“…The negative value indicated the stability of the nanoparticles and it evaded the agglomeration of nanoparticles (Patil et al, 2012). The result is consistent with the silver nanoparticles synthesized from the leaf extract of F. religiosa (Antony et al, 2013). The negative potential value might be due to the capping action of biomolecules present in the leaf extract of C. haematocephala.…”

In recent times, plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles has garnered wide interest owing to its inherent features such as rapidity, simplicity, eco-friendliness and cheaper costs. For the first time, silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Calliandra haematocephala leaf extract in the current investigation. The as-formed silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and the characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak was identified to be 414 nm. The morphology of the silver nanoparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to detect the presence of elemental silver. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to ascertain the crystalline nature and purity of the silver nanoparticles which implied the presence of (1 1 1) and (2 2 0) lattice planes of the face centered cubic (fcc) structure of metallic silver. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to key out the specific functional groups responsible for the reduction of silver nitrate to form silver nanoparticles and the capping agents present in the leaf extract. The stability of the silver nanoparticles was analyzed by zeta potential measurements. A negative zeta potential value of À17.2 mV proved the stability of the silver nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli -pathogenic bacteria -and the capacity to detect hydrogen peroxide by the silver nanoparticles were demonstrated which would find applications in the development of new antibacterial drugs and new biosensors to detect the presence of hydrogen peroxide in various samples respectively. ª 2015 The Authors.

“…In some studies, more than one or two compounds/phytoconstituents belonging to different groups were reported to be responsible for the conversion of silver salts into nano-sized silver particles (Ahmad et al, 2011;Antony et al, 2013;Dipankar and Murugan, 2012;Gangula et al, 2011;Ghosh et al, 2011;Sathishkumar et al, 2009;Shameli et al, 2012a;Sheny et al, 2011;Sukirtha et al, 2012;Suman et al, 2013;Thirunavoukkarasu et al, 2013;Vivek et al, 2012). In these cases, one group of compounds has reduced the metal ions whereas the other group could act as capping agents for the synthesized nanoparticles.…”

“…Bax translocation to mitochondria was accompanied by the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and marked elevation in LEHDase activity (Caspase 9) [108]. Ficus religiosa leaf extract was proved as a good reducing agent to fabricate silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by a simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly process in the treatment of Dalton's ascites lymphoma (DAL) in mice model [109].…”

Abstract:-Chemical analysis showed that Ficus religiosa contained tannins, phenols, saponins, sugars, alkaloids, methionine, terpenoids, flavonoids, glycosides, proteins, separated amino acids, essential and volatile oils and steroids. Previous pharmacological studies revealed that Ficus religiosa possessed antimicrobial, anti-parasitic, anti-Parkinson's, anticonvulsant, anti-amnesic, anticholinergic, antidiabetic, antiinflammatory, analgesic, cytotoxic, anti-ulcer, wound healing, antioxidant, anti-asthmatic, reproductive, hepato-, nephro-and dermato-protective effects. The current review highlights the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Ficus religiosa.
