Background: Magnesium is recognized to have pharmacological potential, and its nanoformulation is anticipated to offer significant therapeutic effects, particularly against cancer. In this study, we analyzed the anticancer effect of biogenically synthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) against breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231).
Methods: Different biological evaluations, such as cytotoxicity, cellular morphology, induction of apoptosis, generation of ROS, cell adhesion and cellular migration were estimated using well established methodology.
Results: The biogenic MgO NPs exhibited increased cytotoxicity, induced apoptosis, enhanced formation of ROS, promoted cell adhesion and inhibited cellular migration in a dose-dependent manner, showing its therapeutic potential against MDA-MB-231 cells.
Conclusion: The current study observed strong anticancer activity of MgO NPs against studied cancer cell lines. However, our study must be validated in an appropriate animal/xenograft model to authenticate the effectiveness of MgO NPs against breast cancer.

A novel method for synthesizing nanomaterials involves microbial or phytochemical nano-factories, which offer an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and reliable approach to producing clean and reproducible products. In this study, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) were synthesized using Avicennia marina, a marine plant, as both a nucleation and stabilizing agent. The MgO NPs were characterized for crystallinity, cut-off wavelength, morphology, thermal stability, and surface properties using XRD, EDX, BET, UV-Visible spectroscopy, DLS, zeta potential analysis, SEM, TEM, TGA/DTA, and PL spectroscopy.

Chemical control of head blight (FHB) in wheat plants is often challenged by the resistance outbreak and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation. Developing green partners for fungicides is crucial for reducing fungal growth, mycotoxin contamination, and agricultural fungicides input. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of MgO nanoparticles (NPs) in controlling FHB.

(neem) extract was used to biologically synthesize magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs). The synthesized NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities were analyzed for the synthesized MgO NPs and neem extract.

Article Synopsis
- * Both spinach varieties experienced similar negative effects from Cd exposure, which included reduced growth and physiological functions, while biochemical markers like malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide levels increased.
- * Foliar treatments enhanced growth and gas exchange metrics and mitigated the negative biochemical effects of Cd; Desi Palak responded best to MgO-NPs, whereas Lahori Palak thrived under the combined SNP and MgO-NP treatment, suggesting potential remedies for heavy metal stress
