| Popis: | There are many metal nanoparticles, usually formed in the range of 1 to 100 nm size. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have the unique properties of silver ions and hence are useful in molecular diagnostics, in therapies, as well as in devices that are used in several medical procedures. The use of plants in the production of AgNPs has drawn attention due to their rapid, eco-friendly, non-pathogenic, economical protocol, and a single-step technique for the biosynthetic processes. Though till date, many researchers have explored biosynthesis of nanoparticles using different species belonging to Lamiaceae. Orthosyphan rubicundas is the plant chosen from this family for the study as it is wildly grown in the as a weed and rarely studied in the nanoparticle synthesis.The silver-based compounds were used as known as non-toxic inorganic antibacterial agents expressing their biocidal properties in many application. For characterization of AgNPs, the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles were studied, which explained the detailed result of their behaviour, efficacy, safety, and biodistribution. Characterization is performed using a variety of analytical techniques, mainly including X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). |
