This study reports the single step; eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Tridax procumbens plant extracts with different extract concentrations (10 mL to 40 mL). The aqueous extract of Tridax procumbens showed significant potential for the fast reduction of silver ions without using any external agents. XRD pattern of Ag-NPs was indexed to face-centered cubic structure. The structural parameters of silver nanoparticles have been estimated and grain size ranged from 21 nm to 44 nm. The UV-vis absorbance spectrum was observed at 424 nm. The FT-IR analysis confirmed the secondary metabolites bind on surface of the AgNPs. SEM studies concluded morphological transformation of surface of the silver nanoparticles. Silver nanospheres were transformed in to rectangular silver nanosheets by increasing the extract concentration. Elemental silver formations were confirmed by EDAX studies. The antibacterial efficacies of synthesized nanosilver were carried out against different human bacterial pathogens and found to show significant activity. Bio-synthesis of Ag-NPs using Tridax procumbens appears to be cost effective, biodegradable and an alternative to conventional synthesis methods.","PeriodicalId":23586,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5,Issue 1,2019","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82054592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It provides new direction in medical diagnosis, monitoring and treatment at the level of single molecules or molecular assemblies at the “nano” scale. Additionally, continuing improvement in the pharmacological and therapeutic properties of drugs is driving the revolution in novel drug delivery systems. Nanomedicine is widely explored nowadays for treatment of life threatening diseases, yet comes with various challenges and questions. The present study encapsulates the acute toxicological aspects of the Andrographis paniculata coupled with silver nanoparticles (AP-Ag NP). For acute toxicity studies according to OCED (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) guidelines Swiss Albino male mice (6-7 weeks) were used and were given single intraperitoneal dose of 2000 and 5000 mg/kg body weight of the AP-Ag nanoparticle and were observed for mortality and other side effects for 14 days. The individual components of the formulation, viz. silver oxide in surface modified nano form and at low dose, and Andrographis paniculata are both biocompatible materials. No changes were found for general appearance, behavior and body weight, thus concluding that the nanocomposite formulation does not have a single dose toxicity.","PeriodicalId":23586,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5,Issue 1,2019","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89931580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prepared nanocrystalline NiO films were characterized using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and optical measurement techniques. XRD patterns reveal the cubic structure for all the samples and the crystallite size varies with the thickness. FESEM images confirmed that all the films are homogeneous, without any crack, dense and exhibit almost complete coverage of the substrate. The optical parameters such as transmittance, absorption coefficient and energy band gap of the films as a function of film thickness was investigated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The band gap of the films is found to be direct allowed transition and the variation of band gap values of nanocrystalline NiO thin films were found to be in the range of 3.48 eV to 3.53 eV.","PeriodicalId":23586,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5,Issue 1,2019","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76803603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
