In vitro ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY USING FRUIT FORMULATION MEDIATED ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES

The aim of this study was to see whether zinc oxide nanoparticles made from Punica granatum and Elettaria cardamomum had anti-inflammatory properties. Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, diclofenac, and ibuprofen are the most widely prescribed and used drugs for inflammation and its related conditions. Unfortunately, these medications have a lot of negative side effects. As a result, there has been an increase in the quest for a more powerful and secure alternative. To minimise the side effects, zinc oxide nanoparticles, which have strong anti-inflammatory efficacy, were prepared using a green method mediated by extracts from Punica granatum and Elettaria cardamomum. Materials and Methods: Punica granatum and Elettaria cardamomum extracts were collected and prepared, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesised, nanoparticles were collected using centrifugation, nanoparticles were characterised, anti-inflammatory activity of ZnO nanoparticles was determined using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and albumin denaturation inhibition was tested.

Results: Zinc oxide nanoparticles induced by Punica granatum and Elettaria cardamomum demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity comparable to Diclofenac.

Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate that zinc oxide nanoparticles induced by Punica granatum and Elettaria cardamomum have potent anti-inflammatory properties, and more studies can be done to test it for various medicinal purposes.
