Abstract:

The blood-brain barrier has been reported to be one of the main hindrances in treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Previous studies have shown that nanoparticles could be used to deliver drugs to the brain to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Nanoparticles made using medicinal plants could potentially reflect the medicinal properties possessed by the plants themselves. Cassia fistula and Centella asiatica are medicinal plants reported to have neuroprotective effects. For the present study, a combination of extracts from the above plants was used to produce Zinc Oxide nanoparticles. Phytochemical analysis was performed on the plant extracts and UV visible spectroscopy was used to confirm the formation of the nanoparticles.
