![](https://www.texilajournal.com/thumbs/article/0755.jpg)
Abstract:
Gold is the oldest dental restorative material,
used for dental repairs for more than 4000 years and remains an important metal
included in the dental sector. In a world where nanoparticle importance has been well established and preparation
of nanoparticles has become much easier, it is important to assess if these nanoparticles
can be extracted from plants as well. Along with its extraction, analysis of each
property of the nanoparticle is essential. Pepper and eucalyptus remain two
of the most important ingredients used in ayurveda and can be easily found in every
household. The aim of this study was to extract gold nanoparticles using Eucalyptus
and Piper longum and evaluate the antibacterial activity of the derived gold nanoparticles.
Preparation of plant extract was done following which, extraction of gold nanoparticles
was performed. Antiinflammatory properties of the gold nanoparticles were tested
by albumin denaturation method and compared against the anti-inflammatory gold standard,
Diclofenac sodium. The protein denaturation levels were measured, and the data was
compiled. From this study, it
can be concluded that gold nanoparticles derived from pepper and eucalyptus can
be used as a potential source of anti-inflammatories.
