Origanum vulgare L. extract-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles, their characterization and antibacterial activities.

Abstract:

:Plant extracts serve as reducing and coating agents and are, therefore, commonly employed for the generation of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs). Plant extract mediated synthesis of Ag NPs is a green, environmentally friendly and cost-effective technique which offers a new and potential alternative to chemically synthesized NPs, decreasing the utilization of hazardous and toxic chemicals and protecting the environment. Origanum vulgare L. extracts were evaluated for total flavonoid and phenol content. The free radical scavenging activity was determined employing 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. Ag NPs were produced exploiting ethanolic extracts of O. vulgare L. leaves. The generation of Ag NPs was carried out both in light and dark conditions. The biosynthesized Ag NPs were characterized employing microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Antibacterial activities of Ag NPs were determined following appropriate methods. The results revealed that energy of photons was required to reduce Ag+ to Ag0. According to scanning electron microscopy reports, biologically formed Ag NPs ranged in size from 1 to 50 nmand were presented instability causing aggregation. They indicated that O. vulgare L. extracts were rich in flavonoids and phenols and exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Ag NPs exhibited good antibacterial activity immediately after production. Gram-positive strains showed higher sensitivity to Ag NPs compared to Gram-negative stains. Ag NPs can serve as an effective antibacterial agent against antibiotic-resistant strains. The kanamycin-resistant strain was more sensitive to Ag NPs than the ampicillin-resistant strain. Thus, Origanum extract-mediated synthesized Ag NPs can be recommended as alternative effective antibacterial agents, but their activity depended on bacterial species and strains.
