Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2017 in the subject Chemistry - Bio-chemistry, Mansoura University, language: English, abstract: Forty-two medicinal plants were collected depending on their availability on Egypt. These plant were extracted and screened for their activity towards green synthesis of AgNPs. A new modified method was used in order to screen large number of extracts in short time (high throughput screening). In this method, the synthesized nanoparticles were evaluated in using 96-well plate which is transparent to facilitate the color monitoring and easy to be read spectrophotometrically using microplate reader. The green synthesis activity by the different plant extracts was monitored and evaluated by color change and UV-Vis absorption at time intervals. Out of these 42 plants, only 3 plants viz.,Pyllanthusemblicafruits, Psidium guajava leaves and Lawsoniainermisleaves, showed high AgNPs synthetic activity. The most active plant extracts were further partitioned with ethyl acetate. The results showed that the EtOAc fraction of the three active plants showed superior AgNPs green synthesis over their remaining aqueous. Thus, chromatographic columns were used to isolate the active compounds from the EtOAc fraction of each plant. Metal nanoparticles synthesis is a leading topic of research in modern material science owing to their distinctive potential applications in the field of electronic, optoelectronic, information storage and Health care. Among the all noble metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles are one the main products in the field of nanotechnology which has acquired limitless attention due to their unique properties such as chemical stability, good conductivity, catalytic and most important antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activities.

Download or read book Green Nanoparticles written by Jayanta Kumar Patra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology is the application of science to control matter at the molecular level. It has become one of the most promising applied technologies in all areas of science. Nanoparticles have multi-functional properties and have created very interesting applications in various fields such as medicine, nutrition, bioenergy, agriculture and the environment. But the biogenic syntheses of monodispersed nanoparticles with specific sizes and shapes have been a challenge in biomaterial science. Nanoparticles are of great interest due to their extremely small size and large surface-to-volume ratio, which lead to both chemical and physical differences in their properties (e.g., mechanical properties, biological and sterical properties, catalytic activity, thermal and electrical conductivity, optical absorption and melting point) compared to bulk of the same chemical composition. Recently, however, synthesizing metal nanoparticles using green technology via microorganisms, plants, viruses, and so on, has been extensively studied and has become recognized as a green and efficient way for further exploiting biological systems as convenient nanofactories. Thus the biological synthesis of nanoparticles is increasingly regarded as a rapid, ecofriendly, and easily scaled-up technology. Today researchers are developing new techniques and materials using nanotechnology that may be suitable for plants to boost their native functions. Recently, biological nanoparticles were found to be more pharmacologically active than physico-chemically synthesized nanoparticles. Various applications of biosynthesized nanoparticles have been discovered, especially in the field of biomedical research, such as applications to specific delivery of drugs, use for tumor detection, angiogenesis, genetic disease and genetic disorder diagnosis, photoimaging, and photothermal therapy. Further, iron oxide nanoparticles have been applied to cancer therapy, hyperthermia, drug delivery, tissue repair, cell labeling, targeting and immunoassays, detoxification of biological fluids, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetically responsive drug delivery therapy. Nanoparticle synthesis for plant byproducts for biomedical applications has vast potential. This book offers researchers in plant science and biomedicine the latest research and opportunity to develop new tools for the synthesis of environmentally friendly and cost-effective nanoparticles for applications in biomedicine as well as other various fields.
