ABSTRACT

Plants are used as medicines since time immemorial. India has a rich heritage of using medicinal plants in traditional medicines such as Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani besides folklore practices. In this study, an attempt was made to find out the anti bacterial potential of L. inermis leaves which are commonly used to treat various ailments. The leaves of Lawsonia inermis was extracted with three different solvents namely hexane, chloroform and ethyl alcohol. After that lawsone extracted and formulate silver nanoparticle via green synthesis process. The lowsone encapsulated silver nanoparticle was characterized via UV, FTIR, DSC, XRD, AFM, Drug release, and also then tested their activity against cancer cell.

Keywords: Lawsone, henna, silver nano-particles, cancer, drug delivery.
