Abstract
It is of interest to assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Terminalia chebula gold nanoparticles. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the nano composite were assessed using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and DPPH Assay respectively at 10 µL, 20 µL, 30 µL, 40µL, 50 µL. Values for anti-inflammatory property of nanoparticles were higher than the standard values at 40µL, 50 µL concentrations. Percentage of inhibition was highest at 40 µL (86%) and 50 µL (84.6%). The values for antioxidant property of nanoparticles were found to be higher than the standard values at concentrations except at 40µL, 50 µL. Percentage of inhibition was highest at 20 µL (86.2%).Within the limits of the study it can be concluded that Terminalia chebula mediated gold nanoparticles have exceptional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and further can be incorporated in dental material or can be used to coat suture materials to improve their properties.
