Abstract

Introduction: Silver Nanoparticles are important materials that have been studied extensively. They have unique physical, chemical and biological properties such as potential Antibacterial activity. They can be synthesized by several physical, chemical methods. However, these methods are not environmentally friendly. Therefore, it is desirable to develop an eco-friendly method such as utilizing the biological species plant extracts for the synthesis of various environmental friendly metal Nanoparticles. In addition, the integration of green chemistry principles into nanotechnology is essential. The biomolecules found in plants induce the reduction of Ag ions from silver nitrate to AgNPs. The process of reduction is extra cellular and fast leading to the development of easy Biosynthesis of silver Nanoparticle. The green synthesis of AgNPs using plants [6][11] have been before reported. Plant extract have been used as a natural reductant to produce green, non-toxic and environmentally friendly silver Nano particles. Materials And Methods: to Biosynthesis silver Nanoparticles, Amaranthus retroflexus Leaf extract was used as reductant and stabilizer agent. The effect of various parameters such as pH of the reaction solution, contact time, ratio of extract to silver nitrate solution on the synthesis of silver Nanoparticles was studied. For reduction of silver ions, 1 mM silver nitrate was added to the weed leaves extracts with different ratio (v/v) of extract to silver nitrate with constant stirring under room temperature. The final nano-colloidal solution was subjected to repeat centrifugation (thrice) to get rid of any uninteracted biological molecules at 12, 000 rpm for 15 min and the pellet were dried in vacuum oven. Formation of Nanoparticles in the silver nitrate solution primarily was detected using UV-vis spectrometer (wavelength range 200 to 800 nm). The morphology of the Nanoparticles studied using transmission electron microscopy. The crystalline structure of Nanoparticles was studied by XRD and functional groups responsible for the reduction and stabilization of silver Nanoparticles was evaluated using FT-IR spectroscopy. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was used as a sample bacteria for Antibacterial studies. The Antibacterial activity of AgNPs was investigated against gram negative drug resistant P. aeruginosa. For this reason, various concentrations of AgNPs from 400 to 1. 56 µ g/ml were incubated with cells of pathogenic bacteria in liquid medium. Growth of bacterial cells at the presence of AgNPs was compared with the growth of bacterial cells (positive control) in the absence of NPs. percentage of bacterial growth inhibition was evaluated at different AgNPs concentrations and MIC was determined against P. aeruginosa. Results: The results of TEM showed that the Nanoparticles were spherical and monodispersed with the particle size between 2 and 30 nm. The maximum Nanoparticles synthesis occurs in silver nitrate to extract ratio (v / v) of 0. 1, pH 9 and reaction time of 240 minutes. The FTIR result indicated the involvement of amides, carboxyl, amino groups and amino acid residues present in Leaf extract in the NP synthesis. The XRD confirmed the structure of silver as a face-centered cubic structure [14]. Therefore, the XRD data clearly demonstrated the presence and crystal structure of the silver in the A. retroflexus Leaf extract. Growth of bacterial cells was completely inhibited at the 200 µ g/ml of AgNPs considered as the MIC. The Antibacterial activity of AgNPs compared favorably with standard antibiotics including ciprofloxacin and cephtazidim. MIC of ciprofloxacin toward tested pathogen were 0. 125 µ g/ml which shows stronger antimicrobial activity in comparison with AgNPs. In contrast, only 50% of bacterial growth inhibition was observed at the 256 µ g/ml of cephtazidim. Thus, the Antibacterial activity of AgNPs was stronger than cephtazidim against P. aeruginosa. Leaves extract alone did not display any antimicrobial activity against tested microorganism. Conclusion: AgNPs were successfully synthesized using Amaranthus retroflexus Leaf extract as a reducing and capping agents. The structural, morphological and elemental studies of biologically synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-vis spectrometery, atomic absorption, XRD, FTIR, and TEM. The presence of AgNPs (200 µ g/ml) was significantly reduced the cell viability of P. aeruginosa compared to control after 24 h incubation period. Biological synthesized silver Nanoparticles could be of immense use in the medical field for their efficient antimicrobial function.
