Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have shown more promise than other forms of selenium due to their low cytotoxicity and high bioavailability.Methods: In this work, a one-step method was demonstrated for fabricating bovine serum albumin (BSA) stabilized SeNPs using ascorbic acid as the reductant. Human dermal fibroblasts were used to assess mammalian cytotoxicity, and Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were used to assess antibacterial performance.Results: These SeNPs demonstrated increased fibroblast growth and reduced Staphylococcus aureus growth with a fibroblast IC50 value (>681 μg/mL) 1 order of magnitude higher than that for bacteria at day 1.Conclusion: This study demonstrated the promise of this synthesis process in achieving controllable selenium nanoparticle sizes without the use of strong basic solvents for improved antibacterial properties.Keywords: selenium, green synthesis, nanoparticles, antibacterial, ascorbic acidChung SZhou RWebster TJDove Medical Pressarticleseleniumgreen synthesisnanoparticlesantibacterialascorbic acidMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 115-124 (2020) |
