Green Synthesis and Conjugation of Silver Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Analysis
Keywords:
Antimicrobial, Biomedical applications, Nanparticles, nanomedicine, AgNPsAbstract
Nanoparticles have become increasingly important as biomedicines within the field of health biotechnology, with transition metals playing a crucial role in various biological applications and the advancement of nanotechnology. Among the diverse range of metallic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) stand out due to their remarkable contributions to biomedical applications. Silver nanoparticles are particularly significant as they offer a non-toxic, inorganic alternative to traditional antibiotics, acting as potent antibacterial agents. This unique property makes them highly valuable in the fight against microbial infections, especially given the growing concern over antibiotic resistance. The primary objective of this study is to develop a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles. This is achieved by conjugating silver nanoparticles with extracts from plants such as mint, neem, and ginger. This green synthesis approach not only leverages the natural antimicrobial properties of these plant extracts but also enhances the overall effectiveness of the silver nanoparticles. By combining these natural extracts with silver nanoparticles, we aim to create a powerful antimicrobial agent that can be used in various biomedical applications, offering a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics and advancing the field of nanomedicine.
