Selenium was used to hydrothermally synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using Clitoria ternatea extract, which is an important trace ingredient for human health. The green synthesis of nanoparticles has created a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable procedure for synthesis of non-materials, as well as raising healthy strategies. DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to investigate the antioxidant activity. At 50ml, the synthesized nanoparticles showed most antioxidant activity by scavenging 89.1% DPPH and excellent anti-inflammatory activity by dose-dependently reducing inflammation at inhibition percentage of 85.5%, which was found to be higher than the control. Selenium nanoparticles synthesized from Clitoria ternatea may be used as possible candidates for biomedical and environmental applications due to their eco-friendly synthesis, nontoxicity, and biocompatibility.
