Background: Syzygium aromaticum L. is one of the most valuable spices that has been used for centuries as food preservative and for many medicinal purposes. Cinnamomum verum L. contains procyanidins and catechins. These procyanidins possess antioxidant activities. Antioxidants are the first line defense against free radical damage.Silver nanoparticles have also been assessed for their catalytic property, various optical properties, antibacterial and magnetic properties.
Aim:To
assess the antioxidant activity of Syzygium aromaticum L. and Cinnamomum verum
L. formulation mediated silver nanoparticles
Materials and
Methods: Syzygium aromaticum L. and Cinnamomum verum L. were powdered. 5 mg of
powdered Syzygium aromaticum L. and 5 mg of powdered Cinnamomum verum L. were
weighed and mixed with 100 ml distilled water.
Aqueous extract of Syzygium aromaticum L. and Cinnamomum verum L. was
prepared and silver nanoparticles which were synthesized by the green synthesis
method were added, the antioxidant effect was calculated using the DPPH assay.
Results: The
aqua alcoholic extract of Syzygium aromaticum L. and Cinnamomum verum L.
extract showed highest absorbance at a concentration of 50 μl (79.6%) when
subjected to inhibition of DPPH assay to check for its anti inflammatory
activity at a wavelength of 517 nm. The cytotoxicity of the extract was lowest
at 10 μl.
