DLS, TEM and UV-vis. Furthermore, the fabric structure, mechanical properties and antimicrobial property of treated cotton fabric were also tested. Included in this part of experiment were transverse micro morphology of cotton fibre by SEM, fabric strength retention after finishing, silver nanoparticles molecular conformation on fabric and content analysis via ICP-AES. The results showed that stable silver nanoparticles collide solution with 20-30 nano, applied on oxidized cotton fabric under certain condition, could produce ideal antibacterial rate over 94% of bacterial reduction to both Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and Escherichia coli (E.coli) after 50 consecutive washings.

Removal of microbes is imperative during endodontic therapy. Due to their antimicrobial property, silver nanoparticles have been used for endodontic irrigation of the root canals. The objective of the present study was to provide a qualitative analysis of the published literature assessing silver nanoparticles as root canal irrigants. A search of PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Embase databases was done without any time restriction. Articles published in English were included. Data were extracted and the risk of bias was assessed. Of the 154 studies identified, after screening according to the inclusion criteria, five in vitro studies were included. The results indicate that silver nanoparticles have an anti-microbial effect to varying degrees depending on certain factors. Within the limitations of the present studies that have a moderate to low risk of bias, an antimicrobial effect of silver nanoparticles is observed. Silver nanoparticles have the potential to be used as endodontic irrigants, although their efficacy depends on particle size and the duration of contact which require further investigation.
