Phytosynthesis of Eco-Friendly Silver Nanoparticles Using Lawsonia Innermis (L) and Their Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Background: The present study, plant extract to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), is an environmentally benign way to lessen the use of dangerous chemicals. Aims and Objectives: The antibacterial effects of the green production of AgNPs by Lawsonia inermis extract were examined. Materials and Methods: Utilizing scanning, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy, researchers examined the physical and chemical characteristics of synthesized AgNPs. Results: Ag-NPs have the highest peak in visible light at 460 nm, according to UV-vis analysis. When silver nanocrystals were structurally characterized, peaks that matched Bragg’s diffractions were found, with average crystallite sizes ranging from 28 to 60 nm. Examining Ag-NPs’ antibacterial properties, it was shown that all microbes are extremely sensitive to these biologically produced Ag-NPs. Conclusion: Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus were tested for the antimicrobial properties of AgNPs synthesized.
