Opuntia dellini (Cactaceae) family, Commonly known as pear bush, prickly pear. Is a succulent shrub growing under desert and dry conditions. Opuntia dellini is a wild Xerophytes is abundant in Himalayas, belived to be American origin and a native of India. Traditionally these plants used in the treatment of inflammation, hypoglycaemic, Stomach ulceration Neuro-protection through antioxidant action, Viral disease, diabetes, burns, bronchica, asthama and digestive problems throughout the world. Phytochemical screening was undertaken in Cladodes, and revealed the presence of phenols, Alkaloids, flavanoids, Saponins etc. and then Synthesize silver nano-particles by a green biological route, using an Cladode plant extract. Thus, the synthesized silver nano-particles with plant extract. was confirmed by change of the colour of the solution from pale yellow into dark brown colour Solution, indicates to bio-reduction of silver ions in the plant extract. The Green synthesis of silver nano-particles was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transforms Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction Studies (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study justifies the potential and applications of traditional medicine in health Care sector.
