Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat caused by the misuse of antibiotics, highlighting the need for innovative and sustainable solutions.* -
- Bio-nanomaterials, made from eco-friendly precursors like biowaste and plant extracts, offer a sustainable way to combat AMR by targeting pathogens and enhancing the effectiveness of existing antibiotics.* -
- This review discusses the potential uses of bio-nanomaterials in various health applications, their advantages in antimicrobial therapy, and the regulatory challenges they face, promoting a more sustainable approach to healthcare.*
Propolis is a beehive product produced from honeybees by mixing β-glycosidase enzyme and beeswax with exudate collected from plant resins. The main goal of this study was to investigate the phytochemical potential and GC-MS profiling of the main constituents of propolis. The antioxidant activity was assessed by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were analysed by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method and aluminium chloride method respectively.

However, noticeable toxicity, off-targeted actions, lacking biocompatibility, and being expensive limit their acceptability. Moreover, involving high energy (top-down routes) and hazardous chemicals (bottom-up chemical routes) is altering human cycle.
