The study focuses on the green synthesis of silver sulfide nanoparticles using aqueous Senna occidentalis (L.) extract as reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents. Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterized the synthesized silver sulfide nanoparticles. FT-IR spectrum of Senna occidentalis leaves aqueous extract as shown in Fig. 3 below shows a number of peaks, thus reflecting its complex nature. The bands at 3175cm-1 is characteristic of the alcohol/phenol –OH stretching vibration, 2361.44cm-1 an attribute O=C= Stretching representing carbon dioxide. The weak peak at 1594cm-1 is assigned for C=O bending, indicating carboxylic acid, and the band at 995cm-1 represents the C=C bending signifying alkene. Fig. 4 below shows the FTIR result of the synthesized silver sulfide nanoparticle at different bands. The bands at 3785 and 3703 cm-1 correspond to O-H stretching vibration, indicating the presence of alcohol/phenol; the peak at 3406 cm-1 reflects N-H stretching of alphatic primary amine. Bands at 2919 and 2855.82cm-1 correspond to the C-H stretching of aromatic compounds. The band at 1713.88cm-1...

Objective: Ariel part of Opuntia elatior (Cactaceae) has been used in folklore health systems to treat diabetes in America, Mexico, and India. However, the anti-diabetic potential of cladodes of this medicinal plant is not scientifically validated and authenticated. The present study aimed to evaluate in-vitro and in-vivo anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic potential of methanol extracts and solvent fractions of O. elatior cladodes. Methods: The methanol extracts and solvent fractions of Opuntia elatior cladodes were evaluated at different concentrations (12.5-400 µg/ml) for anti-oxidant activity by using DPPH method and different doses (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight) for anti-diabetic potentials in staptozotocin induced diabetic albino rats. The extracts were administered for three weeks in different groups. Results: The acute toxicity study of Opuntia elatior cladodes extract, and fractions did not show mortality in the animals at the limit dose of 2000mg/kg during the observation period. The outcome of the present study indicates that extract and different fraction shows potential anti-oxidant activity. Cladodes also extract significantly decreases elevated level of blood glucose...
