Background: The current study aimed to develop an economic plant-based therapeutic agent to improve the treatment strategies for diseases at the nano-scale because Cancer and Diabetes mellitus are major concerns in developing countries. Therefore, and antidiabetic and anti-cancerous activities of conjugated silver nanoparticles were assessed.
Methods: In the current study synthesis of silver nanoparticles using and characterization were done using a scanning electron microscope, UV-visible spectrophotometer, and FTIR analysis.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on synthesizing gold nanoparticles using the plant extract of Ajuga bracteosa, a medicinal herb from the Himalayas.
- The antibacterial properties of the synthesized gold nanoparticles and the supernatant from the extract were tested against pathogenic bacteria, showing that the supernatant had the strongest antibacterial effect, particularly against E. coli.
- Additionally, the anticancer potential of the nanoparticles was evaluated on specific cell lines, revealing that the gold nanoparticles had an inhibitory effect, especially on one of the cell lines, and the supernatant contained toxic compounds identified through GC-MS analysis.
Probiotics frontier in depressing the clinical bacterial pathogens to avoid multidrug resistance phenomenon. The present study aimed to determine the antibacterial efficiency of chitosan encapsulated probiotics isolated from buffalo milk samples against clinical bacterial pathogens. The Agar well method was used for antibacterial activity.
