Introduction: Nanotechnology has emerged as an exciting approach in the drug development process and among the various nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles have been explored for its variety of medical applications. Phyto assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles is an eco-friendly and cost effective method for the development of silver nanoparticles with additional properties conferred by the capping phytochemicals.
Aim of the study: To synthesize silver nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of the unripe fruits of Piper nigrum and to evaluate its in-vitro anti inflammatory activity.
Results: The synthesised silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Spectroscopic analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, Atomic Absorption Spect.. View More»
