Present work reports the green synthesis of chitosan functionalized silver nanoparticles (CS-AgNPs) using ethanolic buds extract of Sygyzium aromaticum. CS-AgNPs were characterized physically, evaluated for antibacterial, anticoagulant and antiplatelet activities, and toxicity profile. The physical characterization of CS-AgNPs was done by UV/vis, SEM, TEM, FTIR and EDX. The sphericity was found uniform. FTIR and EXD showed noninterfering few impurities. The antibacterial activity against VRSA (ZI, 23.2 ± 0.51 mm) and MRSA (ZI, 25.8 ± 0.32 mm) were determined. The rise in bleeding and thromboplastin was observed highly significant while increased in prothrombin and activated partial prothrombin time in significant manner at both the doses of CS-AgNPs (0.025 mg/kg and 0.05 mg/kg). Reduction in the levels of fibrinogen was also highly significant. Platelet aggregation decreased at high dose of CS-AgNPs i.e. 55.14 ± 8.25% (arachidonic acid) and 13.06 ± 2.17% (collagen). Thrombin antithrombin (TAT) complex activity was found highest for CS-AgNPs. Cytotoxicity was assessed using HeLa cell lines (LC50; 125 μg/ml) and brine shrimp lethality tests (LC50; 518 μg/ml). The work suggests that green synthesized chitosan functionalized silver nanoparticles may be utilized as an effective antibacterial agent and anticoagulant with low toxicity. The current findings will open a new window for nanomedicine development and future clinical application.

D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers. Drug Carrier
