Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles play a vital role in diagnostics, biomolecular detection, and microelectronics. Several conventional methods are used for synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. But, toxic chemicals are required as capping agents to maintain stability, thus leading to toxicity in the environment. Thus, we need to shift to "green synthesis". Hence, this study was conducted to assess the cytotoxicity, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles reinforced with clove and cinnamon.
