Potential use of gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles derived from peel for anticancer compound, protocatechuic acid delivery.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most killing cancers and this has become a global problem. Current treatment and anticancer drugs cannot specifically target the cancerous cells, thus causing toxicity towards surrounding non-cancer cells. Hence, there is an urgent need to discover a more target-specific therapeutic agent to overcome this problem.

Green Synthesized Montmorillonite/Carrageenan/FeO Nanocomposites for pH-Responsive Release of Protocatechuic Acid and Its Anticancer Activity.

Discovery of a novel anticancer drug delivery agent is important to replace conventional cancer therapies which are often accompanied by undesired side effects. This study demonstrated the synthesis of superparamagnetic magnetite nanocomposites (FeO-NCs) using a green method. Montmorillonite (MMT) was used as matrix support, while FeO nanoparticles (NPs) and carrageenan (CR) were used as filler and stabilizer, respectively.

Potential anticancer activity of protocatechuic acid loaded in montmorillonite/FeO nanocomposites stabilized by seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii.

Superparamagnetic magnetite nanocomposites (FeO-NCs) were successfully synthesized, which comprised of montmorillonite (MMT) as matrix support, Kappaphycus alvarezii (SW) as bio-stabilizer and FeO as filler in the composites to form MMT/SW/FeO-NCs. Nanocomposite with 0.5 g FeO (MMT/SW/0.

Bio-Mediated Synthesis and Characterisation of Silver Nanocarrier, and Its Potent Anticancer Action.

Discovery of a potent drug nanocarrier is crucial for cancer therapy in which drugs often face challenges in penetrating efficiently into solid tumours. Here, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a waste material, (GM) fruit peel extract is demonstrated. The best condition for AgNPs synthesis was with 0.

Green Synthesis of Magnetite (Fe3O4) Nanoparticles Using Seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) Extract.

In this study, a simple, rapid, and eco-friendly green method was introduced to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) successfully. Seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (K. alvarezii) was employed as a green reducing and stabilizing agents.
