A Study on the applications of Silver nanoparticles synthesized usingaqueous extract and purified secondary metabolites of seaweed Hypneacervicornis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract:Seaweeds are commonly referred to as macroalgae and are plant like organisms that live attached to rock or any other hard substrata. They are one among the commercially important sources which possess the ability to synthesize numerous secondary metabolites that have wide applications in the field of medicine as anti-inflammatory or anticancer agents. They are also widely utilized in the production of polysaccharides such as carrageenan, fucoidan etc., and have both therapeutic as well as industrial applications. The Present study was carried out on the synthesis, characterization and applications of silver nanoparticle using the aqueous extract and the individual purified compounds of Seaweed Hypneacervicornis. The Silver nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by means of UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy. The applications of these nanoparticles were determined by studying their antimicrobial, antioxidant and antidiabetic activity. Not much work has been reported before on the nanoparticle synthesis using the individual secondary compounds from seaweed Hypneacervicornis so this study was one such attempt to identify the stabilizing and reducing ability of the secondary compounds in the synthesis of silver nanoparticle that could prove to be useful to the mankind for different applications
