Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles with Syzygium aromaticum Leaves Extract as Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Materials

Abstract:

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted attention due to their unique properties and potential application. This research aimed to do green synthesis of AgNPs with Syzygium aromaticum leaves extract (SALE) and evaluate their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Syzygium aromaticum leaves were extracted using distilled water at 70 °C for 30 min and the results were characterized with FTIR. AgNPs were synthesized by mixing AgNO₃ precursor with SALE. The effects of parameters such as volume ratio of AgNO₃ precursor to SALE, AgNO₃ concentrations, and synthesis times were investigated. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, and TEM. Antibacterial activity of SALE and AgNPs was investigated against Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) with disc diffusion method and antioxidant activity was tested with DPPH method. The FTIR characterization revealed that SALE and resulting AgNPs contain O-H, C-H, C=O, C=C, C-O, and C≡C functional groups. The UV-Vis characterization demonstrated that AgNPs exhibited an absorption peak at λ = 420 nm indicating surface plasmon resonance. The optimal volume ratio of AgNO₃ to SALE, AgNO₃ concentrations, and synthesis time for AgNPs synthesis was achieved at 10:3, 5 mM, and 60 min respectively. TEM characterization indicated that AgNPs have spherical form and sizes ranging from 14 to 32 nm. The antibacterial testing revealed that AgNPs have antibacterial activities against E. coli and B. subtilis with inhibition zone values are 8,38 ± 0,48 and 6,88 ± 1,47 respectively. Additionally, antioxidant testing presented that the IC₅₀ values were 85.05 µg/mL for SALE and 34.71 µg/mL for AgNPs. The results indicate that green synthesis of AgNPs from AgNO₃ precursor with SALE was done successfully and this nanoparticle has good antibacterial and antioxidant activities.
