The current study examines the anticancer properties of the chemical carthamidin in breast cancer through in-vitro and in silico analysis. This study's results demonstrated that carthamidin strongly inhibited the proliferation of MCF 7 cells in vitro, as evidenced by an IC50 value of 128.65 µg/mL at 24 h, determined using the MTT test.

The synthesized PoAgNPs were exclusively characterized through UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The synthesized nanoparticles showed strong absorbance around 430 nm with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and exhibited a face-centered cubic crystalline nature in XRD analysis.

Methods: Alpha amylase inhibitory assay was used to asses the antidiabetic activity of the extracts. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was performed to identify the volatile molecules of the extracts.
In this study, the leaf extract of an important medicinal plant L. (CC) was employed as a green reducing agent to synthesise highly-stable silver nanoparticles (CCAgNPs). The reduction of Ag to Ag nanoparticles was initially observed by a colour change which generates an intense surface plasmon resonance peak at 417 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

Upon screening for novel and potential biocompounds with larvicidal activities, we successfully isolated hamisonine (HMSN) a limonoid compound from endophytic fungi Penicillium oxalicum LA-1 of Limonia acidissima. The extracted compound structure was elucidated by spectral studies such as UV-vis spectroscopy, thin-layer chromatography, FTIR, LC-ESI-MS, H NMR, and C NMR upon comparing with the spectral data available in the literature. Further, the isolated HMSN was tested against III and IV instar Culex quinquefasciatus larvae.
