Silver Nanoparticles of extract of Euphorbia helioscopia L. were synthesized and their biological potential was determined. Effect of pH on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, extract amount and time studies were performed. The antibacterial activity of nanoparticles of Euphorbia helioscopia at various concentrations against certain bacterial strains was determined and concentration of 100 μl was found to have good antibacterial result as compared to other concentrations. Similarly, the antioxidant potential of silver nanoparticles at various concentrations was also determined and it was found that the sliver nanoparticles at concentration 100 μg/ml showed good result as compared to ascorbic acid, while at concentration 75 μg/ml showed moderate result and the remaining concentrations exhibited weak activities.
