Abstract

Three different flavonoids -hesperidin, naringin and diosmin (constituents of citrus plants) were used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Aqueous solutions of pure flavonoids (0.2 mg mL-1) mixed with 1 mM AgNO3 solution were exposed to bright sunlight to prepare the nanoparticles. Characterization of the synthe- sized nanoparticles by UV–Visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the synthesized silver nanoparticles were 10–80 nm in size and polydispersed in nature. Bactericidal effect against com- mon pathogens and cytotoxicity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles was investigated on human promyelocytic leukemic (HL-60) cells. It is concluded that AgNPs syn- thesized using Naringin as reducing agent showed higher stability and better antibacterial and cytotoxic activities.
