Abstract
The present investigation showed the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Ficus benghalensis (F. benghalensis) leaf extract. UV–Vis spectra of the biofabricated AgNPs displayed its maximum peak of absorption at 461 nm. High resolution-transmission electron microscopy images displayed the shape of AgNPs as spherical with an average diameter of 35 nm size. The analysis of X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of crystalline AgNPs. The analysis of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the existence of bioconstituents such as terpenoids, phenolics and flavonoids, which functions as bio-reducing agents. When compared with F. benghalensis extract, AgNPs displayed the considerably greater bioactivities. The exceptional antimicrobial functionalities of AgNPs against both the gram positive and gram negative bacteria makes them appropriate candidates for the production of antibiotics against the species that are resistant to traditional antibiotics. The assay of HDFa cell scratch confirmed that the AgNPs have greater ability of wound healing than the leaf extract of F. benghalensis. Altogether, the obtained results showed the application of synthesized AgNPs in the production of novel drugs that are used for wound healing in nursing care after rectal surgery.
