AbstractIn this work, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is described by phytochemical reducing silver nitrate aqueous solution using Anthemis nobilis. For this purpose, Anthemis nobilis extract was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles as both surfactant and reducing agent. Green synthesis method is a good alternative to physical and chemical methods, since it is fast, simple, environmentally-friendly and economic. The produced nanoparticles are identified using FE-SEM, EDX, and FT-IR and Uv/Vis techniques. Formation of silver nanoparticles is verified in 430–420 nm range. Reduction of silver ions by hydroxyl functional group is also confirmed by FT-IR device. EDX device confirms the presence of a peak for Ag element without any impurity peak. Silver nanoparticles are identified by FE-SEM device and found to have average size between 17 and 42 nm. Also, the antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles is compared with that of staphyloccusaureus and pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the maximum inhibitory activity against the bacteria is obtained using 1 mM nitrate solution.

Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles

Green synthesis method of nanomaterials is rapidly growing in the nanotechnology field; it replaces the use of toxic chemicals and time consumption. In this present investigation we report the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by using the leaf extract of medicinally valuable plant Solanum trilobatum. The influence of physical and chemical parameters on the silver nanoparticle fabrication such as incubation time, silver nitrate concentration, pH, and temperature is also studied in this present context. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The SEM and TEM confirm the synthesis of spherical shape of nanocrystalline particles with the size range of 2–10 nm. FTIR reveals that the carboxyl and amine groups may be involved in the reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity of synthesized silver nanoparticles was done by agar well diffusion method against different pathogenic bacteria. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles can be used in the field of medicine, due to their high antibacterial activity.

In this work, silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using simple and environmentally friendly ‘green synthesis’ method using Indonesian wild honey as mediator. Particle count and size can be optimized by varying the silver nitrate precursor and honey concentration, with the help of sodium hydroxide as pH regulator. Based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) result, crystalline structure of Ag has been confirmed in sample with impurities from AgCl. Based on dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results, it was found that the smallest average particles size of AgNPs (117.5 nm from DLS and 11.1 nm from TEM) was obtained at sample with 5% w/v of honey and 0.5 mM of AgNO3.

Objective: Synthesis of varied sized and morphologically distinct silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using callus/callus extract, and their promising antibacterial and cytotoxicity was reported from very few plant systems. Here, we investigated silver nanoparticle synthetic potential of Couroupita guianensis leaf callus extract and their antibacterial activity.Methods: synthesis of callus mediated silver nanoparticles and characterisation of physical, chemical, and antibacterial activity of AgNPs.Results: Callus extract rapidly reduced silver ions and stabilized nanoparticles have displayed characteristic maximum UV absorbance at 410 nm. SEM and AFM images revealed their spherical morphology and size variation, which is ranged from 30.38 nm to 88.32 nm and were in small aggregates. Capping of AgNPs by the phenolic compounds and proteins revealed from FTIR spectral peaks. Silver nanoparticles displayed significantly high antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and negative bacterial strains compared to silver ions and gentamicin. This enhanced antimicrobial activity of AgNPs may due their small size leading to efficient molecular contact with cell surface, and uptake and interaction with vital biomolecules.Conclusions: Stable AgNPs were synthesized through reduction and capping of silver ions by polyphenols and proteins present in callus extract. Theenhanced antimicrobial activity of AgNPs may due to their small size leading to efficient molecular contact with the cell surface, penetration, andinteraction, and inactivation of vital biomolecules.KEY WORDS: Couroupita guianensis, callus extract, Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), antibacterial activity

Tuber Extract

In this report, we discussed rapid, facile one-pot green synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs) by using tuber extract of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, and evaluated their antibacterial activity. AuNPs and AgNPs were synthesized by mixing their respective precursors (AgNO3 and HAuCl4) with tuber extract of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius as the bio-reducing agent. Characterization of AuNPs and AgNPs were confirmed by applying UV-vis spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). From UV-vis characterization, surface plasmon resonance spectra were found at 530 nm for AuNPs and 446 nm for AgNPs. XRD data confirmed that both synthesized nanoparticles were face-centered cubic in crystalline nature, and the average crystallite sizes for the assign peaks were 13.3 nm for AuNPs and 22.48 nm for AgNPs. FTIR data evaluated the characteristic peaks of different phytochemical components of tuber extract, which acted as the reducing agent, and possibly as stabilizing agents. The antibacterial activity of synthesized AuNPs and AgNPs were examined in Muller Hinton agar, against two Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria through the disc diffusion method. AuNPs did not show any inhibitory effect, while AgNPs showed good inhibitory effect against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Background: There is worldwide interest in silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized by various chemical reactions for use in applications exploiting their antibacterial activity, even though these processes exhibit a broad range of toxicity in vertebrates and invertebrates alike. To avoid the chemical toxicity, biosynthesis (green synthesis) of metal nanoparticles is proposed as a cost-effective and environmental friendly alternative. Aloe vera leaf extract is a medicinal agent with multiple properties including an antibacterial effect. Moreover the constituents of aloe vera leaves include lignin, hemicellulose, and pectins which can be used in the reduction of silver ions to produce as AgNPs@aloe vera (AgNPs@AV) with antibacterial activity. Methods: AgNPs were prepared by an eco-friendly hydrothermal method using an aloe vera plant extract solution as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. AgNPs@AV were characterized using XRD and SEM. Additionally, an agar well diffusion method was used to screen for antimicrobial activity. MIC and MBC were used to correlate the concentration of AgNPs@AV its bactericidal effect. SEM was used to investigate bacterial inactivation. Then the toxicity with human cells was investigated using an MTT assay. Results: The synthesized AgNPs were crystalline with sizes of 70.70 ± 22-192.02 ± 53 nm as revealed using XRD and SEM. The sizes of AgNPs can be varied through alteration of times and temperatures used in their synthesis. These AgNPs were investigated for potential use as an antibacterial agent to inhibit pathogenic bacteria. Their antibacterial activity was tested on S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa. The results showed that AgNPs had a high antibacterial which depended on their synthesis conditions, particularly when processed at 100 oC for 6 h and 200 oC for 12 h. The cytotoxicity of AgNPs was determined using human PBMCs revealing no obvious cytotoxicity. These results indicated that AgNPs@AV can be effectively utilized in pharmaceutical, biotechnological and biomedical applications. Discussion: Aloe vera extract was processed using a green and facile method. This was a hydrothermal method to reduce silver nitrate to AgNPs@AV. Varying the hydrothermal temperature provided the fine spherical shaped nanoparticles. The size of the nanomaterial was affected by its thermal preparation. The particle size of AgNPs could be tuned by varying both time and temperature. A process using a pure AG phase could go to completion in 6h at 200 oC, whereas reactions at lower temperatures required longer times. Moreover, the antibacterial effect of this hybrid nanomaterial was sufficient that it could be used to inhibit pathogenic bacteria since silver release was dependent upon its particle size. The high activity of the largest AgNPs might have resulted from a high concentration of aloe vera compounds incorporated into the AgNPs during hydrothermal synthesis.
