Phytochemical constituents, ferric reducing and radical scavenging activities of .

is used for the treatment of viral infections and respiratory ailments. This study aimed to determine the phytochemical constituents and antioxidants (using ABTS, DPPH and FRAP) of water and methanol extracts. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, phytosterols, tannins, glycosides etc.

Green synthesis and characterization of ruthenium oxide nanoparticles using Gunnera perpensa for potential anticancer activity against MCF7 cancer cells.

The use of green methods for ruthenium oxide nanoparticles (RuONPs) synthesis is gaining attention due to their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and availability. However, reports on the green synthesis and characterization of RuONPs are limited compared to other metal nanoparticles. The green synthesis and characterization of RuONPs using water extracts of Gunnera perpensa leaves as a reducing agent is reported in this study.

Zinc(II) - Syringic acid complexation synergistically exerts antioxidant action and modulates glucose uptake and utilization in L-6 myotubes and rat muscle tissue.

Zinc and syringic acid have metabolic and antioxidant medicinal potentials. A novel zinc(II)-syringic acid complex with improved anti-hyperglycaemic and antioxidant potential was developed. Zinc(II) was complexed with syringic acid in a 1:2 molar ratio and characterized using FT-IR, H NMR and LC-MS.
