Antioxidant Activity of Silymarin/Hydroxyapatite/Chitosan Nano Composites - An In Vitro Study

Nanoparticles and nano-composites are major advanced materials used in many medical and dental applications. In this present investigation, we have prepared silymarin, chitosan and hydroxyapatite based nanocomposite using magnetic stirring. The prepared nanocomposite characterized using UV-vis spectroscopic analysis. The free radical scavenging activity of prepared nanocomposites was tested using DPPH assay. The results are statically analyzed and the antioxidant results are good for nanocomposite materials. Based on the results the prepred nanocomposites may used in various dental applications.
