ABSTRACT
Silver nanoparticles are synthesized from aqueous extracts of Moringa Oleifera flower extracts.
Pharmacological activities such as Anti-oxidant, Anti- inflammatory activity and Anti diabetic
activities were studied. The AgNPs have showed significant pharmacological activity on multi
drug resistance in biological fields. The AgNPs had shown strong antioxidant by DPPH
scavenging activity. The AgNPs exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity by albumin
denaturation activity. The AgNPs had strongly inhibited the aglucosidase to a-amylase. To the
best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt on the synthesis of nanoparticles using Moringa
Oleifera flowers extracts. Hence, to authenticate our results, the invivo studies at molecular level
are needed to develop an antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory agent. Results of the
present study, highlighted the eco-friendly approach of plant mediated synthesis of nano
particles and its potential application in the field as an alternative to chemical drug for disease
management.
Keywords: AgNPs, Nanoparticles, antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory agent etc.,
1. INTRODUCTION
Nanotechnology is a science centered on molecular and supramolecular molecules aiming
to create nanostructures with enhanced functionalities [1], and the term nanoparticle describes
particulate matter ranging in size from 1–100 nm [2]. Bearing a nano scale size offers the benefit
of having a significantly large surface area to volume ratio[3]. Increased surface area, in

combination with nanoparticle conformation and distribution in solution contribute to their
enhanced physical and chemical properties which are useful in a diversity of fields such as
antimicrobial development [4], bio-molecular detection, diagnostics [5], catalysis [6], micro-
electronics [7], sensing devices and targeting of drugs to cancer cells [8]. These wide ranging
applications and the increasing ability to manipulate nanoparticle form and function have
sparked great interest in the scientific community over the past decade, particularly in developing
a competent and eco- friendly synthetic methods.
Conventional physical and chemical methods currently have limited use in preparing
metal nanoparticles due to toxic chemicals [9]. Moreover, these methods are associated with
high-energy input and costly downstream processing [10]. Green synthesis is defined as the
utilize of eco-friendly compatible materials such as bacteria, fungi and plants in the synthesis of
nanoparticles [11]. These nice-looking green strategies are free of the short falls linked with
conventional synthetic strategies, i.e. they are eco-friendly [12]. on the other hand, synthesis
from organically derived extracts offers several advantages such as hasty synthesis, high yields
and importantly, the lack of costly downstream processing required producing the particles [13–
15]. Hence, nanoparticle synthesis from plant extracts tentatively offers a route for huge scale
production of commercially attractive nanoparticles.
Frequent studies report on the use of plant extracts to synthesis AgNPs with significant
antimicrobial activities: leaf extracts of Acalypha indica [16], Solidago altissima [17], Xanthium
strumerium L [18], Murraya koenigii (curry leaf) [19], Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi leaf) [20, 21],
seed extracts of Acacia farnesiana [22], Macrotyloma uniflorum [23], root extracts of
Trianthema decandra [24], stem extracts of Ocimum sanctum [20], and even fruit extracts of
Musa paradisiacal (banana) peels [25] and Carica papaya [26]. In these studies, silver nitrate
(AgNO3) is used as a precursor in synthesis of silver nanoparticle. Also the phytocompounds
present in the plant extracts serve as reducing and/or capping agents in reaction with AgNO3.
Moringa oleifera Lam (drumstick tree) is a tree species indigenous to north-western India
but is also regarded as a vital crop in several other countries such as the Philippines, Sudan,
Ethiopia and South Africa [27, 28]. It belongs to the genus Moringa and the family Moringaceae
[29], and is highly sought after for its tender pods, flowers and leaves, all of which are confined
for human consumption [30]. The leaves, in particular, are recognized for their natural healing
properties and are popularly consumed in a variety of ways [29, 31]. Research to date has
revealed that extracts prepared from the leaves possess high natural antioxidant properties and
some antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria [27, 32].
Nanomaterials have a long list of applicability in civilizing human life and its
environment. The first relation between human life and nano scale was developed as expected in

ayurveda, which is a 5000-year-old Indian system of medicine. It had some knowledge of
nanoscience and technology before the term ‘nano’ was even formed. Modern science has just
started exploring nanoscience in the 21st century[33]. Research and development in this field is
growing rapidly throughout the world. A chief yield of this activity is the development of new
materials in the nanometer scale, including nanoparticles. These are usually clear as particulate
materials with atleast one dimension less than 100 nanometers (nm), even the particles could be
of zero dimension as in the case of quantum dots. Metal nanoparticles which have a high specific
surface area and a high fraction of surface atoms have been studied extensively because of their
unique physicochemical character including catalytic activity, optical properties, electronic
properties, antibacterial properties and magnetic properties[34]. Synthesis of noble nanoparticles
for the applications such as electronics, environmental and biotechnology is an area of constant
interest [35]. Generally metal nanoparticles are synthesized and stabilized by using element
methods such as chemical reduction [36,37], electrochemical techniques[38], microwave assisted
process[39] and now a day via green chemistry route[40]. Synthesis of nanoparticles using plants
are quite novel leading to innovation over chemical and physical method as it is cost effective
and environment friendly. It is also easily synthesized to a great extent in a large scale as there is
no need to use high pressure, energy, temperature and toxic chemicals in this method. Bacteria
and fungi could be used for the blend of nanoparticles[41,42] but use of leaf extract[43] reduces
the cost and we do not require any special culture preparation and isolation techniques.
Flowers
Fig.1. Moringa Oleifera
In the present study, we report the biosynthesis of AgNPs from M. oleifera flower
extract. There are few published comparisons on nanoparticle yield, quality and bioactivity for
extracts prepared with fresh tissue within individual species. Moringa flowers represent a
promising candidate for green synthesis of bioactive AgNPs that can be produced in an
environmentally friendly manner.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 Collection of root
Fresh root of the samples were collected from Perambalur, during the month of March.

