Abstract
Background: Silver nanoparticles and their potential applications in cancer diagnostics and therapy have been studied. The biological activity of AgNPs is dependent on surface chemistry, particle size, size distribution, particle shape, and particle composition. Nanoparticles' physicochemical qualities are crucial to their behavior, safety, and efficacy.
Aim: To prepare and evaluate the properties of silver nanoparticles obtained for ethanol and aqueous extracts of tarragon.
Materials and Methods: Tarragon was powdered and 3 gms of Tarragon was added to 100ml of water and ethanol, separately.It was kept in shaker for 24 hours in 40 degree Celsius.It is filtered and solution is stored in 50 ml cc tube beaker. 40 mM solution of silver nitrate was added and 3 ml of of the extract was added. The red wine color change was seen in the solution.Characterization is performed using a variety of analytical techniques including UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Result: AgNP synthesis was suggested by the solution’s gradual transformation to a wine-like hue. UV-visible spectroscopy was an effective technique for the preliminary confirmation of nanoparticle
production. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of tarragon is more effective as compared to aqueous extract and it showed better antimicrobial activities.Silver nanoparticles have been discussed and focussed on potential applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy. The biological activity of AgNPs depends on factors including surface chemistry, size, size distribution, shape, particle composition. The physicochemical(Abd-Elsalam, 2021) properties of nanoparticles are important to their behavior, safety and efficacy.
