ABSTRACT

The nanoscience theoretical knowledge and applying innovative idea together in the diverse research field is termed as nanotechnology. It gives massive effects and unique features in medicinal drug discovery and exhibits wide applications. In this study was aimed on biological silver synthesis in various solvents such as ethanol, methanol, chloroform and petroleum ether. These types of oddity research works may rapidly produce silver nanoparticles better than other solvents. Antioxidant DPPH Non-enzymatic assay revealed maximum presence of free radical scavenging activity in ethanol solvents. Phytochemical qualitative analysis has been done indiverse solvents. Best nanoparticle synthesizing solvent analyzed by double beam UV Spectroscopy and well synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized Alongwith Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray Dispersive spectroscopy (XRD) and synthesized silver nanoparticles used against as Klebsiellapneumonia.

Keywords: Silver nanoparticles, Various solvents, Antioxidant DPPH assay, Phytochemicals, SEM, EDAX, XRD and Klebsiellapneumonia.
