Abstract:This paper presents an empirical analysis on the use of aqueous extract of Centratherum punctatum Cass (Asteraceae) for the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous silver nitrate. Phytochemical analysis of the extract revealed the presence of essential components such as flavonoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins and vitamin C, some of which serve as efficient reducing and capping agents for the reduction of silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles. The AgNPs synthesized were characterized by … Show more
“…Previous studies have evidenced that denaturation of proteins especially blood proteins as albumin is a major cause of rheumatoid arthritis and inflammation [37,38]. Protein denaturation is a process in which proteins lose their secondary and tertiary structure by application of external stress such as physical or chemical agents like heat shock.…”
