Synthesis & characterization of biologically active Gigantic swallow-wort mediated silver nanoparticles

Publication date: Available online 12 July 2019Source: Materials Today: ProceedingsAuthor(s): U. Nagababu, B. Govindh, B.S. Diwakar, G. Kiran Kumar, Anindita ChatterjeeAbstractSilver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were produced by a simple, one step green method using Gigantic swallow-wort leaf aqueous extract. Intrinsic structural and physiochemical properties of Ag NPs were investigated and demonstrated their applicability in biomedicine. The IR data revealed the capping of organic molecules from plant extract. Further, the fluorescence studies were carried and found the molecules exhibit excitation at 400 nm. The biological studies demonstrate that these Ag NPs exhibit the good to excellent anti-bacterial character against Klebsiella pneumonia and E. coli.
