Green synthesis and evaluation of anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic activities of silver nanoparticles from Argyreia nervosa leaf extract: An invitro study

The aim of the study is to develop an environmentally friendly development of isolating silver nanoparticles using Argyreia nervosa plant leaves and examine their potential pharmacological properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic activities. Various analytical techniques were employed to examine the isolated silver nanoparticles, encompassing UV spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, zeta potential measurement, and particle size determination. Furthermore, Argyreia nervosa-mediated silver nano-particles exhibited strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activity, and good anti-diabetic activity. Argyreia nervosa-mediated nanoparticles showed a significant antibacterial activity against selected pathogens. The findings indicate that Argyreia nervosa demonstrates encouraging pharmacological properties. However, additional in vivo research focusing on molecular-level investigations is necessary to substantiate these findings and explore the potential of Argyreia nervosa-mediated silver nanoparticles as a viable drug for antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-diabetic purposes.

Automated summary

This study aims to develop an environmentally friendly method for isolating silver nanoparticles and investigate their pharmacological properties. The isolated silver nanoparticles using Argyreia nervosa plant leaves showed strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic activities, as well as significant antibacterial activity against selected pathogens. However, further in vivo research is needed to verify these findings and explore the potential of Argyreia nervosa-mediated silver nanoparticles as a viable drug.
