Biogenic Synthesis Of Hydroxynano Composite Using Alpinia Galanga And Alpinia Officinarum And Analysis Of Antibacterial, Antioxidant And Anticancer Effects

Abstract

The present study was to determine in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activity of Alpinia officinarum and Alpinia galanga. Plants have been a source of medicine and a major resource for health care since ancient times, with some traditional herbal medicines having been in use for more than 2,000 years. Herbs and spices are recommended for prevention and cure of various diseases including cancer.

Alpinia galanga and Alpinia officinarum, botanical cousin to ginger was recognized superior in many ways and has been employed in medicine for over a thousand years. In this study, anti-microbial, anti-cancer and antioxidant analysis were carried out for both Alpinia officinarum and Alpinia galanga and hydroxynanocomposite prepared from both plant samples. Nanocomposites of concentration 1:2 ratio of both the plants showed maximum activity
