Unveiling the Therapeutic Potential of Annona muricata and Psidium guajava through Nanotechnology: A Focus on Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Antimicrobial Activities.

Abstract

Nanoparticles synthesized using herbal incorporation leverage the natural compounds found in plants for their production. This method is often more environmentally friendly compared to conventional chemical synthesis. Nanoparticles produced using plant extracts are often more compatible with biological systems. Different plants can impart unique properties to the nanoparticles, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, or anti-inflammatory activities. Incorporating bioactive compounds from soursop (Annona muricata) and guava (Psidium guajava) into nanoparticles offers several potential benefits, particularly in the fields of food science, medicine, and cosmetics. These tropical fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and other bioactive compounds, and their encapsulation into nanoparticles can enhance the stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of these beneficial compounds. Our study one among the fewer studies done with herbal and nanoparticle combination made an attempt to study their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity.
