Seagrass-mediated silver nanoparticles synthesis by Enhalus acoroides and its α-glucosidase inhibitory activity from the Gulf of Mannar

Abstract

Enhalus acoroides (Linnaeus f.) Royle belongs to the Family: Hydrocharitaceae is an abundantly growing seagrass in coastal areas of Gulf of Mannar. Sea grasses contain very good potent therapeutic properties for challenging diseases. The current investigation is to green synthesis Ag-NPs from Enhalus acoroides and characterize silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and evaluated a-glucosidase inhibition activity. Furthermore, the characterization of the same using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and followed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Surface Plasmon resonance exhibited the development of Ag-NPs in UV-Visible spectra at 419 nm. The FTIR examination was done to find and read the moiety accountable aimed at the bioconversion of silver ions. The crystalline form was observed in the XRD examination. The synthesized Ag-NPs were polydispersed spherical AgNPs as confirmed by EDAX and stabilized in the solution with the spherical shapes further confirmed by TEM analysis designate in the reading of 2-100 nm. The findings of the study shown that Ag-NPs of promisingly proved have strong a-glucosidase inhibitory activity by which AgNPs with an IC 50 47 lg/ml. This current research report is first to account on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from seagrass E. acoroides, because there is no literature survey and investigations on Enhalus acoroides. Hence, we suggest that Ag-NPs synthesized from E. acoroides might be a significant resource of a-glucosidase inhibitors preparation that may benefit diabetes treatment.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Fe3O4/PVA/Eggshell Hybrid Nanocomposite for Photodegradation and Antibacterial Activity

“…The peak at 466.77 cm −1 is attributed to aryl disulfides (S-S stretch), characteristic of the fundamental stretching vibrations of the Fe at a tetrahedral site. These results were also seen in the previous studies, where a similar characteristic peak was found in the range of 500-600 cm −1 with the iron oxide skeleton [31,32]. The magnetization curve of hybrid nanocomposite is shown in Figure 2E.…”

In vitro Assay of Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitor Activities of Three Seagrasses from Banten Bay, Indonesia

“…[1][2] Seagrasses are marine angiosperms growing abundantly in the sea that produce secondary metabolites as an antidiabetic, 3 antioxidant [3][4] and antibacterial [5][6] activities with the chemical compound such as phenol, flavonoids, tannin, terpene, sterol. [6][7] The aim of the present work is to investigate the α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of three seagrasses in Banten Bay, Indonesia i.e.…”

Solvothermal‐assisted green synthesis of hybrid Chi‐Fe3O4nanocomposites: a potential antibacterial and antibiofilm material

“…Similar findings were reported by Manikantan et al , [52] who have documented the presence of C in the prepared copper‐chitosan NPs. The functional groups Cl and O signals in the EDS spectrum corresponds to the X‐ray emission from proteins bound to the NPs surface, which were then removed by centrifugation followed by repeated washing of the composite [58].…”
