Abstract

The plant situated in rare area for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles, especially it shows great efficiency in biological activity. Due of its eco-friendly and quick synthesis processes, plant-mediated nanoparticle synthesis is currently gaining significant attention. The utilization of Morinda citrifolia bark aqueous extract is the main focus of the current investigation. in the process of turning aqueous silver nitrate into silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). An examination of the extract's phytochemistry suggests its potential as medicine. Protein and ascorbic acid levels in the produced silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were also examined. By using FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy, the AgNPs were identified. SEM pictures showed the presence of different sizes and forms. In this study, we also looked at the antibacterial and anticancer properties of AgNPs produced sustainably. The goal of the current study was to create and describe silver nanoparticles.

Conclusion

It has been proven that Morinda citrifolia bark extract can be used to create silver nanoparticles. The purpose of this inquiry is to assess how well the method for creating AgNPs from Morinda citrifolia works. This approach is straight forward, affordable, non-toxic, and effective. Nanoparticles produced by medicinal plants exhibit more benefit because the medicinally advantageous active proteins in the plants may bind to the surface of the nanoparticles and reduce the silver ions to silver nanoparticles. They might enhance the silver nanoparticles' antibacterial properties. It has been proven that extract from the bark of Morinda citrifolia can be used to create silver nanoparticles. This investigation's goal is to assess how well Morinda cirrifolia is used in the process of creating AgNPs. This process is easy, affordable, non-toxic, and effective. Silver nanoparticles produced by medicinal plants have more benefits and may increase the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles because the medicinally advantageous active biomolecules present in plants may bind to the surface of the nanoparticles and reduce the silver ions to silver nanoparticles.
