ASSESSMENT OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES FROM Sarcostemma acidum STEM EXTRACT Authors: V. Priya Roseline* And V. Priya
ABSTRACT
To meet the increasing demands for commercial nanoparticles new eco-friendly “green”
methods of synthesis are being discovered. Plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles offers
single step, easy extracellular synthesis of nanoparticles. Nanotechnology refers broadly to a
field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the
atomic and molecular scale. Nanoparticles exhibit completely new or improved properties based
on specific characteristics such as size, distribution and morphology. The silver nanoparticles
have various and important applications. In this work, we describe a cost effective and
environment friendly technique for green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles through the
extract of Sarcostemma acidum stem as it is acts as a reducing as well as capping agent. The
synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles exhibited potential anti-inflammatory activity.
