Abstract: 
The present study was to investigate the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of triphala and its green synthesized silver nanoparticles using the human red blood cells membrane stabilization method and protein denaturation method and the results were compared with standard diclofenac sodium. The presence of flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, carbohydrates, and glycosides were found in phytochemical screening. The plant extract and the silver nanoparticles showed positive anti-inflammatory activity through HRBC membrane stabilization and inhibition of protein denaturation in a concentration-dependent manner. The study was concluded that the hydroalcoholic extract and SNPs of triphala exhibited potent anti-inflammatory agent due to the presence of important chemical constituents such as polyphenols and flavonoids and this anti-inflammatory properties help in the prevention of many chronic disorders.
