Abstract
Nanoparticles are particles of any shape with size ranging from 10 to 100 nm. Synthesis of metal nanoparticle is a single step process, which is inexpensive and eco-friendly method. Metals such as silver, zinc and copper can be used for the production of nanoparticles. Tabernaemontana divericata have been reported to exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor and analgesic effect. It's used for wound healing and treatment of various diseases like skin diseases, aches, ascaris, scabies eye diseases and pain. Nanoparticles of silver, zinc and copper were biosynthesised from the stem extract of Tabarnaemontana divaricata. Characterization studies were carried out using UV spectrophotometer, FTIR & SEM analysis. The nanoparticle were tested for it potential antibacterial activities. Among the three, AgNPs nanoparticle exhibited more antimicrobial activity than the CuNPs, and ZnNPs. The biomolecules in T. divericata stem extract with the potential to reduce and cap the bio reduced AgNPs were assessed with FTIR spectral measurements.
