ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF Maranta arundinacea MEDIATED ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Background: In today's world, synthesis of nanoparticles using plants such as arrow roots is considered an environmentally friendly technology because no toxins or chemicals are used. Zinc is a naturally occurring factor that helps macromolecules preserve their structure and function. It aids enzymes that aid in the regulation of cellular processes and pathways. Arrow root-derived zinc oxide nanoparticles have a wide range of biomedical applications. A typical green synthesis technique is used to make these zinc oxide nanoparticles. Zinc nanoparticles have an impact on cell viability, antioxidant function, and the degradation of contaminants in the atmosphere, as previously stated. It is also said to be a safe type of nanoparticle that functions as a natural human skin barrier, according to other reports. Maranta arundinacea, also known as arrowroot, is a perennial plant with a wide range of medicinal properties. It's used to treat diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, and even urinary tract infections, as well as being a baby food.


The aim of this study was to look at the anti-inflammatory properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles mediated by Maranta arundinacea.

Materials and Methods: Arrowroot was used to make zinc oxide nanoparticles, which were then tested for anti-inflammatory activity.

The graph obtained shows that arrowroot muted Zinc oxidants have major antiinflammatory activity.

Conclusion: Since Arrow root has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, it can be used as a better drug of choice.
