PREPARATION OF SELENIUM NANOPARTICLES USING HERBAL FORMULATION AND ITS ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY: AN in vitro STUDY | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Background: Compared to different organic and inorganic sources of selenium compounds, selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) have excellent biocompatibility, bioefficacy, and low toxicity. Se NPs also show positive therapeutic efficacy against various conditions driven by oxidative stress and inflammation.


Goal: The aim of the study was to check the antioxidant activity of the herbal formulations of cloves and cinnamon.

Materials and methods: Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) were powdered and weighed with 5 grammes of powdered cloves and 5 grammes of powdered cinnamon and blended with 100 ml of distilled water. There was a prepared aqueous extract. The extract was then tested using the DPPH assay for antioxidant activity.

Results: Clove and cinnamon extract aqua alcoholic extract showed the highest absorption at a concentration of 10 μl (42.5 percent) when subjected to a DPPH assay to verify its antioxidant function at a wavelength of 355 nm.

Conclusion: It can be inferred that selenium nanoparticles mediated by cloves and cinnamon have the potential to be used as an efficient antioxidant. It can also be employed in large-scale manufacturing and used in many medicinal applications.
