Abstract
Aim: To determine the cytotoxic activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized using Ficus benghalensis.
Introduction: Synthesis of metal nanoparticles is widely used due to their potential applicability in various areas such as electronics, chemistry, energy and medicine development. To fulfill the growing need of environmentally friendly nanoparticles, researchers are using plant extract for the synthesis of nanoparticles.
Materials and Methods: In this report we used the extract F. benghalensis to synthesize silver nanoparticles and were characterized using UV- visible spectrometer and was also tested for cytotoxic activity.
Results: These biosynthesized silver nanoparticles showed reduced cytotoxic activity and can be developed as novel medicine against pathogenic oral diseases.
Conclusion: With increasing demand in advancements and diagnosis of treatment modalities, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using F. benghalensis has reduced cytotoxic activity and has wider applications in dentistry.
