Abstract
The purpose of in vitro testing in the present study is to demonstrate the antidiabetic activity and anti-inflammatory activity of biosynthesized gold nanoparticle (AuNp) from Turbinaria conoides. The anti-diabetic activity by different in vitro methods method, anti-inflammatory activity by HRBC membrane stabilization assay and anticoagulant activity by calculating prothrombin time was carried out in the concentration range of (50 μl/ml, 100 μl/ml and 200 μl/ml) respectively. The inhibition rate of gold nanoparticle from Turbinaria conoides exhibited significantly maximum activity of 57.3% at concentration of 200 μg/ml and minimum level inhibition of 42.9% in 50 μl when compared with the standard drug Glinil that showed inhibition of maximum 85.6% and minimum 77.1%.
