Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Paederia foetida L. Leaf Extract and Assessment of Their Antimicrobial Activities

TLDR
In this paper, the authors used Paederia foetida L. leaf extract as a reducing cum stabilizing agent to synthesize silver nanoparticles, which showed excellent antibacterial activity against different gram classes of bacteria and would be a promising candidate for various pharmaceutical, biomedical and environmental applications.
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from AgNO3 through a reliable, eco-friendly and simple green route using Paederia foetida L. leaf extract as a reducing cum stabilizing agent. UV-Visible Spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis were used for characterization of silver nanoparticles. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were spherical in shape with size range of 4–15 nm. The nanoparticles were face-centered cubic crystal structure. The adopted technique for silver nanoparticle synthesis is suitable for large-scale production. The as-prepared silver nanoparticles revealed excellent antibacterial activity against different gram classes of bacteria and would be a promising candidate for various pharmaceutical, biomedical, and environmental applications.
