Rational design of full-spectrum visible-light-responsive bimetallic sulfide BiS/CoS composites for high-efficiency photocatalytic degradation of naproxen and bacterial inactivation.

Photocatalytic water decontamination has emerged as a highly promising technology for efficient and rapid water treatment, harnessing sustainable solar energy as its driving force. In this study, we prepared visible-light active BiS/CoS composites for the degradation of naproxen (NPX) and the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Construction of g-CN/CdS/BiVO ternary nanocomposite with enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity toward methylene blue dye degradation in the aqueous phase.

Herein, the ternary CdS/BiVO/g-CN (CBG) hybrid semiconductor photocatalyst was prepared via a hydrothermal technique. The synthesized photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized using powder XRD, XPS, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and UV-DRS to investigate the microstructural, morphological attributes, and optical properties. The photocatalytic activity of the ternary CBG hybrid semiconductor was assessed through the photodegradation of Methylene Blue (MB) aqueous dye under visible light.

MWCNT supported VO quantum dot nanoparticles decorated BiO nanosheets hybrid system: Efficient visible light driven photocatalyst for degradation of ciprofloxacin.

A novel composite of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) supported VO quantum dots decorated BiO hybrid was prepared by the simple wet-impregnation method, and the photocatalytic performance of the prepared samples was investigated against the photodegradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). Herein, different samples of pristine, VO/BiO and MWCNT@VO/BiO hybrid photocatalyst were prepared and systematically characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The characterization results demonstrated that the introduction of MWCNT can change the energy band gap of VO/BiO, and the band energies vary with a constituent of MWCNT@VO/BiO catalyst, in which MWCNT@VO/BiO-5 (0.

Anticarcinogenic effect of gold nanoparticles synthesized from on HCT-116 colon cancer cell lines.

Colon cancer is one of the major prevailing types of cancer worldwide. It has been the most important public health difficulty. Thus, we planned phytoconstituents arbitrated synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and examined their curative efficacy against the colon cancer (HCT-116) cells.

Facile one pot microwave-assisted green synthesis of FeO/Ag nanocomposites by phytoreduction: Potential application as sunlight-driven photocatalyst, antibacterial and anticancer agent.

Herein, we report a one-pot microwave assisted method to prepare an efficient FeO/Ag nanocomposites (NCs) using Aloe vera (A. vera) gel extract as a mild, safe, renewable and active stabilizer without any harmful reagent. The advanced characterization techniques including XRD, FT-IR, UV-DRS, PL, TGA, SEM-EDX, TEM, DLS, Elemental mapping, VSM and BET were applied to analyze the morphology and structure of the prepared FeO/Ag NCs.

Catalytic Activity and Kinetic Modeling of Various Modules HZMS-5 and Treated MCM-41 Catalysts, for the Liquid-Phase Ketalization of Glycerol With Acetone.

Studies of the Ketalization reaction using trivalent alcohol glycerol in combination with acetone and their kinetics modeling are still limited. The focus of this current study is an investigation into HZSM-5 with various silica to alumina molar ratios (M = 35, 90, and 160) for the reaction between glycerol and acetone. In addition, the influence of reaction temperatures (25, 50, and 60°C) on the rate of the reaction have also been considered.

Effect of Leaf Extract on Glucose Transporter 4 Translocation and Glucose Uptake in 3T3L1 Cell Line.

Background: Numerous synthetic drugs have been recommended as a remedy for diabetes, but their role in hypoglycemic effects are diverse. The side effects associated with these drugs due to their extended use led scientists to find unconventional medicines with no or little side effects.

Aim: This study was aimed at assessment of antidiabetic activities of methanolic extract of leaves by using 3T3L1 cell line.

Molecular docking and ADMET analysis of hydroxamic acids as HDAC2 inhibitors.

Histone deacetylase (HDAC2) belongs to the hydrolase family and a promising target for cancers. We reported 96 hydroxamic compounds optimized using hydrogen-donors, hydrophobic and electron withdrawing groups followed by molecular docking studies. The optimized compounds show good LibDock score and H-bond interaction in the active site of HDAC2.
