Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Reactive Water-Ethanol Extracts from Murraya paniculata

Abstract

Using the radiation-chemical simulation method of free radical reactions with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, we were able to show high antiradical activity of water-ethanol extracts from Murraya paniculata. This will allow for the creation of new bioactive antioxidants based on them. The formation of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) was determined using the silver-ion reduction process by M. paniculata extracts. A band of electronic plasmon resonance was identified in the optical absorption spectra of hydrosols of Ag-NP using extracts of dried M. paniculata leaves. A decrease in the number of Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells after introduction into the Ag-NP system synthesized by the reduction of silver cations using M. paniculata extracts indicates their moderate antimicrobial activity.
