摘要

Pain and inflammation are substantial health issues that are frequently addressed with conventional medications, including indomethacin and diclofenac. Nevertheless, these medications are frequently known to have adverse side effects. As a result, the cost-effectiveness and reduced adverse effects of green-synthesized nanomaterials have garnered significant attention. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized with an aqueous extract of Olea europaea are examined in this study for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cytotoxic properties. Several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were used to characterise synthesised AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs were incubated with HEK-293 cells for 24 h to assess their biocompatibility. The hot plate method and the acetic acid-induced writhing test were employed to evaluate the analgesic activity of AgNPs. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory potential was assessed using a carrageenan-induced paw edema model. Analgesic assessment demonstrated that the high dose of the AgNPs provided the most substantial pain relief. Furthermore, AgNPs effectively mitigated carrageenan-induced paw edema, particularly during the initial hour of inflammation. In conclusion, the results indicate that AgNPs possess significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which necessitate additional research for potential therapeutic applications.
