Evaluation of antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory action of selenium nanoparticles mediated through aspalathus linearis - An in vitro study.

Introduction: Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have drawn a lot of interest among researchers because of their distinct impact on antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory tests, antibacterial activity, and in the treatment of various diseases. A. linearis has shown great findings in biomedical applications because of its physio-chemical compounds such as Aspalathin, orientin, and isoorientin.

Degradation of Toxic Dye and Antimicrobial and Free Radical Potential of Environmental Benign Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles.

Several industries have become major contributors to waterbody contamination due to the improper removal of dyes and effluents into water bodies. Due to their carcinogenic properties and low biodegradability, dye degradation is a considerable danger to people, animals, and the oceanic environment. As part of this study, leaf extract was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize zinc nanoparticles and degrade dyes such as methyl red and eosin.

Evaluation of Zebrafish Toxicology and Biomedical Potential of Mediated Copper Sulfide Nanoparticles.

The present study deals with extracellular synthesis and characterization of copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles using , and the biological applications of the synthesized CuS like antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity were reported. Further, the toxicological effects of the CuS were evaluated using zebrafish as an animal model. The primary step of the synthesis was carried out by adding the precursor copper sulfates to the culture supernatant of .

Microbial degradation, spectral analysis and toxicological assessment of malachite green by Streptomyces chrestomyceticus S20.

Malachite green (MG), a triphenylmethane dye is extensively used for coloring silk, aquaculture and textile industries, it has also has been reported toxic to life forms. This study aimed to investigate the biodegradation potential of MG by actinobacteria. The potent actinobacterial strain S20 used in this study was isolated from forest soil (Sabarimala, Kerala, India) and identified as Streptomyces chrestomyceticus based on phenotype and molecular features.

Phyto-assisted synthesis, characterization and applications of gold nanoparticles - A review.

Nanotechnology is the formation, running and use of operation at the nanomaterial size scale (1-100 nm). Nanoscale materials can also be obtained by biological synthesis materials via eco-friendly green chemistry based technique. Current development and numerous strategies involved in the green synthesis of nanoparticles were focussed.
