Bio resource based metal oxide nanoparticles has potential biomedical applications. In recent years lot of research is concentrated on the production of semiconductor ZnO nanoparticles through a greener approach. The present study is focused on the biosynthesis of ZnO nanoparticles from the ethanolic extract of Delonix Elata leaves. The preliminary phytochemical screening analysis was carried out for the ethanolic extract of Delonix Elata leaves. The biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized using modern analytical techniques such as UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDAX). The antioxidant potential of the synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles are investigated by DPPH free radical scavenging assay and anti-inflammatory activity by bovine serum denaturation assay. The outcome of the studies clearly showed that the zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized from the ethanolic extract of Delonix Elata leaves have potential anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
