Abstract
As the green nano synthesis is flourishing constantly it is indispensable to incorporate nanotechnology in medicine. Prelimiary studies in the leaves of Garcinia combogia have shown the presence of bioactive secondary metabolites. The present investigation discloses the synthesis gold nano particle using the leaves of Garcinia combogia and its antioxidant property. The total phenolic contents (TPC) were determined by the Folin- Ciocalteu method. The free radicalscavenging activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was ascertained by the DPPH assay, Nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging, Superoxide (SO) radical scavenging and Hydrogen Peroxide scavenging. The gold nano particles of Garcinia combogia exhibit apparent scavenging activity and excellent antioxidant activity.The phenolic compounds that exist in Garcinia combogia have the potential to function as antioxidants by scavenging or stabilizing the free radicals involved in oxidative processes.
Key words: Garcinia combogia, nano particles, TPC. DPPH assay, NO, SO Scavenging
