Abstract

Background: Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles with enhanced pharmacological effects is of great interest for the development of new antimicrobial agents. Current study reports the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of silver nanoparticles showing better results than plant extract. Results: The formation of synthesized nanoparticles, observed by UV-Visible spectroscopy exposed the Surface Plasmon Resonance at 449 nm and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis carried out and revealed the formation of AgNPs. Nanoparticles are spherical in shape having the size of 16 ± 2 nm. Conclusions: The EAL-AgNPs prepared in this study demonstrate better pharmacological actions in in-vitro studies.
