The aim of this study is to develop an easy and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of Ag-NPs using extracts from the medicinal plant, Millettia pinnata flower extract and investigate the effects of Ag-NPs on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), antibacterial and cytotoxicity activity. UV-Vis peak at 438 nm confirmed the Ag-NPs absorbance. The SEM analysis results confirmed the presence of spherical shaped Ag-NPs by a huge disparity in the particle size distribution with an average size of 49 ± 0.9 nm. TEM images revealed the formation of Ag-NPs with spherical shape and sizes in the range between 16 and 38 nm. The Ag-NPs showed an excellent inhibitory efficacy against AChE and BChE. The highest antibacterial activity was found against Escherichia coli (20.25 ± 0.91 mm). These nanoparticles showed the cytotoxic effects against brine shrimp (artemia saliana) nauplii with a LD value of 33.92.
本研究的目的是开发一种简便且环保的方法,利用药用植物翅荚决明花提取物合成银纳米颗粒,并研究银纳米颗粒对乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)、丁酰胆碱酯酶(BChE)、抗菌和细胞毒性活性的影响。438nm处的紫外可见峰证实了银纳米颗粒的吸光度。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析结果通过粒径分布的巨大差异证实了球形银纳米颗粒的存在,平均粒径为49±0.9nm。透射电子显微镜(TEM)图像显示形成了球形且尺寸在16至38nm之间的银纳米颗粒。银纳米颗粒对AChE和BChE表现出优异的抑制效果。对大肠杆菌的抗菌活性最高(20.25±0.91mm)。这些纳米颗粒对卤虫无节幼体表现出细胞毒性作用,半数致死剂量(LD)值为33.92。
