Paper Title:
Synthesis of Selenium Nanoparticles from neem seeds, and their antibacterial and anticancer activities against Vibrio cholerae and Breast cancer cell lines.
In recent years, the synthesis of nanoparticles using plant-derived extracts has garnered significant attention due to its eco-friendly nature and potential biomedical applications. This study investigates the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) from Azadirachta indica (neem) seeds and evaluates their antibacterial and anticancer activities. Selenium nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing sodium selenite with the aqueous extract of neem seeds. The synthesis process was characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, confirming the formation of spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 30-50 nm. The antibacterial potential of the SeNPs was assessed against Vibrio cholerae, a major causative agent of cholera, using disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods. The SeNPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity, with a clear inhibition zone and a low MIC, indicating their potential as a therapeutic agent for cholera. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects of the SeNPs were evaluated on breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) using MTT assays. The SeNPs showed a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability, suggesting potent anticancer activity. This study highlights the potential of neem seed-derived selenium nanoparticles as a promising candidate for antimicrobial and anticancer therapies, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative for treating bacterial infections and cancer.
