  Development of rapid, efficient, eco-friendly processes for synthesis of metal nanoparticles is one of the most significant thrust areas of nanobiotechnology. Medicinal plants are rich source of bioactive principles of diverse therapeutic importance. However, this unique phytochemistry can play a critical role not only in reduction of metal ions to their corresponding nanoparticles but also help to stabilize the same. Herein we report for the first time the synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using a medicinal plant, Barleria prionitis leaf extract. The synthesis was complete within 5 h and UV-vis spectra exhibited signature peaks at 420 nm and 540 nm for silver and gold nanoparticles, respectively. 3 mM AgNO3 and 2 mM HAuCl4 showed maximum synthesis of silver nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles, respectively at 50°C. High resolution transmission electron microscopy reveal.. View More»
