Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Using Jasminum auriculatum Stem Extract

Abstract

In the present study, bio-meditated silver nanoparticles have been synthesized using Jasminum auriculatum stem extracts. The silver nanoparticles were confirmed using UV-visible and FT-IR spectra. The size and morphology of silver nanoparticles were confirmed using XRD, SEM and EDAX techniques. The antibacterial activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles was assessed by disc diffusion method against human pathogens. The antibacterial studies indicate that green synthesized silver nanoparticles have several pharmaceutical applications for the management of deadly human pathogens.

Application of synthesized copper nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Ziziphus mauritiana L. leaves as a colorimetric sensor for the detection of Ag+

“…It has been confirmed through various studies that the reduction of metals into their respective metals nanoparticles has been carried out through plant extracts containing polyphenols, terpenoids, alkaloids, sugars, proteins, and phenolic acids. A variety of plant extracts have been used for green synthesis of different metal nanoparticles such as cobalt [16], Ag [17], Au [18], Pd [19], ZnO [20], magnetites (Fe and Ni) [21][22], and Cu NPs [23][24][25][26]. Ziziphus mauritiana L. (Zm) is a fruit tree and well known for its medicinal as well as nutritional benefits [27,28].…”

Biosynthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the purified protein from Jack fruit seeds and its effects on HeLa, cervical cancer cell line

“…Over the last few decades, AgNPs synthesis strategies have mainly focused on developing environmentally friendly and rapid green approaches for cost-effective synthesis methods. It has been reported to have anti-cancer properties [18][19][20][21][22].…”

Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Hydroethanolic Extract of Cucurbita pepo L. Fruit and Their Anti-proliferative and Apoptotic Activity Against Breast Cancer Cell Line (MCF-7)

“…Other limitations of these approaches are the low production of nanoparticles, energy-intensive diversion processes, and defective purification systems [28]. Accordingly, over the past few decades, nanoparticle synthesis strategies have concentrated on the development of the eco-friendly and rapid green approach to costeffective synthesis methods [29][30][31][32][33]. Extracts of many natural plants with a rich source of functional molecules have been verified as the capping and reducing agents for the synthesis of Ag-NPs [34].…”
