Biotechnology of camptothecin production in Nothapodytes nimmoniana, Ophiorrhiza sp. and Camptotheca acuminata.

Cancer is probably the deadliest human disease in recent years. In the past few years, rapid clinical progress has been made in the field of anticancer drug development. Plant secondary metabolites have been noted as extremely efficacious as promising natural source for anticancer therapy for many years.

Anticancer Properties of Different Solvent Extracts of L. Seeds and Whole Fruit and Their Metabolite Profiling Using HPLC and GC-MS.

Honeydew melon ( L.) is an oval-shaped delicious fruit of one cultivar group of the muskmelon with immense nutritional importance and is extensively consumed by many tropical countries. The effect of various organic solvents on the recovery of phytochemicals from honeydew melon plant fruits and seeds was assessed.

Anticancer and Antibacterial Activities of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) Synthesized from L.

The current investigation reports the structural and biological evaluation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) biosynthesized from the pericarp extract of L. (muskmelon). The AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and EDAX (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy).
