Synthesis AgNPs in Starch Solution by Green Method for New Medical Drugs

Work represents the silver nanoparticles synthesis using green method by adding soluble starch in DMSO solution. The resulting AgNPs-based starch was noted via changing the color from yellow to brownish in aqueous DMSO solution in dark place due to the role of starch in the Ag ions reduction to AgNPs as capping agent in DMSO solvent at temperature 60 ° C. Then, the AgNPs development was characterized via the (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. The morphology, structure and polydispersion of AgNPs were determined by using FESEM, XRD and Zeta analyzer, respectively which improved the role of starch in the formation of spherical and flower shapes of AgNPs. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of AgNPs-based starch revealed a strong effect against the positive bacteria than the negative bacteria as compared with the other antibiotic. Besides, these results suggest that the AgNPs prepared by green method can be utilized as efficient antimicrobial agent in the fields of medicine and represented the opportunities for the formation of safe and friendly AgNPs.
