BIOGENIC SYNTHESIS OF Solanum trilobatum MEDIATED BY SELENIUM NANOPARTICLES AND ITS CYTOTOXICITY AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Aim: To estimate the antioxidant and cytotoxicity activity of selenium nanoparticles-mediated Solanum trilobatum.

Introduction: One of the most essential medicinal plants emerging in the southern regions of India is Solanum trilobatum, commonly called thuthuvalai. It is traditionally used in the treatment of different ailments. Certain illnesses such as tuberculosis, respiratory disorders and bronchial asthma are said to be healed. Phytochemical analysis of different extracts, such as chloroform, S. water. The existence of secondary metabolites such as steroids, triterpenoids, carbohydrates, sugar reducers and phenolic compounds was demonstrated by trilobatum. S. Antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity activity, protective effect, haemolytic activity are said to be possessed by trilobatum.

Materials and Methods: The plant extract was prepared and the UV-Beckmann spectrometer was used to synthesise nanoparticles. The nanoparticles that were synthesised were then centrifuged. Following centrifugation, pellet collection was completed. This has been used to test various properties, such as antioxidants and cytotoxicity. The antioxidant property was tested as a normal solution using a DPPH assay where ascorbic acid was used. Wells were used for the cytotoxicity operation, where the mortality rate of the shrimps was calculated when selenium nanoparticle-mediated plant extracts of different concentrations were applied.

Results: In the case of cytotoxicity activity, solanum trilobatum induced by selenium nanoparticles showed elevated LD 50 in higher concentrations. In comparison with regular ascorbic acid, the plant extract mediated selenium nanoparticle had a major impact on antioxidant function.

Conclusion: Therefore, the selenium nanoparticle mediated by Solanum trilobatum expresses strong antioxidant activity and potent cytotoxicity. Hence, for further study, it can be taken up.
