Optimization for the preparation process of silver nanoparticles and their biological activity.

OBJECTIVES: Recently, the use of biological synthesis of metal nanoparticles has attracted widespread attention. Researchers are trying to find a biological method to synthesize silver nanoparticles with little environmental pollution and easy preparation, and to explore the impact of preparation conditions on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. This study aims to explore the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with controllable size and good effect and to compare their biological activity with that of AgNPs prepared by chemical method. METHODS: (CFS) as reducing agent and protective agent, and silver nitrate solution as precursor. Meanwhile, AgNPs was synthesized by sodium citrate chemical method. The effects of temperature, pH, dosage of extraction solution and light conditions on the biosynthesis of WET-AgNPs and CFS-AgNPs were investigated, and their characteristic of the synthesized WET-AgNPs and CFS-AgNPs were analyzed. Finally, the antibacterial effect, toxicity and selectivity of the 3 different AgNPs were compared. RESULTS: <0.01), and the cell selectivity of the CFS-AgNPs was better when the concentration was 480 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS: AgNPs with biological activity can be synthesized from WET and CFS, which have different biological activity compared with the AgNPs prepared by biological method.
