ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF COPPER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED USING DRIED GINGER | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Inflammation is an immune system biochemical response that can be activated by a wide range of factors, including bacteria, damaged cells, and toxic compounds. The Zingiberaceae family includes ginger (Zingiber officinale). Ginger's phytochemistry is responsible for its health-promoting properties. Ginger is also said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties that help to slow down the ageing process. It also has antimicrobial properties that can help in infectious disease treatment. Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated in excess of the biological system's antioxidant capacity throughout metabolism. The aim of this study is to see how effective copper nanoparticles are at reducing inflammation when they are combined with dried ginger. The Zingiber officinale was harvested, peeled, washed, and air dried in a shady spot, after which a plant extract was produced and copper nanoparticles were made. The synthesis of copper nanoparticles was monitored using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer on a regular basis. The inhibition of albumin denaturation assay test was used to assess anti-inflammatory activity, and the results revealed that dried ginger mediated copper nanoparticles had potent anti-inflammatory properties.
