Abstract


Recently, nanosilver as a result of its unique features in terms of antimicrobial potentials has been generally accepted in the field of nanomedicine. This study aimed at optimising the biosynthesis of nanosilver using Nicotiana tabacum leaf aqueous extract. In the study, effect of parameters such as AgNO3 concentration (0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 1.00 and 1.20 mmoldm-3), volumes aqueous extract (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 cm3) and temperature (30, 40, 50 60, 70 and 800C) were investigated in the synthesis of nanoparticles. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were characterized by Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The hydroxyl (-OH) and amine (-NH2) functional groups of Nicotiana tabacum leaf extract were shown to be might involve in the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by FT-IR peaks at 3446.3 and 2877.63cm-1 respectively. Result showed the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Nicotiana tabacum is a clean, in expensive and safe method and consequently should have high antibacterial activity.
