Abstract
Bioactivity Studies of Datura metel, Aegle marmelos, Annona reticulata and Saraca indica and their Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticle
Highlights
In the recent days, the awareness on the treasury that is the plant kingdom, which is flooded with such potential drugs has increased[1]
The extracts were done with TLC bioautography for Antioxidant activity and Antibacterial activity, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, Antibacterial activity, Antioxidant activity (DPPH and FRAP) and Phytochemical analysis
Plants used in this study showed antibacterial and antioxidant activity
Summary
The awareness on the treasury that is the plant kingdom, which is flooded with such potential drugs has increased[1]. Medicinal plants are known for their tremendous application in the medicinal world since long ago These plants act as antimicrobial compounds and suppress peroxidation by reacting with free radicals expressing anti-oxidant activity. Plant metabolites are responsible for the formation of silver ions by reducing silver nitrate[4] With these evidences, the present investigation focuses on the understanding of the bioactivity of selected four medicinal plants viz., Datura metel, Aegle marmelos, Annona reticulata and Saraca indica, the utilization of extracts of the same for silver nanoparticle production, the characterization of the nanoparticles produced and their antibacterial effect. Plant powder was extracted with three solvents, namely Water, Ethanol and Chloroform. The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles was evaluated against the gramnegative bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa by following Saravanakumar et al.[25]
