Momordica Cymbalaria Plant Tubers Using Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Applied for The Biological Activity (original) (raw)

JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The present works at an aqueous extract of fresh fruits of Momordica cymbalaria is used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), due to their applied for the biological activity in four pathogens. The tuber of Momordica cymbalaria plant belongs to the family Cucurbitaceace, the plant contains many medicinal property and nutritious plant. The tuber extract is to treat the diabetes, rheumatism, ulcer, diarrhea, skin diseases and abortion. The fruit extract has a lot of nutrients present like vitamins, calcium, potassium, sodium, antioxidants, flavanoids, saponin, cucubritacins, and quercetin. The silver nanoparticles synthesis method is a biological method, its cost effective and ecofriendly in the environment. After the synthesized NPs are characterized through XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis and SEM analysis. The UV visible spectroscopy, the strong and sharp absorption peak presents at 428 nm and the FTIR region of finger printing atunique presence of bioactive compounds which play a key role in reduction of Ag NPs. The XRD results reveals that the spherical in shape and size of the Ag NPs is 71 nm and the hkl planes are compared to the International card no (JCPDS 04-0783). The particle size of the SEM results of shape of the particles is spherical shape and the size of the particle is 5 nm. Finally the synthesized nanoparticles are applied for antibacterial activity.
