Abstract
Introduction: Phoenix dactylifera commonly known as date palm belongs to the palm family, Arcaceae. Earlier studies demonstrate that constituents of dates act as potent antioxidant, antitumor and anti-inflammatory and provide a suitable alternative therapy in various disease.
Materials and methods: Dates seeds are grounded, mixed with distilled water, boiled & filtered. Silver nitrate is added to the solution & subjected to a magnetic stirrer. Tests done for anti-inflammatory activity are BSA and EA assay and tests done for antioxidant activity are DPPH and H2O2 assay.
Results: The anti-inflammatory & antioxidant activity of Phoenix dactylifera were roughly equal to the standard used in our study. Henceforth proving that they have high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential.
Conclusion: The study concludes that silver nanoparticles synthesized from the Phoenix dactylifera seeds exhibit good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity and hence can be used in the formulation of organic anti-inflammatory gels or as an adjuvant to NSAIDs.
