Antioxidant Activity of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Piper Longum and Eucalyptus.

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background

The following study focused on how to environmentally synthesize Titanium oxide nanoparticles using piper longum and eucalyptus as the extracting agent and to asses their antioxidant activity.

Material and Methods:

Eucalyptus and Piper longum dried leaves were used.

These leaves were combined with 20 mL distilled water, brought to a boil, and then left to boil for 15 minutes. The plant solution was then extracted by passing the solution through a hydrophilic filter paper.[1]

The Erlenmeyer flask holding 100 mL, TiO(OH)2 (0.1 mM) was agitated for 48 hours to produce TiO2 Nanoparticles. At first, there was no discernible difference in colour.

To an 80 mL titanium oxide solution, 20 mL plant extract was added.

Results:

The antioxidant activity of the reaction mixture was measured at various doses in this study. At 50l concentration, the combination of eucalyptus and piper longum mediated titanium oxide nanoparticles had the highest anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, with 84% inhibition, respectively.

Conclusion:

Both experiments effectively indicated higher antioxidant activity of titanium oxide nanoparticles mediated by the piper longum and eucalyptus combination when compared to the control and, as a result, might be considered as a potential therapeutic agent.
