Nanotechnology finds broad applications in the field of nanomedicine, an emerging new field used for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of diseases, and improvement of health.
To synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from and and to carry out their antimicrobial, insecticidal, and phytotoxic activities, a step toward the new range of nanomedicines.
Silver nanoparticles were synthesized from and by chemical reduction method, and further biological activities of these nanoparticles were compared with crude methanolic extract, prepared through cold maceration process, at the concentration of 50 mg/ml.
Among all tested bacterial pathogens, crude extract of showed a statistically high significant inhibition zone in millimeter against (21; < 0.01). AgNPs showed highly significant result against (14; < 0.01). In comparison with crude extracts, AgNPs showed statistically significant ( < 0.01) results against (AgNPs, 14; crude, 8.33 mm). Crude extract showed significant inhibition zone against two bacterial strains, (crude, 21; AgNPs, 11.67 mm) and (crude, 11.33; AgNPs, 8 mm). Crude extracts of showed the significant activity against ( < 0.01; 11.33 mm). Silver nanoparticles of exhibited the highest significant activity against and while AgNPs of were active only against . Extracts of and showed increasing phytotoxic activity with increasing concentrations. The highest significant inhibition was obtained for crude extract (46.7) and AgNPs (45.7) of at 1000 g/ml. Insecticidal activity of crude and AgNPs of both plants showed significant inhibition against all tested insects with increasing time intervals, and the highest significant result was obtained at 72 hours with a value of < 0.01 except .
Both crude and AgNPs showed potent activity; however, in comparison, silver nanoparticles showed slightly enhanced activity. Crude and AgNPs of both plants showed good phytotoxic and insecticidal inhibition. Antimicrobial studies of AgNPs on diseases causing pathogens open a door for new antimicrobial agents and could be the answer to antibiotic resistance after further analysis.
