A green and simple method was proposed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using Piper cubeba seed extract as a reducing agent for the first time. The prepared Ag-NPs were characterized using different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The obtained Ag-NPs showed an emission band at 320 nm when excited at 280 nm and exhibited strong green fluorescence under UV-light. The produced Ag-NPs were used as fluorescent nanosensors for the spectrofluorimetric determination of ornidazole (ONZ) and miconazole nitrate (MIZ) based on their quantitative quenching of Ag-NPs native fluorescence. The current study introduces the first spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of the studied drugs using Ag-NPs without the need for any pre-derivatization steps. Since the studied drugs don't exhibit native fluorescent properties, the importance of the proposed study is magnified. The …
