| description | Extensive applications of nanoparticles are used in the field of catalysis, biosensing, imaging, drug delivery, nano-device
fabrication and medicine. Previously, biosynthesized nano-silver and biosynthesized nano-zinc oxide has shown significant
effect as antimicrobial agents, thus reduces concern over the threat of antibiotic resistance. Biosynthesis of nano-silver and
nano-zinc oxide using Pandanus amaryllifolius leaf extract and their spermicidal effect was explored in the present research
following characterization using FESEM-EDX and were determined to be spherical in shape and aggregated into regular
structure with high uniformity. The sperm membrane solubilisation property displayed by both biosynthesized nano-silver
and biosynthesized nano-zinc oxide exceeded the effects of 1% (w/v) Triton-X and was most significant at the concentration
of 100 μg/ml. The results suggested that biosynthesized nano-silver and biosynthesized nano-zinc oxide holds possibility as
new generation spermicidal agents. |
