Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of Clitoria ternatea extract mediated selenium nanoparticles

Abstract

Selenium was used to hydrothermally synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using Clitoria ternatea extract, which is an important trace ingredient for human health. The green synthesis of nanoparticles has created a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable procedure for synthesis of non-materials, as well as raising healthy strategies. DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to investigate the antioxidant activity. At 50ml, the synthesized nanoparticles showed most antioxidant activity by scavenging 89.1% DPPH and excellent anti-inflammatory activity by dose-dependently reducing inflammation at inhibition percentage of 85.5%, which was found to be higher than the control. Selenium nanoparticles synthesized from Clitoria ternatea may be used as possible candidates for biomedical and environmental applications due to their eco-friendly synthesis, nontoxicity, and biocompatibility.
