Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION: Nanomaterials are extensively used for biological applications especially for better drug delivery and bioavailability. Selenium nanoparticle has broad spectrum of activity and advantage. In this claim tamarind extract based selenium nanoparticles were prepared by green synthesis to formulate a wound healing gel. Wound infections are common as the surface of the wound is susceptible to biofilm formation with many bacteria. Application of a wound healing gel can prevent bacterial growth and thereby can protect from further infection. In wound infection there is an increase in proinflammatory factors which can affect wound healing negatively. Hence the gel with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity will be of high therapeutic value. Antibacterial agents which can prevent the development of bacterial biofilms in the infected tissues will have great advantage in healing the wound. Even though silver compounds have good antibacterial property it can interfere with the assessment of wound healing as it can damage the tissue and cause discoloration of the wound itself. Tamarind extract is an easily available consumable product obtained from Tomorind indico. It is well known for its versatile pharmacological actions. Tamarind pulp contains alkaloid, tannin, saponin, flavonoid and phenols, terpenoid, glycoside anthraquinone and reducing sugar. Here it served as a reducing agent to produce selenium particles by green synthesis. The wound healing gel showed excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and property less cytotoxic effect
