Evaluation of curcumin nanoemulsion effect to prevent intestinal damage.

Curcumin has gained great prominence for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. However, studies have reported the low bioavailability of orally administered curcumin. This work aimed to evaluate the characteristics, stability and effects of a curcumin-carrying nanoemulsion in preventing intestinal damage induced by indomethacin.

Cytotoxic, antioxidant, and antiglycation activities, and tyrosinase inhibition using silver nanoparticles synthesized by leaf extract of Jacq.

The present study aimed to determine the biological properties of an extract of aqueous extract (SaCE) alone as well as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) generated by green synthesis utilizing aqueous extract (SaCE). These synthesized SaCE AgNPs were characterized using UV-VIS spectrophotometry, scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), zeta potential (ZP), dynamic light scattering (DLS). Determination of total polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins content was conducted.
