Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is one of the promising branches of nanotechnology for applications in different biomedical fields. In the present investigation, methanol extract of Tinospora cordifolia root were used as reducing agent. Then the silver nanoparticles are characterized using UV-Vis, SEM, XRD, TEM and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. The functional biomolecules responsible for the reduction of the silver ions and the capping of the silver nanoparticles by the plant extract Tinospora cordifolia were identified by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The TEM analysis shows that the silver nanoparticles with an average size of 100 nm. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the particles were crystalline in nature.
