摘要：Ficus benghalensis commonly called the “banyan” is the native and remarkable Indian tree that is useful in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions. It belongs to the family “Moraceae”. The tree plays a crucial role in the wound healing process as it produces special bioactive components. It has many beneficial pharmacological activities which are further helpful in various medical fields. Copper nanoparticles are used in this study because of their strong stability in existing both physical and chemical nature. It is also economical and easily available. Cytotoxicity is a process of being toxic to the cells. The cytotoxic activity of the Ficus benghalensis is tested to mediate any possible treatments for general disorders. Ficus benghalensis plant extract was prepared and then the copper nanoparticles were synthesized and its based mouthwash was prepared. Then the cytotoxic activity at concentration of 10 mg of the prepared mouthwash per μL at volume 5µL, 10 µL, 20 µL, 40 µL, 80 µL and control in a 6 well cell culture plate was assessed. The cytotoxicity was observed to be 10, 10, 9, 8, 8, 10 live nauplii at the differentiating concentrations of 10 mg per μL of the mouthwash at volume 5 µL, 10 µL, 20 µL, 40 µL, 80 µL, and control wells respectively after 48 hrs. Ficus benghalensis mediated copper nanoparticles mouthwash was not toxic to the living nauplii as it did not cause the death of it.
