Phytochemical screening along with antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activity of (L.) bark extracts.

This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical content and biological properties of (L.) Roxb. Four extracts-acetone, methanol, ethanol, and chloroform-were tested for antioxidant potential, enzymatic activity (peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase), antimicrobial, and anticancer effects.

Sustainable heavy metal (Cr(VI) ion) remediation: Ternary blend approach with chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose, and bioactive glass.

Heavy metal pollution poses a significant environmental challenge to worldwide, especially in developing countries. This study focuses on eliminating the heavy metal chromium (VI) ion from wastewater, employing an eco-friendly and economical ternary blend composed of Chitosan (CS), Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and bioactive glass (BAG). The innovative bioactive glass is crafted from biosilica extracted from biowaste of cow dung ash, calcium oxide from eggshell ash, and phosphorus pentoxide.

Nanocarrier optimization: Encapsulating Hydrastis canadensis in chitosan nanoparticles for enhanced antibacterial and dye degradation performance.

This study focuses on the optimization of Hydrastis canadensis-based nanocarriers in environmental and microbial applications like antibacterial and dye degradation. Hydrastis canadensis (H. canadensis) is loaded into the nanocarrier using a gelation method.

N-Heterocyclic imino-catalyzed 1,4-regioselective azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC): a metal-free approach.

An unprecedented synthetic approach has been devised to efficiently synthesize regioselective 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. This technique relies on the use of innovative metal-free highly basic N-heterocyclic imino catalysts. The experimental observations have been supported further by TD-DFT computational studies.
