ABSTRACT: During the present investigations attempt was made to the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using root extract of Aerva tomentosa Forsk. and to analyze its antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Exposure of the root extract of Aerva tomentosa to aqueous AgNO3 resulted in the formation of silver nanoparticles. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and was characterized by X-ray diffractometer. The bactericidal activity of silver nanoparticles against Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas putida was determined using bacterial growth inhibition method. The antioxidant study of silver nanopartcles was analyzed by the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging method. The synthesis of AgNPs via this green approach by Aerva tomentosa root extract were average size particles and crystalline in nature. The synthesized silver nanoparticles with two concentrations (0.01g/100µl) and (0.005g/100µl) exhibited high antibacterial activity in terms of maximum zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas putida. Silver nanoparticles also showed significant antioxidant activity. There was a dose-dependent increase in the percent antioxidant activity for all concentrations (80, 160, 240, and 320 μg/ml of AgNPs) tested. Owing to its good antibacterial and antioxidant activity, present study supports that AgNPs might be used as potential antibacterial and antioxidant drug in traditional medicine to treat various diseases.

INTRODUCTION: Nanoparticle research is an area of immense scientific research due to a wide range of potential applications in biomedical, optical, and electronic fields. AgNPs have received enormous attention due to their defense against micro-organisms as well as drug resistance against some frequently used antibiotics 1. The nano-particles from a medicinally important plant has the upper hand as medicinal properties are added to synthesized particles.
The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their application in biomedical sciences additionally contribute to the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties 2, 3. These advan-tageous properties of AgNPs have been integrated into commercially available wound dressings, pharmaceutical preparations, and medical implant coatings 4, 5, 6. There are several reports on the synthesis of AgNPs using micro-organisms and plants as reducing agents 7, 8. The green synthetic route holds better chances as it is cost-effective and environment friendly compared to chemical and physical methods 9, 10.
Plant extract-driven green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been studied in plants like Brillantaisia patula, Crossopteryx febrifuga and Senna siamea, 11 Lysimachia foenum-graecum, 12 Citrus, 13 Impatiens balsamina and Lantana camara, 14 Myrtus communis, 15 Memecyclon edule, 16 Calicarpa maingayi, 17 Terminalia chebula, 18 Trachyspermum ammi, and Papaver somniferum, 19 Bahunia variegate, 20 Hevea brasiliensis, 21 Aloe vera, 22 Tea leaf 23 and Cestrum nocturnum, 24 Cassia angustifolia, 25 Hibiscus rosa-sinensis,26 Sorbus aucuparia, 27 Cinnamomum camphora, 28 Citrullus colocynthis, 29 Catharanthus roseus, 30 Aerva lanata, 31 Aerva javanica 32. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the synthesis of AgNPs using Aerva tomentosa root.
Aerva tomentosa Forsk. is a common wayside weed-grown mostly on the waste place and found on the plains of the warmer parts of India includes Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, and Central India, excluding India it’s occur in Burma, Baluchistan, Ceylon and in tropical Africa, commonly known as Bui/Boi/Bur 33. In Ayurveda medicine, it is used as one of the best remedies for kidney and bladder stone 34 diarrhea and dysentery 35 and toothache 36, 37. The plant contains a number of galactosides, flavanol glycosides, amyrin, and sitosterol 38, 39 and showed significant antimicrobial activity against gm-ve bacteria 40.
The ethnobotanical study indicated that all parts of A. tomentosa have diverse applications in folk medicine to treat various diseases 41, 42. The root extract has high amounts of alkaloids and saponins, compared to the aerial parts contained triterpenes and flavonoids in abundance 43. Moreover, root extract qualitative phytochemical analysis A. tomentosa showed the presence of carbohydrates, flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, and tannins. The flavonoids and tannins content have antiulcer properties and can be used for antiulcer drugs 44, 45. Likewise, A. lanata root analysis showed a rich source of natural antioxidants, contains medicinally important bioactive compounds 46. Therefore, owing to ethanobotanical aspect of A. tomentosa root, the present study was undertaken to the synthesis of AgNPs and further analyzed its antibacterial and antioxidant activity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Preparation of the Root Extract: A. tomentosa roots were collected from nearby areas and washed with tap and distilled water, respectively, to get rid of all unwanted visible particles. After that, the root was cut into small pieces and oven-dried at room temperature. About 1g of the finely incised root was put into 250 ml beakers containing 100 ml of distilled water and boiled it for about 20 min. The extract was then filtered (Whatman filter paper no. 1) to remove particulate matter and to get clear solutions which was then refrigerated at 4 °C.
Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNP): Silver nitrate (AgNO3) aqueous solution (1mM) was prepared in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask, and root extract was added for reduction of AgNO3 into AgNPs. To avoid photoactivation of AgNO3, a reaction was performed in darkness at room temperature. Suitable controls were maintained all throughout the conduction of experiments. Following the centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 20 min, the pellets of AgNP were re-dispersed into de-ionized water. The purified AgNPs recovered after freeze-drying was confirmed using UV-VIS double beam spectrophotometer in UV-VIS spectra between wavelengths of 300 to700 nm.
Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles:
Analysis of Bacterial Growth Inhibition Method: The inoculation of different bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Bacillus thuringensis, Bacillus subtillis, and Pseudomonas putida) were swabbed onto a nutrient agar plate and incubated at 37 ºC for 24 h. The testing solution (AgNPs) was applied in two different concentrations [(0.01g/ 100µl) and (0.005g/100µl)]. The disc diffusion method was used for bacterial growth analysis 47, 48. The maximum zone (in mm) of bacterial growth inhibition was recorded to analyze bacterial growth.
Antioxidant Activity of Silver Nanoparticles:
DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) Method: The DPPH free radical scavenging method was performed according to previously described by Eshwarappa et al., (2014) 49. Different concen-trations (80, 160, 240, and 320 μg/ml) of AgNPs were prepared by adding AgNps to DPPH solutions and incubated in the dark for 25 min at room temperature. The absorbance of AgNPs and ascorbic acid (Standard) were observed at 517nm by UV-VIS double beam spectrophotometer. Using the given equation 1, the percent inhibition of DPPH free radicals was calculated.
Inhibition (%) = Pc – Ps × 100 / Ps …..Eq 1
Where Pc - absorbance of the control, Ps - absorption of AgNPs /Ascorbic acid
RESULTS:
Characterization of AgNPs:
UV-VIS Spectra Analysis: The conversion in mixture color from faint light to yellowish-brown signalized the formation of AgNPs as soon as root extract of A. tomentosa was mixed with Agno3 Fig. 1B. The synthesis was confirmed by UV-VIS spectrum between wavelengths of 300 to 700 nm in a double beam spectrophotometer. The characteristic absorbance peak was observed at 443 nm Fig. 1A. This absorbance peak further confirmed the presence of silver nanoparticles in the samples.

