Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using Caffeoylxanthiazonoside, chemical isolated from Xanthium strumarium L. fruit and their Anti-allergic rhinitis effect- a traditional Chinese medicine

This study significantly aims to analyze the effect of CFX coated gold nanoparticles on the allergic rhinitis in mouse model. Female BALB/C mice were intraperitoneally injected with ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide in order to sensitize on 0th, 7th, 14th, and 21st day. Nano‑gold was also nasally inoculated earlier to the intranasal administration of OVA. The acuteness of allergic rhinitis was evaluated based on the nasal indications, interleukin IL-4, and interferon (INF)-γ levels present in the NLF of mice. Also, Hematoxylin-eosin as well as Schiff-periodic acid stain assays were carried out to briefly investigate the histological modifications in the sensitized mice. Nano‑gold reduced the incidence of nasal symptoms as well as minimized the IL-4 production, no impact was showed over...
