identification of colchicine derivatives as novel and potential inhibitors based on molecular docking and dynamic simulations targeting multifactorial drug targets involved in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by a gradual and steady deterioration in cognitive function over time. At least 50 million people worldwide are considered to have AD or another form of dementia. AD is marked by a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, memory deterioration and neurodegenerative transformations within the brain.

-Manganese Ferrite-Reduced Graphene Oxide-Based Nanomaterial: A Novel Adsorbent for Water Treatment.

In this study, a novel nanohybrid composite was fabricated via the incorporation of manganese ferrite (MnFeO) nanoparticles into the integrated surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and black cumin seeds (BC).

The equilibrium partition coefficient and adsorption capacity values for CR by ZnO-CdWO are estimated as 21.

Nigella sativa seed based nanohybrid composite-FeO-SnO/BC: A novel material for enhanced adsorptive removal of methylene blue from water.

In this work, an advance approach is reported for the water treatment technology using nanohybrid composite FeO-SnO/BC prepared by incorporation of iron-tin binary oxide into the cellulosic framework of medicinally active Nigella sativa (Black cumin) seed powder. The co-precipitation method was followed to prepare the nanohybrid composite which was subjected to investigate its physiochemical properties using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of highly functionalized nanocomposite through the hydrogen and electrostatic interactions between the functional groups of seeds and FeO-SnO.

Nigella sativa seed based nanocomposite-MnO/BC: An antibacterial material for photocatalytic degradation, and adsorptive removal of Methylene blue from water.

Antimicrobial Nigella sativa seed-based nanocomposite, MnO/BC, was synthesized and utilized for the water purification through adsorption, and the photocatalytic degradation. MnO/BC was prepared by co-precipitation method, and characterized using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, and DSC techniques. The composite was investigated for inhibition of bacterial cells growth.

Qualitative analysis of acid washed black cumin seeds for decolorization of water through removal of highly intense dye methylene blue.

Dyes in water change the colour, taste and odour of water, are highly visible, and can be toxic and cancerous for the coloured water consumption human beings. Basic dyes particularly, methylene blue, MB has high colour intensity, shows intense colour even at low concentration, and are very toxic due to their complex structure. Instead of adsorption, removal of MB from water using various traditional treatment methods is costly and less effective.
