GREEN SYNTHESIS OF L-THEANINE MEDIATED SILVER NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR ANTI INFLAMMATORY AND ANTI OXIDANT PROPERTY

Introduction: In recent years, the development of potent green chemistry techniques for making metal nanoparticles has become a prime focus of researchers. They have delved in order to discover an eco-friendly method for production of well-characterized nanoparticles. One of the most advised techniques is production of metal nanoparticles with the help of organisms. Among these organisms plants seem to be the best entrants and they are suitable for large-scale biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles produced by plants are very much stable and the level of synthesis is quicker when compared to microorganisms.

Methodology: In Anti inflammatory, 2 mL of 1% Bovine Albumin fraction was mixed with 400 µL of L-theanine mediated Ag NP in different concentrations (10-50 µg/ml). In Antioxidant, 2 mL of L-theanine mediated Ag NP in the concentration range of 10-50-µg/mL was prepared in 50% methanol solution and added to DPPH solution.

Results and Discussion: When compared with the standard solution, the nanoparticle solution used is very close to being apt as the anti oxidant and the anti inflammatory and only has a slight variation. And the variation being very slight, it can be introduced into the market as a natural product unlike the standard which is a synthetic product.

Conclusion: L-theanine mediated silver nanoparticles are a good anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant substance. Its activity increases with increase in dosage.
