Multifunctional oil-produced reduced graphene oxide - Silver oxide composites with photocatalytic, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities.

Graphene-based nanomaterials that combine significant photocatalytic, antioxidant and antibacterial activity are very attractive candidates for biomedical and environmental applications. Conventional chemical synthesis routes may contaminate the resultant materials with toxic molecules, compromising their properties and limiting their use in biomedical applications. Ideally, to avoid any contamination, the nanomaterials should be synthesized from non-toxic precursors and reagents, e.

In vitro and in silico antimicrobial activity of sterol and flavonoid isolated from Trianthema decandra L.

Phytochemical study on the leaves of Trianthema decandra leads to the isolation and characterization of two compounds from chloroform extract. The compounds were characterized using HPLC, UV, FT-IR, NMR, LCMS and CHNS. The structure of compounds were elucidated from spectral data and named according to rules laid down in IUPAC nomenclature.

Antibacterial activity of flavonoid isolated from Trianthema decandra against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and molecular docking study of FabZ.
