Biosynthesis of Nanoparticles from Various Biological Sources and Its Biomedical Applications.

In the last few decades, the broad scope of nanomedicine has played an important role in the global healthcare industry. Biological acquisition methods to obtain nanoparticles (NPs) offer a low-cost, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly approach. This review shows recent data about several methods for procuring nanoparticles and an exhaustive elucidation of biological agents such as plants, algae, bacteria, fungi, actinomycete, and yeast.

Green Synthesis of Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles by Using Bark Extract and Their Photocatalytic, Antioxidant, Antibacterial, and Cytotoxicity Activities.

The current research is concerned with the synthesis of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) from L. bark extract via the green chemistry method. The synthesized MgO NPs was confirmed by using several characterization methods like XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and UV-visible analysis.

CTAB enabled microwave-hydrothermal assisted mesoporous Zn-doped hydroxyapatite nanorods synthesis using bio-waste Nodipecten nodosus scallop for biomedical implant applications.

In biomedical exploration, the predominant characteristic is synthesizing and fabricating multifunctional nanostructure with intensified biocompatibility and excellent antibacterial applications to avoid post-surgical implant failure. The objective of the current study is to examine ideal mesoporous zinc-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) for future use in the field of biomedical research. In the present investigation, we synthesized mesoporous Zn-doped HAp nanorods with varied mole concentrations using a profound microwave hydrothermal method utilizing bio-waste Nodipecten nodosus scallop as a calcium source and CTAB as an organic modifier.

Citric Acid-Mediated Microwave-Hydrothermal Synthesis of Mesoporous F-Doped HAp Nanorods from Bio-Waste for Biocidal Implant Applications.

In this current research, mesoporous nano-hydroxyapatite (HAp) and F-doped hydroxyapatite (FHAp) were effectively obtained through a citric acid-enabled microwave hydrothermal approach. Citric acid was used as a chelating and modifying agent for tuning the structure and porosity of the HAp structure. This is the first report to use citric acid as a modifier for producing mesoporous nano HAp and F-doped FHAp.

Green synthesis of stable antioxidant, anticancer and photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide nanorods from Leea asiatica leaf.

The present work reveals zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) obtained via green synthesis approach utilizing phytochemicals present in the Leea asiatica plant. The synthesized ZnO NRs was confirmed by various characterization methods like X-ray diffraction, FTIR, SEM-EDX, UV-vis, TEM and Raman spectra analysis. The obtained nanorods show less particle size with a distinctive high surface area.
