“…The availability of the capping agents decreases as reaction time increases, resulting in proper stabilization and capping of nanoparticles [37]. A similar method of color change was reported by Sreelekha et al, where Mussaenda frondosa leaf synthesis of AgNPs showed a color change of mixture from pale yellow to reddish-brown [38].…”

Plumeria alba (P. alba) is a small laticiferous tree with promising medicinal properties. Green synthesis of nanoparticles is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and non-hazardous compared to chemical and physical synthesis methods. Current research aiming to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the leaf extract of P. alba (P- AgNPs) has described its physiochemical and pharmacological properties in recognition of its therapeutic potential as an anticancer and antimicrobial agent. These biogenic synthesized P-AgNPs were physiochemically characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and zeta potential analyses. Antimicrobial activity was investigated against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Candida albicans, and Candida glabrata. Anticancer activity against glioblasoma U118 MG cancer lines was investigated using an MTT assay, and apoptosis activity was determined by flow cytometry. UV–visible spectroscopic analysis portrayed surface plasmon resonance at 403 nm of synthesized P-AgNPs, and FTIR suggested the presence of amines, alkanes, and phenol molecules that could be involved in reduction and capping processes during AgNPs formation. Synthesized particles were spherical in shape and poly-dispersed with an average particle size of 26.43 nm and a poly-dispersity index (PDI) of 0.25 with a zeta potential value of −24.6 mV, ensuring their stability. The lattice plane values confirm the crystalline nature as identified by XRD. These P-AgNPs exhibited potential antimicrobial activity against selected human pathogenic microbes. Additionally, the in vitro MTT assay results show its effective anticancer activity against the glioma U118 MG cancer cell line with an IC50 value of 9.77 µg/mL AgNPs by initiating apoptosis as identified by a staining study with flow cytometric annexin V–fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI). Thus, P. alba AgNPs can be recommended for further pharmacological and other biological research. To conclude, the current investigation developed an eco-friendly AgNPs synthesis using P. alba leaf extract with potential cytotoxic and antibacterial capacity, which can therefore be recommended as a new strategy to treat different human diseases.

“…Numerous methods of silver nanoparticle synthesis are available in the scientific community physical as well as chemical in which the sol-gel process, chemical vapor deposition, chemical reduction, reverse micelle, microwave, hydrothermal method, laser-mediated synthesis, electroirradiation, microwave irradiation, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and photochemical reduction and biological methods from plants, microorganism, and yeast are common [4][5][6][7][8]. However, the synthesis of nanoparticles from materials (biological) such as plant leaves, stems, roots, and flowers is preferred due to their eco-friendly nature, cost-effectiveness, and less involvement of toxic chemicals for scientific community [9][10][11]. Therefore, the higher reduction rate and better stability of silver ions were observed in the extract of plant leaves as compared to microorganisms [11,12].…”

Silver nanoparticle synthesis of the leaf extract Tagetes erecta L. enriched with ascorbic acid and polyphenols has been investigated. The color of the golden yellow extract has changed to pinkish-brown due to the reduction of Ag+ to the colloidal solution of AgNPs and a sharp absorption peak at 420 nm under the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. In addition, the Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) estimation was completed in order to recognize and identify the biomolecules present in the extract acting as a reducing and capping agent for the AgNPs. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks at (111), (201), (220), and (311) confirm the presence of monoclinic crystals in the solution. The morphology and size of the particles were provided by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of AgNPs. At a scale of 100 nm, synthesized AgNPs were predominantly spherical with a size range of 7-35 nm. In comparison to 7.39 mg/100 g in AgNPs, aqueous leaf extract was 55.14 mg/100 g higher in ascorbic acid. The phenolic and flavonoid content of extract was 52.54 ± 2.15 mg (GAE/100 g) and 15.43 ± 0.34 mg (QE/mL), and the colloidal AgNP solution was 21.45 ± 1.15 mg (GAE/100 g) and 8.05 ± 2.42 mg (QE/mL), respectively. Phenolic and flavonoid contents play a major role as a reducing agent and reduce the precursor AgNO3 into AgNPs. The DPPH scavenging assay also assessed the antioxidant properties of extract and its derived AgNPs. As compared antioxidant value to aqueous leaf extract (mg/mL), higher percentage inhibition (PI) was found in AgNPs and free-radical scavenging activity of extract and AgNPs were directly linked to their concentrations. Results of this research have discovered a higher potential for free-radical scavenging AgNPs and will help to develop new and more potent antioxidants for the treatment of different diseases caused by oxidative stress; the higher antioxidant properties bearing AgNPs might be used.

“…The results revealed that TpAgNP6 nanoparticles showed significant antioxidant activity due to the presence of bioactive reductants on the large surface of AgNPs. The phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, presented great antioxidant potential ( Heim et al, 2002 ; Ranilla et al, 2010 ) and hence the presence of these compounds on the surface of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles is primarily responsible for the increased % scavenging activity ( Sreelekha et al, 2021 ). Correspondingly, the % scavenging activity of the DPPH assay showed that TpAgNPs were highly active in comparison to T. pallida extract for antioxidant potential.…”

Silver nanoparticles have received much attention, due to their wide range of biological applications as an alternative therapy for disease conditions utilizing the nanobiotechnology domain for synthesis. The current study was performed to examine the antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, and antifungal potential of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (TpAgNPs) using plant extract. The TpAgNPs were produced by reacting the Tradescantia pallida extract and AgNO3 solution in nine various concentration ratios subjected to bioactivities profiling. According to the current findings, plant extract comprising phenolics, flavonoids, and especially anthocyanins played a critical role in the production of TpAgNPs. UV–visible spectroscopy also validated the TpAgNP formation in the peak range of 401–441 nm. Further, the silver ion stabilization by phytochemicals, face-centered cubic structure, crystal size, and spherical morphology of TpAgNPs were analyzed by FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Among all TpAgNPs, the biosynthesized TpAgNP6 with a medium concentration ratio (5:10) and the plant extract had effective antioxidant potentials of 77.2 ± 1.0% and 45.1 ± 0.5% free radical scavenging activity, respectively. The cytotoxic activity of TpAgNP6 in comparison to plant extract for the rhabdomyosarcoma cell line was significantly the lowest with IC50 values of 81.5 ± 1.9 and 90.59 ± 1.6 μg/ml and cell viability % of 24.3 ± 1.62 and 27.4 ± 1.05, respectively. The antibacterial and antifungal results of TpAgNPs revealed significant improvement in comparison to plant extract, i.e., minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) 64 μg/ml against Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa while, in the case of antifungal assay, TpAgNP6 was active against Candida parapsilosis. These TpAgNPs play a crucial role in determining the therapeutic potential of T. pallida due to their biological efficacy.
