Zusammenfassung: | Nanotechnology is an important field of modern research dealing with design, synthesis, and manipulation of particle structures ranging from approximately 1-100 nm. Nanoparticles (NPs) have wide range of applications in areas such as health care, cosmetics, food and feed, environmental health, biomedical sciences, chemical industries, drug-gene delivery etc. Cinchona officinalis, commonly known as the cinchona tree, is a flowering plant species in the Rubiaceae family. It is a medicinal plant, one of several Cinchona species that produce quinine and other compounds. Quinine and other compounds are effective anti-fever agents and are particularly useful in preventing and treating malaria. In the present study, the use of natural herb i.e, Cinchona officinalis has various medicinal applications including treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, flatulence, and loss of appetite etc., Zinc oxide nanoparticles were loaded with Cinchona officinalis extract and were synthesized successfully by the chemical reduction method. Nanotechnology deals with the processing of separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or by one molecule. The foremost conditions for the synthesis of nanoparticles are the selection of green or environment-friendly solvent, a good reducing agent, and a harmless material for stabilization. Zinc oxide nanoparticles, loaded with Cinchona officinalis extract. A detailed characterization of synthesized nanoparticles was carried out using different techniques such as X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
