In vitro biological activities of silver nanoparticles using methanolic leaf extract of Plumeria rubra.

ABSTRACT: Plant phytochemicals play an immense role in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, and the quality of phytochemicals used in the synthesis depends on the extraction method, solvent, temperature, etc. An extensive number of studies were carried out on the extraction of phytochemicals using aqueous extract during the synthesis of nanomaterials. Compared to distilled water, methanol can extract diverse phytochemicals at lower temperatures, and very few studies were done on this. Therefore, the present study aims to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the methanolic extract of Plumeria rubra (PR) leaves. The successful synthesis of AgNPs was achieved by reducing Ag⁺ ions using PR extract. The phytochemistry of PR extract was observed using qualitative screening, Fourier transform inf