2.2 Preparation of root extract
The fresh and young flowers of the samples were collected & washed thoroughly with sterile
double distilled water (DDW). Twenty grams of sterilized root samples were taken and cut into
small pieces. Finely cut roots were placed in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 50ml of
sterile DDW. After that, the mixture was transferred to Soxhlet apparatus to derive extracts. The
extract was stored in 4 0C.
2.3 Microwave assisted synthesis of metal nanoparticles
Metal nitrate was used as precursor in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. 100 ml of flower
extract was added to 100 ml of 0.1N metal nitrate aqueous solution in conical flask of 250 ml
content at room temperature. The conical flask was subsequently put into shaker (100 rpm) at 500
C and for a period of 12 hrs the reaction was carried out. Then the mixture is exposed to heat
with the help of microwave oven.
Metals nanoparticles are made by a chemical reduction of a metal salt in the presence of a
stabilizing agent. Rapid microwave heating and agitation gives monodispersed particles. Add
200 ml of extract with 1M metal nitrate in beaker and Cover loosely. Expose the sample in
Microwave radiation for 20 minutes at 100% power. The setting of time is done on the basis of
trial and error method. The color will continue to change with respect to time. The mixture was
completely dried after a period of 20 minutes and hence nanoparticles in form of powders were
obtained.
2.4 Anti-Oxidant Studies
DPPH scavenging assay
The ability to scavenging the stable free radical, DPPH was measured as a decrease in
absorbance at 517 nm by the method.
Reagents
2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) – 90.25mM in methanol in a dark room.
Procedure
To a methanolic solution of DPPH (90.25 mM), an equal volume of ethanolic Rhizome of
Cyperus rotundus L (250-1500 µg) was added and made up to 1.0 ml with methanolic DPPH. An
equal amount of methanol was added to the control. After 20 min, the absorbance was recorded
at 517 nm in a Systronics UV-visible Spectrophotometer. Ascorbic acid was used as standard for
comparison. The inhibition of free radicals by DPPH in percentage terms (%) was calculated by
using the following equation.
% Scavenging = (OD of Control- OD of Sample/ OD of Control) X 100.
Where, A control is the absorbance of the control reaction (containing all reagents except the test
compound) and A sample is the absorbance of the test compound.

2.5 Anti- inflammatory activity
Inhibition of Albumen Denaturation
The reaction mixture consists of test extracts and 1% solution of bovine albumin fraction, pH of
mixture was adjusted by adding a small amount of HCl at 37°C. The sample extracts were
incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes and then heated to 51°C for 20 minutes after cooling the
samples the turbidity was measured spectrophotometrically at 660 nm. Diclofenac sodium was
taken as a standard drug. The experiment was performed in triplicates. Percent inhibition of
protein denaturation was calculated as follows:
Percent inhibition (%) = (OD of Control- OD of Sample/ OD of Control) X 100.
2.6 Inhibition Of Alpha-Amylase Enzyme
Starch solution (0.1% w/v) was prepared by stirring 0.1 g of potato starch in 100 ml of 16 mM of
sodium acetate buffer. The enzyme solution was prepared by mixing 27.5 mg of α-amylase in
100 ml of distilled water. The colorimetric reagent is prepared by mixing sodium potassium
tartarate solution and 3,5-di nitro salicylic acid solution 96 mM. The starch solution is added to
the both control and plants extract tubes and left to react with α-amylase solution, under alkaline
conditions at 25ºC. The reaction was allowed for 3 min. The generation of maltose was
quantified by the reduction of 3,5-dinitro salicylic acid to 3-amino-5-nitro salicylic acid. This
reaction is detectable at 540 nm.
% Inhibition = (OD of Control- OD of Sample/ OD of Control) X 100.
3. Result and Discussion
3.1 Anti – Oxidant activity
in Figure [Table 2 and Figure 3]. The albumin denaturation method was carried out for AgNPs
DPPH scavenging assay method
There are several methods available to assess the antioxidant activity of compounds. DPPH free
radical scavenging assay is an easy, rapid, and sensitive method for the antioxidant screening of
plant extracts. In the presence of an antioxidant, DPPH radical obtains one more electron and the
absorbance decreases.
In the present study, the AgNPs using flower extracts of Moringa Oleifera flowers have
high DPPH scavenging capacity, which increased with increasing concentration [Table 1 and
Figure 2]. It is evident from the data presented in Table, that the sample possesses DPPH assay
activity. For the AgNPs the result shows the percentage of cytotoxicity for 250 mg/ml as
13.22%, 500 mg/ml as 27.5%, 750 mg/ml as 48.5% and 1000 mg/ml as 53.1%. These inhibition
values are compared with standard drug of Ascorbic acid for 250 mg/ml as 23.63%, 500 mg/ml
as 29.00% ,750 mg/ml as 45.25% and1000 mg/ml as 52.05 %. Hence, this assay provided
information on the reactivity of test samples with a stable free radical.

