Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive condition marked by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons, which leads to various movement difficulties and other symptoms.
  • Pramipexole (PPX) is a drug used for PD treatment, but it has limitations such as a short half-life and side effects, prompting research into enhanced formulations like PPX-loaded nanoparticles.
  • The study developed a new biodegradable nanoparticle complex (PPX-PVP-CuO NC) that significantly improved treatment outcomes in a PD model by enhancing behavior and reducing oxidative stress markers, suggesting it could be a promising therapeutic option for managing PD.

We report green synthesis of multifunctional ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using Artocarpus gomezianus (AG) extract as fuel by solution combustion synthesis. The formation of NPs was confirmed by powder XRD, SEM, TEM and UV-Visible studies. The NPs were subjected for photoluminescence, photodegradative and antioxidant studies.

Zinc oxide nanopowders were synthesized by solution combustion method using Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) a tea catechin as fuel. The structure and morphology of the product was characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, photoluminescence and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The nanopowders (Nps) were subjected to photocatalytic and biological activities such as antimicrobial and antioxidant studies.
