A Novel Phytocolorant, Neoxanthin, as a Potent Chemopreventive: Current Progress and Future Prospects.

Cancer is a general term for a group of similar diseases. It is a combined process that results from an accumulation of abnormalities at different biological levels, which involves changes at both genetic and biochemical levels in the cells. Several modifiable risk factors for each type of cancer include heredity, age, and institutional screening guidelines, including colonoscopy, mammograms, prostate-specific antigen testing, etc.

Algal-derived nanoparticles and their antibacterial potential: Current evidence and future prospectives.

Green nanotechnology provides efficient solutions for converting biological systems to green approaches through nanomaterial synthesis and thus preventing any associated toxicity. Green nanoparticle (NP) synthesis involves the use of biological sources for synthesis of metallic NPs for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications in an eco-friendly and comparatively economical manner. Nanotechnology is a promising technology with a wide range of pharmaceutical applications in the modern world because it provides a higher surface area (SA) to volume (Vol) ratio.

A state-of-the-art review on fucoidan as an antiviral agent to combat viral infections.

As a significant public health hazard with several drug side effects during medical treatment, searching for novel therapeutic natural medicines is promising. Sulfated polysaccharides from algae, such as fucoidan, have been discovered to have a variety of medical applications, including antibacterial and immunomodulatory properties. The review emphasized on the utilization of fucoidan as an antiviral agent against viral infections by inhibiting their attachment and replication.
