Abstract

Background: Ginger(zingiber officinale) is a widely used spice in cooking and is a medical herb in traditional herbal medicine. Ginger is herb which is widely used for treating inflammatory conditions and their associated pain. The utilisation of various plant products for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is called green nanotechnology. It is safe and does not utilise any harmful chemical protocols. Aim: To evaluate the antiinflammatory potential of ginger oil mediated silver nanoparticle. Materials and Method: The Silver nanoparticles were synthesised using ginger oil and was confirmed by UV- visible spectroscopy. The synthesised silver nanoparticles were evaluated for its antiinflammatory activity by studying the inhibitory effect on albumin denaturation assay. Result: The present study showed the production of silver nanoparticles at 460nm and was with very good anti inflammatory activity. Conclusion: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using ginger oil was eco friendly, reliable and suitable. So may be used for large scale production. It was easy to handle and rapid.
