Bioreduction and Formation of Gold Nanoparticles by Solanum Torvum Leaves Extract
نویسندگان
چکیده
Development of biologically inspired experimental processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles might be important in biomedical applications. Solanum torvum extract when challenged with chloroauric acid leads to formation of gold nanoparticles. The formations of gold nanoparticles were studied by UV-vis spectra and their size of gold nanoparticles in the colloidal solutions was investigated by HRTEM, the average size of gold nanoparticles nanoparticles was found to be 8.4 nm. The rapid reduction of AuCl4 ions highlights the possibility of green pathways to produce technologically important nanomaterials.

Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of aqueous extract from leaves of Solanum torvum (Solanaceae).
Solanum torvum is used in Cameroonian traditional medicine for the management of pain and inflammation. The present work assesses the pain-killing and anti-inflammatory properties of the aqueous extracts of Solanum torvum leaves. Acetic acid- and pressure- induced pains were reduced by this extract while carrageenan-induced inflammation was inhibited at various doses of the extract. The extract...
متن کاملBioreduction of chloroaurate ions by geranium leaves and its endophytic fungus yields gold nanoparticles of different shapes
Development of biologically inspired experimental processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles is an important branch of nanotechnology. In this paper, we report on the use of geranium leaves (Pelargonium graveolens) and its endophytic fungus in the extra-cellular synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Sterilized geranium leaves and an endophytic fungus (Colletotrichum sp.) growing in the leaves were...

Oxidative stress is the main factor in Doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardiotoxicity. Wistar rats received either DOX (67.75 mg/kg, i.v, 2 days before sacrifice) or Solanum torvum extract (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) prior to DOX or S. torvum (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) extract alone for 4 weeks. Cardiotoxicity was assessed by recording changes in ECG, heart rate and measuring the levels of c...
متن کاملZebrafish bioassay-guided microfractionation identifies anticonvulsant steroid glycosides from the Philippine medicinal plant Solanum torvum.
Medicinal plants used for the treatment of epilepsy are potentially a valuable source of novel antiepileptic small molecules. To identify anticonvulsant secondary metabolites, we performed an in vivo, zebrafish-based screen of medicinal plants used in Southeast Asia for the treatment of seizures. Solanum torvum Sw. (Solanaceae) was identified as having significant anticonvulsant activity in zeb...
