Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have garnered significant interest as anticancer and antimicrobial agents. The aqueous extract of medicinal plant Drimia indica leaves (DI-LAE) was used to synthesize SeNPs (DI-SeNPs) that were extensively characterized by UV-visible absorbance, TEM, EDX, XRD, zeta potential measurements, and FTIR. DI-SeNPs exhibited dose-dependent toxicity against the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549; IC of 43.