assessment of the anti-inflammatory property of Silver nanoparticles synthesized Moringa
Oleifera. The Albumen Denaturation is a well-documented cause of inflammation. Most
biological proteins lose their biological functions when denatured. Production of autoantigen in
certain arthritic disease is due to denaturation of protein. Aspirin was used as a standard anti-
inflammation drug as shown. at different concentrations such as 100µg/ml 200µg/ml, 300 µg/ml,
400 µg/ml, 500 µg/ml.
For the AgNPs, the result shows the percentage of cytotoxicity for 100 mg/ml as 44 %,
200 mg/ml as 49.2%, 300 mg/ml as 58.1%, 400 mg/ml as 68 %, and 500 mg/ml as 76%. For the
These inhibition values are compared with standard drug of Aspirin
for 100 mg/ml as 45%, 200 mg/ml as 56.25% ,300 mg/ml as 66.20%, 400 mg/ml as 72.02%, 500

3.3 Anti diabetic activity
Inhibition of Alpha-Amylase Enzyme
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar
levels over an extended period. A therapeutic approach to decrease the hyperglycaemia is to
inhibit the carbohydrate digesting enzymes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase), thereby preventing
the breakdown of carbohydrates into monosaccharides which is a main cause of increasing blood
glucose level. Therefore, developing compounds having inhibitory activities towards
carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes may be a useful way to manage diabetes. As shown in Figure
4 and Table 3, α-amylase and α-glucosidase were significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent
manner by the AgNPs. The results suggest that with the increased AgNPs concentration, the
activity levels of enzyme were remarkably reduced, Hence, the biomolecules likely enhanced the
antidiabetic potential of the synthesized NPs. α-Amylase inhibitory actions were observed in
increasing order, as Acarbose (Figure 4). Comparable results were observed. However, the
foregoing results suggest that the synthesized AgNPs have potential antidiabetic property and
could prove its effectiveness in the diabetes care.
For the AgNPs, the result shows the percentage of cytotoxicity for 0.05 mg/ml as 33.2 %,
0.1 mg/ml as 41.1%, 0.15 mg/ml as 55%, 0.2 mg/ml as 58.4% and 0.25 mg/ml as 76.2%. These
inhibition values are compared with standard drug of Acarbose for 0.05 mg/ml as 35%, 0.1
mg/ml as 42%, 0.15 mg/ml as 56%, 0.2 mg/ml as 61% and 0.25 mg/ml as 79%. On comparing, it
was observed that when the concentration of the sample increases the inhibition also increases
showing a good sign of Anti-diabetic activity.

medicinal plant Moringa Oleifera has been used as a traditional medicinal plant due to the
presence of phytochemicals in it. The various applications of the foot extract have already been
established till date. Now, in this study, the flower extracts have been used for the biogenesis of
the AgNPs. The DPPH assay is the most acceptable, fastest and simplest method for the
calculation of the free radical scavenging activity. As shown in the Table 1 and Figure 2. The
AgNPs shows better antioxidant property when compared with the standard ascorbic acid with
an IC50 values. Denaturation of proteins is a well documented cause of inflammation.
Phenylbutazones, salicylic acid, flufenamic acid (anti‐inflammatory drugs), have shown dose
dependent ability to thermally induced protein denaturation. As a part of the analysis on the
mechanism of the anti‐inflammatory activity, ability of extract to inhibit protein denaturation
was studied. The in-vitro study of a anti-inflammatory activity indicates that the inhibition
percentage of albumin denaturation by Moringa Oleifera flower extracts. It is inferred that the
Anti- inflammatory activity of AgNPs synthesized from Moringa Oleifera flower extracts
indicates a good and higher inhibition percentage than AgNPs from Moringa Oleifera flower
extracts as presented in Table 2 and Figure 3. α-amylase is a key enzyme in carbohydrate
metabolism. Inhibition of α-amylase is one of the strategies for treating diabetes. Amylase
inhibitors are also known as starch blockers because they contain substances that prevent dietary
starches from being absorbed by the body. Amylase inhibitor with starchy meal will reduce the
usual rise in blood sugar levels. The result suggests that Ag Nanoparticle exhibits well α-
amylase inhibition under in vitro conditions (Tables 3 and Fig 4).
