Anti-inflammatory activity of Euphorbia Tirucalli Mediated Selenium nanoparticles: An in vitro study
Main Article Content
Keywords
Anti-inflammatory activity, Aqueous extract of Euphorbia Tirucalli, Selenium Nanoparticle
Abstract
Nanomaterials have become a promising commodity in numerous industries during the past decade, including cosmetics, healthcare, biomedicine, and food. Selenium, a "drug nanocarrier," has potent antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study is aimed at synthesizing selenium nanoparticles using Euphorbia tirucalli to characterize and evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the Euphorbia tirucalli stem extract mediated by selenium nanoparticles.
Materials and methods: E.tirucalli extract was prepared. The biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles was measured using UV vis spectrometry at wavelengths of 300-600 nm and the anti-inflammatory activity was determined using Bovine Serum Albumin at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μl.
Results: The inhibition percentage was maximum at 81.2 % at IC50 concentration. The percentage of inhibitions was higher than the standard values in all the concentrations.
Conclusion: Selenium nanoparticles induced aqueous stem extract of Euphorbia tirucalli showed a higher percentage of inhibition when compared to standard. Hence, this can be used in commercial medical products to reduce inflammation and swelling.
