Evaluation of Genotoxic and Hemolytic Effects of and Biomass Extracts on Human Blood Cells In Vitro.

This study explores the in vitro effects of cyanotoxins from the methanolic extract of the cyanobacteria and on human blood cells, with samples drawn from the Gruža reservoir in Serbia. These cyanobacteria, which made up 98.5% of the reservoir's phytoplankton, reached densities of 4,656,450 cells mL, with (3,105,120 cells mL) as the dominant species, followed by (1,480,130 cells mL).

DNA interaction of selected tetrahydropyrimidine and its effects against CCl-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo: Part II.

Tetrahydropyrimidine (compound A = methyl 4-[4'-(heptyloxy)-3'-methoxyphenyl]-1,6-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate) was chosen for in vivo studies after exhibiting noteworthy in vitro activity against the K562 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, with IC values of 9.20 ± 0.14 µM and 12.

Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using L. Aerial Part and Root Extracts: Bioactivity, Biocompatibility, and Catalytic Potential.

The aim of this research was the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SPA- and SPR-AgNPs) using the aqueous extracts of the aerial (SPA) and the root (SPR) parts of the plant L., their characterization, reaction condition optimization, and evaluation of their biological and catalytic activity. UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy with EDS analysis (SEM/EDS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis were utilized to characterize the nanoparticles, while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to detect some functional groups of compounds present in the plant extracts and nanoparticles.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using and Extracts: Optimization of Synthesis, Biological Activities, and Catalytic Properties.

The study's objective was to obtain silver nanoparticles (SVAgNP and FUAgNP) using aqueous extracts of and . The optimal conditions for nanoparticle synthesis were determined and obtained; nanoparticles were then characterized using UV-Vis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). SVAgNP and FUAgNP possessed a crystalline structure with 48.

Application potential of biogenically synthesized silver nanoparticles using L. extracts as pharmaceuticals and catalysts for organic pollutant degradation.

This study was designed to evaluate the optimal conditions for the eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using L. (Lythraceae) aqueous extracts and their potential application and safe use. AgNPs synthesized using aerial parts (LSA-AgNPs) and root extract (LSR-AgNPs) were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD).

Antioxidant Effects of L. Attenuate the Anxiogenic Effect of Cisplatin in Rats.

Numerous adverse effects of cisplatin-based therapy are usually accompanied by enhanced oxidative damage and cell apoptosis in various tissues. Even neurotoxic manifestations of cisplatin administration, such as the anxiogenic effect, appear along with the increased oxidative stress and apoptotic indicators in certain brain regions. Thirty-five Wistar albino male rats were divided into seven groups: control, cisplatin (received a single dose of cisplatin: 7.

Analysis of Wild Raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.): Optimization of the Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction of Phenolics and a New Insight in Phenolics Bioaccessibility.

A simple and efficient ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) technique was developed in order to find optimal conditions for the extraction of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and anthocyanins in wild raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) fruits. Several extraction variables, including methanol composition (v/v, %), solid-solvent ratio (g/mL), time (min) and extraction temperature (°C) were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).
