Synthesis of Evolvulus alsinoides derived gold nanoparticles for medical applications
Journal Title: International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Plant mediated synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an increasing commercial demand due to the wide applicability in various areas such as electronics, catalysis, chemistry, energy, cosmetics and medicine. This is greatly due to their special features, which include unusual optical and electronic properties, high stability and biological compatibility, controllable morphology and size dispersion, and easy surface functionalization. In the present investigation, synthesis of gold nanoparticle is done by using leaf extracts of Evolvulus alsinoides. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were characterized by using UV visible absorption spectra. Their morphology, elemental composition and crystalline phase were determined by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and FT-IR analysis was used to confirm the presence of gold nanoparticles in the extracts. The plant derived gold nanoparticles were also showing more inhibition activity in both bacterial and fungus strains. In bacteria, gram negative strains are highly affected by the test samples than gram positive. In fungal strains, the highest effect was noticed in Trichophyton rubrum while less effect was observed in Candida albicans.
