| Abstract: | The intension of current study was to determine antibacterial and drug releasing capacity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNps) with Moringa oleifera resin in the presence of Montelukast sodium and Ibuprofen. This plant gum is economic, easily available, biodegradable, safe and potential tablet binder. There was no significant study reported on the incorporation of green synthesized silver nanoparticle with plant resin in drug release. The aqueous extract of Clerodendron phlomoides was used for the bioreduction of silver nanoparticles as well as a capping agent. This green synthesized AgNps was observed in UV at 489 nm due to the SPR (Surface Plasmon Effect) effect, and the presence of protein and polyol compounds was identified by FTIR. The crystalline structure of AgNps was analyzed by XRD, elemental silver composition was measured by EDAX, morphological structure and size was revealed by SEM and TEM analysis. The antibacterial effect of green synthesized AgNps was analyzed by zone of inhibition method. Silver nanoparticles incorporated in M. oleifera plant resin and its functional groups and thermal degradation properties were characterized by FTIR and TGA, respectively. The drug release properties of the AgNps incorporated with plant resin were evaluated for the sustained release and compared with raw plant gum without AgNps consistency. |
