Abstract:
Background: Plants have been used for ages in traditional medicine, and it is exciting
to perceive how recent research has recognized the bioactive compounds liable for their beneficial
effects. Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a hastily emergent research area in nanotechnology.
This study describes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Coriandrum
sativum and Murraya koenigii leaf extract and its thrombolytic activity.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the clot lysis activity of Coriandrum sativum
and Murraya koenigii synthesized silver nanoparticles.
Methods: Leaves of Coriandrum sativum and Murraya koenigii were collected. Methanolic extraction
of the plant sample was done through a Soxhlet extractor. The methanolic extract obtained
from both the leaves was subjected to GC-MS analysis. The synthesized NPs from leaf
extracts were monitored for analysis, where the typical X-ray diffraction pattern and its diffraction
peaks were identified. 3D image of the NPs was analysed by Atomic Force Microscopy. The
surface charge of nanoparticles was identified by Zeta potential. The Clot lysis activity of Coriandrum
sativum and Murraya koenigii synthesized silver nanoparticles were analysed by the
modified Holmstorm method.
Results: The thrombolytic property of the methanolic extract of plants Coriandrum sativum
showed clot lysis activity at 2.5 mg/mL with 45.99% activity, and Murraya koenigii extract with
66.56% activity. The nanoparticles (Nps) from Coriandrum sativum showed clot lysis activity at
2.5 mg/mL with 58.29% activity, and NPs from Murraya koenigii with 54.04% activity. Coriandrum
sativum in GC-MS exhibited 3 peaks, whereas Murraya koenigii extract showed five peaks
with notable bioactive compounds.
Conclusion: These NPs were further used for biomedical applications after being fixed by an
organic encapsulation agent. The present research reveals the usefulness of Coriandrum sativum
and Murraya koenigii for the environmentally friendly manufacture of silver nanoparticles.
