Aim: The present study explored the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic effects of a combination of chitosan thiocolchicoside and lauric acid (CTLA) nanogel. Materials and methods: A nanogel formulation of thiocolchicoside and lauric acid was developed and tested for potential applications. The antimicrobial activity was assessed using the well diffusion method, while the antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay and hydrogen peroxide (HO) antioxidant assay methods. The anti-inflammatory activity was determined through the egg albumin denaturation method, the bovine serum albumin denaturation method, and the membrane stabilization assay. A brine shrimp lethality assay was used to study the cytotoxic effect of the nanogel.
Results: We identified significant positive outcomes for the CTLA nanogel. The results showed a percentage of inhibition of 81% at 50μg/mL, which showed the nanogel's significant anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting bovine serum albumin denaturation. The anti-inflammatory properties of the nanogel were comparable to the standard diclofenac sodium at all tested concentrations. The egg albumin denaturation assay results revealed a percentage inhibition of 76% at 50 μg/mL. In the membrane stabilization assay, a percentage inhibition of 86% was obtained at a concentration of 50 μg/mL against 89% for the standard drug. The nanogel exhibited a zone of inhibition of 20 mm against and 22 mm with a dilution of 100 µg/mL of CTLA nanogel against . The antioxidant activity was studied by using the DPPH method, 50 μg/ml has an 89% inhibition, which was similar to the standard. The inhibitory activity of CTLA nanogel at 50 μg/ml was 81.6% in the hydroxyl free radical scavenging assay, which was comparable to the standard drug. At 5 μg/mL concentration of CTLA nanogel, approximately 90% of the nauplii remained alive after 48 hours.
Conclusion: The CTLA nanogel showed excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties suggesting its potential for managing inflammatory conditions and oxidative stress-related disorders.

Chronic wound infections are caused by biofilm forming opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. The persistence of infection, co-infecting pathogens and prolonged use of antibiotics promote antibiotic resistance hampering healing process due to increased inflammation. Hence, we tested the broad range antibacterial activity of linalool, a bioactive monoterpene commonly present in many essential oils having anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities to target different opportunistic pathogens commonly found in the chronic wound.

Background: Universally, Allium ascalonicum (Shallots) is a well-known flavouring agent in many cuisines. Though, it's been proved for its health benefits due to the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols and coumarins, its role as an anti-neoplastic agent still requires comprehensive investigation. In our study, we have investigated the presence of potential anti-neoplastic phytocompounds, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxicity and anti-metastatic activity of Shallots against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231.

Background/objectives: Propolis (bee glue) is a valuable bee product widely used as a natural remedy, a cosmetic ingredient, a nutritional value enhancer and a food biopreservative. The present research aims to investigate the phenolic content, antioxidant activity and in vitro anti-inflammatory and antitumor potential of six propolis samples from three regions of Bulgaria (Vidin, Gabrovo and Lovech).
Methods: the analysis of propolis phenolic compounds was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); the antioxidant activity of ethanolic propolis extracts was assessed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay; the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by the inhibition of albumin denaturation method; the in vitro antitumor activity was determined in human metastatic breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 using 3-(4,5-Dimethyl -2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Hydrogel network structures play a crucial role in determining mechanical properties and have broad applications in biomedical and industrial fields. Therefore, their rational design is essential. Herein, we developed a Schiff base-crosslinked hydrogel through the reaction of Tetra-armed polyethylene glycol with aldehyde end groups (Tetra-PEG-CHO) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under alkaline conditions.
