Background: The antioxidant and anticancer potential of natural compounds, particularly from medicinal plants, is increasingly being explored as alternatives to synthetic antioxidants and chemotherapeutics. Boascia coriacea (Pax) has been traditionally used for treating various ailments, including oxidative stress-related diseases and prostate cancer. However, there is a paucity of empirical evidence to validate the ethnomedicinal claims, hence this study.

This work demonstrates the first time synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) stabilized with neonol. The synthesis method was optimized using a multifactorial experiment with three input parameters. The most stable sample had a radius of 15 nm and a ζ-potential of -36.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory joint disorder affecting nearly 1% of the global population. In RA, synovial joints are infiltrated by inflammatory mediators and enzymes, leading to articular cartilage deterioration, joint damage, and bone erosion. Herein, the 9-aminoacridine-6--stearoyl-L-ascorbic acid hydrogel (9AA-SAA hydrogel) was formulated by the heat-cool method and further characterized for surface charge, surface morphology, rheology, and cytocompatibility.

Nanobactericides are employed as a promising class of nanomaterials for eradicating microbial infections, considering the rapid resistance risks of conventional antibiotics. Herein, we present a pioneering approach, reporting the synthesis of two-dimensional titanium disulfide nanosheets coated by nitrogen/sulfur-codoped carbon nanosheets (2D-TiS@NSC hybrid NSs) using a rapid l-ascorbic acid-assisted sulfurization of TiCT-MXene to achieve efficient alternative bactericides. The as-developed materials were systematically characterized using a suite of different spectroscopy and microscopy techniques, in which the X-ray diffraction/Raman spectroscopy/X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data confirm the existence of TiS and C, while the morphological investigation reveals single- to few-layered TiS NSs confined by N,S-doped C, suggesting the successful synthesis of the ultrathin hybrid NSs.
