“…Abdel-Moneim [ 52 ], used SeNPs against different phytopathogenic fungi. Vrandecic et al [ 122 ], reported the strong antifungal activity of SeNPs stabilized with different coating agents Ali et al [ 123 ], reported the antifungal activity of SeNPs against Candida albicans . In studies with Candida glabrata it has been found that SeNPs attach and agglomerate on the surface of cells, cause loss of membrane’s smoothness, appearance of bulges and impairment of membrane’s integrity [ 124 ].…”

Plant extract-based green synthesis of nanoparticles is an emerging class of nanotechnology that has revolutionized the entire field of biological sciences. Green synthesized nanoparticles are used as super-growth promoters and antifungal agents. In this study, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were synthesized using Melia azedarach leaves extract as the main reducing and stabilizing agent and characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The green synthesized SeNPs were exogenously applied on Mangifera indica infected with mango malformation disease. The SeNPs at a concentration of 30 μg/mL were found to be the best concentration which enhanced the physiological (chlorophyll and membrane stability index), and biochemical (proline and soluble sugar) parameters. The antioxidant defense system was also explored, and it was reported that green synthesized SeNPs significantly reduced the biotic stress by enhancing enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities. In vitro antifungal activity of SeNPs reported that 300 μg/mL concentration inhibited the Fusarium mangiferae the most. This study is considered the first biocompatible approach to evaluate the potential of green synthesized SeNPs to improve the health of mango malformation-infected plants and effective management strategy to inhibit the growth of F. mangifera.

“…The synthesized nanoparticles were assessed for the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties by albumin denaturation assay and α, α-diphenyl-β-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging assay. From the synthesized selenium nanoparticles, both the antiinflammatory and antioxidant activities showed a good percentage of inhibition [32][33][34][35].…”

Introduction: Boerhavia diffusa belongs to species of flowering plant which is commonly called as *punarnava*. Its leaves are used as green leafy vegetables, with its high anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties selenium particles are synthesised. Selenium particles are used as nutritional supplements and an anti-microbial coating. Selenium (Se) was found to have anti-inflammatory properties, but its bioavailability and toxicity are limiting factors considerably. Aim: To find the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Boerhavia diffusa mediated selenium nanoparticles Materials and Methods: 1 gm of Boerhaavia diffusawas added to 100 ml of distilled water and allowed to boil for 10-15 minutes at 70 degree celsius and filtered. 60 ml of 20 milli molar sodium selenite is prepared in 250 ml of conical flask, 40 ml of filtered plant extract was mixed to it. The synthesized nanoparticle was preliminarily analysed using UV visible spectroscopy. Prior to the final step the nanoparticle solution was centrifuged at 8000 rpm to prepare nanoparticle pellet powder, it was dried in a hot air oven at 80 degree celsius. The dried powder was sent for characterisation. The leftover nanoparticle solution extract was sent to evaluate antioxidant activity through DPPH assay and anti-inflammatory activity through albumin denaturation assay. Results: Selenium nanoparticles were achieved from boerhavia diffusa plant extract, which was evident with its significant colour change in the cultivation medium. The final centrifuge was found to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Conclusion: The selenium nanoparticles synthesized from leaf extract of Boerhaavia diffusa were evaluated for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study concludes that extract bound selenium nanoparticles had potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Therefore selenium nanoparticles may provide a great implication in the later studies for its potential activity.

Colon cancer is the third most frequent cancer in humans. Carica papaya leaves are vegetable foods consumed by most people around the world; it has potential as an anticancer. Therefore it is of interest to investigate the effect of Carica papaya on beta catenin and Wnt mRNA expression in human colon cancer (HT-29) cells in vitro. Human Colon cancer cell line (HT-29) was purchased from the National Centre for Cell Sciences, Pune, India. Cell viability test was done by MTT assay. Gene expression analysis was done by Real Time-PCR. The obtained data were analyzed statistically by one-way analysis of variance and Duncan's multiple range test with Graph Pad Prism version 5 to analyze the significance of individual variations among the control and experimental groups. The significance was considered at p<0.05 level in Duncan's test. Carica papaya caused a marked increase in cell death in a dose dependent manner. At the end of 48 hours, maximum inhibition was at 300 and 400 μg/ml. Carica papaya has significantly reduced the mRNA expression of Wnt and beta catenin (p<0.05). Data showed that Carica papaya leaf extract has anticancer activity on Colon cancer cell lines (HT-29).
