Synthesis and enhanced antibacterial using plant extracts with silver nanoparticles: Therapeutic application

This study evaluated the antimicrobial and therapeutic properties of plant extracts and silver nanoparticles. The silver nitrate nanoparticles developed from plant extracts like Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), Spearmint (Mentha spicata), Neem (Azadirachta indica) (TSNLs) leaves have shown strong applications as the agent for stabilizing the TSNLs extracts. The maximum amounts of volatile compounds are present in the Beta-Caryophyllene, Car-vone and Phytol of Tulsi, Spearmint and Neem extracts. Optimal extract absorption of the TSNLs extracts was determined in 0.03 mol/L, individually, with 0.951% yield recorded. The TEM analysis of silver nitrate nano-particles were done in an average diameter of 10 nm. A crystal magnitude of 12 nm was considered in the XRD investigation. In the TSNLs leaf extracts at 92.1667 & PLUSMN; 0.3626%, FTIR analysis showed no chemical connections with the covering element. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were employed to evaluate the antibac-terial activities of the silver nanoparticles. In these samples, antimicrobial properties were evaluated in a gram negative and gram-positive microbes and fungal strains. The results showed that the nanoparticles made with TSNLs had produced quick natural control against pests and microbes, showing promising applications against pathogenic and spoilage microbes. The results also showed that these antimicrobial properties can be further improved through increasing the levels of the nanoparticle formulations.

Automated summary

This study evaluated the antimicrobial and therapeutic properties of plant extracts and silver nanoparticles, with TSNLs developed from Tulsi, Spearmint, and Neem leaves showing promising applications. The silver nanoparticles exhibited quick natural control against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting potential for further improvement in antimicrobial properties through nanoparticle formulations.
