Abstract
Nanotechnology is the integrative science in the field of physics, chemistry and biology. For the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, a simple approach was applied using Firmianacolorata (Roxb.) aqueous leaf extract. During the synthesis of this silver nanoparticle, the solution color changes from green to deep brown due to the reduction of silver. The phytocompounds present in the Firmianacolorata (Roxb.) leaf extract acts as a reducing as well as a capping agent. Identifying the presence of bioactive compounds responsible for the reduction of silver was extensively characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, SEM, and EDX. Moreover, to know the efficacy of the silver nanoparticles (AgNps) antioxidant and antimicrobial studies were evaluated against the human pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, GC-MS analysis of the leaf extract of Firmianacolorata has been done followed by the in-silico molecular docking against the Anti-inflammatory and oxidative protein. Here within this study, a comparative evaluation was done among the Firmianacolorata (Roxb.) leaf extract and the synthesized silver nanoparticles. Results indicate that ethnomedicinally lesser known Firmianacolorata (Roxb.) and AgNps have the potency to act as anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antimicrobial agents.
期刊介绍:
The overall aim of the International Nano Letters is to bring science and applications together on nanoscale and nanostructured materials with emphasis on synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of materials containing true nanosize dimensions or nanostructures that enable novel/enhanced properties or functions. It is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers. International Nano Letters is covering fundamental and applied research in all disciplines of science, engineering and medicine. INL publishes all aspects of nanoscale science and technology dealing with materials synthesis, processing, nanofabrication, nano-polymer, nano-catalyst, nano-particles, nano-probes, spectroscopy, properties, biological systems, nano-structures, theory and computation, nano-electronics, nano-optics, nano-mechanics, nano-devices, nano-detection, nano-biotechnology, nano-medicine, nano-drug delivery, nano-toxicology. All articles should emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of nanomaterials. All contributions will be peer reviewed.
