Biogenic Synthesis of Photosensitive Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Using Citron Waste Peel Extract and Evaluation of Their Antibacterial and Anticarcinogenic Potential.

Background: Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) have been fabricated by several approaches, including green chemistry approach due to diverse application and versatile features.

Objectives: The current study aimed to prepare a convenient, biocompatible, and economically viable MgONPs using waste citron peel extract (CP-MgONPs) to evaluate their biological applications.

Methods: The CP-MgONPs were synthesized by a sustainable approach from extract of waste citron peel both as capping and reducing agents without use of any hazardous material.

Nutritional Modulation of Periodontal Diseases: A Narrative Review of Recent Evidence.

The role of nutrition in managing periodontal diseases is a dynamic and evolving area of study. This review presents an in-depth analysis of various nutritional elements, including essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins (D, E, and C), coenzyme Q10, melatonin, and probiotics, and their impact on periodontal health. It synthesizes findings from randomized clinical trials and observational studies to highlight the multifaceted influence of these nutrients on periodontal disease management.

Isolation and validated HPTLC analysis of four cytotoxic compounds, including a new sesquiterpene from aerial parts of Plectranthus cylindraceus.

We report isolation of a new sesquiterpene (compound 2: plectranol A) along with three known compounds (1: maaliol, 3: penduletin and 4: chrysosplenol D) from the aerial parts of Plectranthus cylindraceus Hoechst. Ex. Benth ethyl acetate extract (PCEAE).
