ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF Acalypha indica MEDIATED SELENIUM NANOPARTICLES | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Nanoparticles are a fascinating field because they cross the gap between bulk materials and atomic structures. Nanoparticles may be made from a number of materials, including proteins, polysaccharides, and synthetic polymers, and the materials used are determined by the nanoparticle size, biocompatibility, and toxicity. Selenium nanoparticles have gotten a lot of attention because of their beneficial properties and bioactivities, such as lower toxicity than inorganic and organic forms, and they've become a popular option in nanoparticle research. Acalypha indica is a tropical annual herb with erect, sometimes simple-stemmed stems that has been recognised by locals as a valuable source of medicine for a range of therapeutic treatments. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and cancer-fighting properties. Selenium nanoparticles, on the other hand, were appealing due to their properties.

Aim: To see whether selenium nanoparticles produced by A. indica have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

Methodology: Antioxidant Profile by DPPH activity and Well diffusion method for antimicrobial activity were performed after the preparation of A.indica mediated Selenium nanoparticles.

A. indica mediated the results. Se nanoparticles have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Conclusion: At high concentrations, Acalypha indica-mediated selenium nanoparticles have strong antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
