The modern nanomedicine incorporates the multimodal treatments into a single formulation, offering innovative cancer therapy options. Nanosheets function as carriers, altering the solubility, biodistribution, and effectiveness of medicinal compounds, resulting in more efficient cancer treatments and reduced side effects. The non-toxic nature of fluorinated graphene oxide (FGO) nanosheets and their potential applications in medication delivery, medical diagnostics, and biomedicine distinguish them from others.

Salmonella enterica is one of the foodborne pathogens that can infect humans, spreading from one person to another by contaminated food and water. To identify the pathogenic S. enterica from the contaminated food product, culture-based and molecular identifications, drug resistance profiling, virulence and genetic traits of the strains have been used.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on synthesizing iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) using leaf extract, which showed UV-visible absorption peaks at 229 nm and confirmed crystalline structure through X-ray diffraction (XRD).
  • The synthesized FeNPs were irregularly shaped with a size of around 185.6 nm and demonstrated effective methylene blue decolorization, achieving 98% discoloration within 10 seconds at a 10 mg/L concentration, while also exhibiting antibacterial and antifungal properties.
  • Additionally, the biosynthesized FeNPs showed potential as a fertilizer for green gram seeds, highlighting their cost-effectiveness and reduced toxicity for various biological applications.

Biomass-derived carbon quantum dots have drawn special interest owing to their admirable photostability, biocompatibility, fluorescence, high solubility, sensitivity and environmentally friendly properties. In the present work, the Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) was synthesized from the Plectranthus amboinicus (Mexican Mint) leaves via the microwave-assisted reflux method. The strong absorption peaks observed from UV-vis spectra at 291 and 330 nm corresponds to the π-π* and n-π* transitions, respectively, reveal the formation of CQDs.

The present investigation reports a simple, rapid, inexpensive, and eco-friendly approach for synthesizing Amphiroa rigida-mediated silver nanoparticles (AR-AgNPs) for the first time. The biomimetic synthesized AR-AgNPs were characterized by both spectral and microscopic analysis. The UV-visible spectrum showed the surface plasmon peak at 420 nm, which indicated the formation of AR-AgNPs.

The present work focuses on a low-cost, simple, and green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by mixing AgNO solution with the extract of Spirulina platensis (SP) without any chemical reducing and/or capping agents. The green synthesis of AgNPs was confirmed by the color change from colorless to yellowish brown. The biosynthesis of AgNPs was further confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), biological transmission electron microscopy (Bio-TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).

(Umbelliferae) has been used for centuries in Indian ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of a wide number of health disorders. The aim of this study was to estimate and compare the concentration of bioactive compounds between wild and propagated plants. A marked decrease in the total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid was observed between propagated and wild type plants collected from wet land habitat.

A rapid, green phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of Helianthus tuberosus (sunroot tuber) was reported in this study. The morphology of the AgNPs was determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of AgNPs.

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with biological properties is of vast significance in the development of scientifically valuable products. In the present study, we describe simple, unprecedented, nontoxic, eco-friendly, green synthesis of AgNPs using an Indian traditional farming formulating agent, panchakavya. Silver nitrate (1 mM) solution was mixed with panchakavya filtrate for the synthesis of AgNPs.
