It is of interest to document the cytotoxicity and anti microbial analysis of silver and graphene oxide nanoparticles. The plant extracts from Andrographis paniculata and Ocimum sanctum Linn were used as reducing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized using UVvisible spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD and TEM. The antimicrobial activity was completed for oral pathogens. Brine Shrimp Lethality assay was conducted for cytotoxicity. Thus, we show that silver and graphene oxide bio based nanoparticles have antimicrobial activity with minimum cytotoxic effects.
