Abstract

The silver nanoparticles synthesized using herbal plants are widely used much biomedical research area. The plant Kalanchoe pinnata is herbal plant with very good nephroprotective activity and called as miracle plant. In this present investigation we have synthesized silver nanoparticles using fresh plant extract of Kalanchoe pinnata leaves. The synthesized particles were characterized using atomic force microscopy for morphological characters and UV-vis spectroscopy for surface plasmon resonance. The Anticariogenic activity of Kalanchoe pinnata mediated silver nanoparticles were tested against Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. The peak at 420 nm confirms the silver nanoparticles and zone of inhibition in the microbial plates demonstrate the Anticariogenic activity.
