Abstract

Plant gums have enormous medicinal potential and have been used in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. In the present investigation, Moringa oleifera gum (MOG) was collected, and its physical properties and phytochemical composition were investigated. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced, and characterization was carried out using UV spectroscopic analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this study, the standard method was used for the antioxidant assay and the antimicrobial test. The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) have irregular shapes and no fixed geometry. The agglomerate shape resembles that of pebble-like structures. UV‒vis analysis proved the wavelength of the sample to be 350–470 nm. In antioxidant studies, the synthesized AgNPs exhibited significant DPPH radical scavenging activity values ranging from 21.15 ± 0.017 to 63.46± 0.03 g/mL at concentrations ranging from 100 to 500 g/mL. In an antimicrobial experiment, the maximum incubation zone was 18 mm by 100 µL of AgNPs synthesized from M. oleifera gum extract against S. typhi. P. aeruginosa expressed a 16 mm zone of incubation at 100 µL of AgNPs synthesized from M. oleifera gum. According to the findings of this study, AgNPs derived from M. oleifera gum can be employed as a lead chemical in the creation of an effective antimicrobial drug for the treatment of microbial infections. This research establishes the foundation for synthesizing AgNPs from M. oleifera gum and its powerful novel pharmacological applications.

Introduction

Plant gums have tremendous therapeutic importancein pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets,lotions, suspensions, syrups, and ointments. Plantgums are made of polysaccharides that can be used invarious formulations and chemical changes toimprove their properties [H Zaigham et al., 2019;].Researchers are actively attempting to develop a widerange of novel synthetic and semisyntheticcompounds from natural resources that are incrediblybeneficial to humans and animals.

The bioactive compounds derived from plant gum canbe extracted using current technological advances.Moringa oleifera is a widely distributed plant speciesused for medicinal purposes. oleifera comes underthe Moringaceae family and is fast-growing, droughttolerant,and readily adapted to various habitats andagricultural systems. The plant is native tonortheastern India and is commonly found in tropicaland subtropical regions [SJS Flora and V Pachauri,2011;]. In the Indian vegetable industry, it holds adistinct and coherent stance. M. oleifera has beenused as a food additive because of its high nutritionalcontent and easy digestion of proteins,minerals, vitamins, and carotenoids [JW Fahey,2005; K Maheshwari et al., 2014; J Mehta et al.,2011].

Pharmaceuticals based on metals, polymers,liposomes, and oxide nanoparticles are beingresearched for their therapeutic potential in manydiseases, including cancer [O C Farokhzad et al.,2006;]. Metal nanoparticle synthesis has emerged asan essential branch of nanotechnology, with agrowing commercial demand for NPs due to theirnumerous applications. Researchers have beeninterested in AgNPs because of their uniqueproperties. In this research, AgNPs have beencharacterized as antibacterial agents. Silver'santibacterial action is magnified in the form of NPsdue to the increased number of NPs per unit area(increase in area/surface/volume ratio) [M Araujo etal., 2020;]. In the present investigation, Moringaoleifera gum (MOG) was collected, and its physicalproperties and phytochemical composition wereanalyzed. The green production and characterizationof AgNPs from M. oleifera gum were then carried oututilizing UV-spectroscopic analysis and SEM. Severalstudies have reported that M. oleifera plant parts suchas leaves, stems, and seeds have shown suitableantibacterial activities [S Gupta et al., 2018;].However, because there has been no previousresearch on M. oleifera gum, the current work focuseson the antimicrobial characteristics of AgNPsgenerated from M. oleifera gum.
