Abstract
Recent trends in green chemistry highlight the increasing importance of environmentally friendly nanoparticle synthesis. Recent studies highlight the environmental advantages and industrial potential of biogenic synthesis pathways. Silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) production was carried out using V. splendidum aqueous extract (VSE) by green synthesis, which is an environmentally friendly, cheap, and easily applicable method. In the content of VSE determined by the LC-MS/MS system, it was determined that the species responsible for the stabilization of AgNPs were phenolic acid and flavonoids. The formation of AgNPs was understood from the surface plasma resonance peak at 402 nm and the peaks showing the face-centered cubic silver crystalline structure in X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The peaks observed belonging to phytochemicals in the FTIR spectrum showed that they were responsible for the stability of AgNPs. Phytochemicals surrounding VS-AgNPs caused a decrease in cytotoxicity. It was determined that the cytotoxic effects of VS-AgNPs on L929 cells started at a concentration of 50 μg/mL, while VSE started at a concentration of 1000 μg/mL indicating that the antimicrobial effect of VS-AgNPs was stronger than the plant extract VSE. The inhibition zone of VS-AgNPs against S. aureus strain was found to be 17.73 ± 1.19 mm, while the inhibition zone of VSE was found to be 9.66 ± 1.13 mm. The wound closure rate in VSE-applied cells was approximately 94 %, which was higher than the control group data. VS-AgNPs had no significant wound-healing effect. Finally, the photocatalytic effect of VS-AgNPs on the degradation of methylene blue dye was determined to be approximately 72 % after 3 h. These data indicate that VS-AgNPs may be a good alternative for environmental applications due to their antimicrobial effects and less cytotoxicity towards healthy cells.
