This research study investigated the structural features involved in synthesizing an alginate-ZnO nanocomposite with anti-inflammatory activity. Chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were combined with sodium alginate to produce a nanocomposite. The formation of the nanocomposites was confirmed through various analytical techniques, including ATR infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The anti-inflammatory effect of Alg-ZnO NCs administered orally as a preventive measure was assessed by measuring the percentage of inhibition of edema induced by carrageenin in mice. Alg-ZnO demonstrated significant inhibition of carrageenan-induced paw edema.
