This study demonstrates a novel nanostructured drug delivery system utilizing α-FeO/CuO/CuFeO ternary nanocomposite for effective drug transport in sick tissues. Centella Asiatica plant extract was employed to synthesize the FeO/CuO/CuFeO nanocomposite via sol-gel auto combustion technique. The structural and morphological characteristics of the nanocomposite were investigated by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, and VSM for magnetic properties.

The current study is intended to enhance unique bioactive and eco-friendly composite films following a simple solvent-casting approach by incorporating cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) with a chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. Antimicrobial activity, preservation impact, mechanisms for the edible berry tomatoes and physicochemical properties of the produced films were tested. FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRD, UV-vis spectroscopy and contact angle were used to characterize the films.

The present perspective emphasizes the green synthesis of CeO-NPs using fruit extract. The synthesized NPs were characterized utilizing analytical techniques, including FT-IR, UV-vis, XRD, SEM-EDX, and VSM. Of them, XRD analysis ratifies the cubic fluorite crystal structure along with a particle size of 23.

Article Synopsis
  • The Sundarbans, a UNESCO heritage site, is one of the largest mangrove forests and has been under-studied for its endophytic fungi, leading to the isolation of fourteen fungal strains from local mangrove plants.
  • Five of the strains were identified through microscopic observation, and their extracts demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against several bacterial strains, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 5 to 0.078 mg/mL.
  • The study also successfully isolated three compounds (fumigaclavine C, azaspirofuran B, and fraxetin) from one highly active endophyte, with fraxetin being reported for the first time from this source, indicating potential for discovering new antimicrobial
