Evaluation of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of Adhatoda vasica zinc nanoparticles

Abstract

Adhatoda vasica is a perennial herb with a diverse range of beneficial effects over diseases. The zinc nanoparticle has a number of benefits, including high-yield reaction and anti-inflammatory activity. The combination of these two marvelous materials has the potential to improve antioxidant and anti-inflammatory function.

Aim:

To estimate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Adhatoda vasica mediated zinc nanoparticles.

Materials and method:

1.08 g of Adhatoda vasica plant powder and was dissolved in 100ml of distilled water. The solution was boiled for 10 minutes, filtered and then allowed to settle. This freshly prepared plant extract was used for green synthesis. 50 ml of Adhatoda vasica extract is combined with 50 ml of zinc nanoparticles. UV-Beckmann spectrometer was used to analyse the nanoparticle synthesis. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy of adhatoda Vasica mediated zinc nanoparticles was evaluated and the results were compared with the standard drugs at various concentrations ranging from 10 μl to 50 μl.

Result:

The zinc nanoparticle mediated by Adhatoda vasica has positive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Conclusion:

This study reveals that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant exhibited by Adhatoda vasica mediated zinc nanoparticles showed increased levels of activity at higher concentration. Hence, this can be used as an effective drug in treating disease by natural medicine.
