Genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles stabilized in hydroalcoholic extract of Mentha Piperita L for the treatment of depression

Objective: To develop silver nanoparticles stabilized in the hydroalcoholic extract of Mentha Piperita L. for adjuvant treatment depression. Methodology: In synthesis a solution, 25 mL nitrate (1.0 mmol/L) and 75 sodium borohydride (2.0 were used. These two substances mixed at room temperature under magnetic stirring. Another solution used 100 until boiling was reached 5 citrate (1%) added The dry mint obtained from dried leaves 70% alcohol. Results: isolated analyzes solutions showed absorbance peaks 266 to 420 nm. When mixing solutions, it noted that presence maximum higher. Conclusion: For both (with citrate/borohydride) formation identified, indicating is able stabilize AgNps.
