Green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using belladonna mother tincture and its efficacy as a potential antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent

Variation in surface properties, metabolic capping, and antibacterial activity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles: comparison of bio-fabrication potential in phytohormone-regulated cell cultures and naturally grown plants

“…21 Several recent studies highlighted the role of different classes of plant secondary metabolites such as terpenoids, phenols, and alkaloids in the bio-reduction of silver salts. [22][23][24] The production of these metabolites can be streamlined in cell cultures using appropriate in vitro culture conditions and media composition including variation in supplemented phytohormones. 21 Alterations of growth regulators i.e.…”

An Updated Review on Silver Nanoparticles in Biomedicine

“…Strong bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects against E. coli were also reported for AgNPs biosynthesized with gum kondagogu (4.5 ± 3.1 nm) [ 118 ], Arisaema flavum extract (5–8 nm) [ 119 ] and Polygonatum graminifolium extract (3–15 nm) [ 120 ], but also for nanoparticles capped with PVP (16 ± 2 nm) [ 121 ], pectin (8–13 nm) [ 122 ] and chitosan (>20 nm) [ 123 ]. AgNPs biosynthesized with corn silk extract (10–30 nm) [ 124 ], belladonna tincture (15–20 nm) [ 125 ], thyme extract (75 nm) [ 126 ] and nanosilver bioreduced by Bacillus subtilis (3–20 nm) [ 127 ] and Lactobacillus brevis (45 nm) [ 128 ] showed pronounced antibacterial effects against S. aureus .…”

Recent Advances in Antiinflammatory Material Design

“…By capping silver nanoparticles with molecules such as belladonna, Das et al proposed a system with a higher in vitro anti-inflammatory response than diclofenac, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug. [57] This type of synthesis and the use of natural reagents allow to increase the biocompatibility of nanomaterials while controlling their size and the shape.…”
