Abstract:

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) represent one of the most promising and extensively studied nanomaterials due to their unique physicochemical properties and wide-ranging applications in the nanotechnology domain. They have demonstrated significant utility in biomedical fields, catalysis, antimicrobial activity, bio sensing, electronics, optical devices, bio-labelling, and agriculture. Among various synthesis approaches, green synthesis has emerged as a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for the production of AgNPs. The antioxidant and anti-cancer efficacy of AgNPs is primarily attributed to the release of silver ions, which interact with injected cells. The present study aimed to Phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extract of Kydia calycina as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, providing a cost-effective and non-hazardous alternative to conventional methods. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by adding 1 mM silver nitrate (AgNO?) solution to the aqueous leaf extract of Kydia calycina. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs was evaluated anti-oxidant and anticancer activities. Characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles was performed using UV–Visible spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR).


Keywords: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), Kydia calycina, antibacterial activity, antioxidant and anticancer activities