FIG. 1B: SILVER NANOPARTICLES
X-ray Diffraction Analysis: XRD patterns of the synthesized AgNPs exhibited distinguished diffraction peaks of silver metal at 2θ = 38.45o, 45.04o and 53.90o Fig. 2, which indicated the presence of the fcc (face-centered cubic) crystalline phase of the AgNPs that resembles to the standard JCPDS File No. 00-004-0783 of the metallic silver. The absence of unwanted peaks confirmed the phase purity of the AgNPs.
The hump in the diffractogram is associated with the glass substrate since the sample was dried on a glass substrate before XRD analysis. The results expressed that the Ag+ ions were reduced to Ag+ by A. tomentosa plant extract under suitable reaction conditions.

Analysis of Antibacterial Property: It was observed that the maximum zone of inhibition was obtained against Escherichia coli followed by Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas putida in concentration A (0.01g/-100µl).
This pattern of zone of inhibition varied with concentration B (0.005g/100µl) where, the maximum zone of inhibition was found in Pseudomonas putida followed by Bacillus thuringiensis, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis Fig. 3, Table 1.

DISCUSSION: The present research findings revealed AgNPs synthesis via green route utilizing A. tomentosa root extracts. Exposure of root extract to aqueous AgNO3 resulted in the formation of silver nanoparticles. The color change from faint light to yellowish-brown reflected the reduction of silver nitrates into the silver nanoparticles Fig. 1B. Moreover, UV-VIS spectra between 300-700 nm and characteristic absorbance peak at 443 nm confirmed the AgNPs synthesis Fig. 1A. Green synthetic methods have the edge over chemical and physical methods in terms of their cost-effectiveness and ecofriendly nature 9, 10. The crystalline nature of silver nanoparticles was further confirmed by XRD results Fig. 2. The antibacterial activity proved that silver nanoparticles showed significant antibacterial activity. The AgNPs concentrations A (0.01g/100µl) and B ((0.005g/100µl) showed maximum zone of inhibition against the Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida, respectively Fig. 3, Table 1. The antibacterial activity, also confirmed by findings reported previously by many researchers 35, 36. Moreover, it has been investigated earlier that A. tomentosa root extract showed antibacterial activity up to a certain extent in comparison to aerial parts 37. The DPPH method proved that silver nanoparticles have antioxidant scavenging activities. It has also been observed that the antioxidant activity was in a concentration-dependent manner37 Fig. 4, Table 2. The antioxidant activity was due to the presence of photochemical in the form of flavonoids and phenolic content 50, 51, 52.
CONCLUSION: Current study reveals the successful synthesis of AgNPs via the biological green method using root extract of Aerva tomentosa. The synthesized AgNPs have strong antibacterial activity against the selected bacteria. Moreover, AgNPs also exhibit significant DPPH radical scavenging activity. These antibacterial and antioxidant activities with other known traditional medicinal values of root extract of A. tomentosa when blended in green synthesized AgNPs, might be used as a potent drug to treat various diseases.
