• Publish Date: 1 - May - 2024

Research Abstract:

This review article discusses the anti-inflammatory properties and safety of green-synthesized metal and metal oxide nanoparticles produced using plant-mediated methods. The study highlights green synthesis as an eco-friendly and safer alternative to conventional chemical nanoparticle synthesis methods. In this approach, natural phytochemicals from plant extracts are used to reduce and stabilize metallic nanoparticles. The review covers several types of nanoparticles, including: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) Gold nanoparticles Zinc oxide nanoparticles Iron oxide nanoparticles Cerium oxide nanoparticles The article explains their ability to: Inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines Reduce oxidative stress Enhance anti-inflammatory therapeutic activity Minimize side effects compared with traditional anti-inflammatory drugs. The study also addresses safety and toxicological concerns, indicating that some nanoparticles may induce cellular toxicity at high concentrations. Therefore, the authors emphasize the need for further in vivo pharmacological and toxicological studies before these nanoparticles can
