Introduction And Objective: Medicinal plants like Moringa and Selaginella have gained attention for their potential in wound healing including antimicrobial and antioxidant attributes. Extracts from these plants have shown promise in accelerating wound healing processes, enhancing fibroblast cell proliferation and migration, and providing antioxidant benefits. The objective of this work was to assess the therapeutic potential of extracts loaded patches for biomedical applications.
Methods: Selaginella bryopteris L. and Moringa oleifera Lam. extracts were prepared using the cold maceration method. The prepared extracts were evaluated for antibacterial activity and antioxidant potential. Additionally, patches were prepared using Polyvinyl Alcohol and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose as polymers and evaluated for in vitro release and cell viability and biocompatibility characteristics.
Result: The extract of both plants showed good antioxidant potency against ascorbic acid. Antibacterial activity revealed that Selaginella and Moringa extracts and patches consistently outperformed P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis, and S. aureus at varying concentrations. Physiochemical evaluation of patches indicated good weight uniformity, thickness, and folding endurance, with slight moisture uptake. Drug release profiles showed significant results for all formulations. The results of cell viability for patches showed an increased cell proliferation and were nontoxic.
Conclusion: The study suggests that both extract and patch show excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The characterization results showed that the patches were uniform in their drug content, weight, and thickness, and they also indicated the reproducibility of the method used. In the in vitro release study of Selaginella bryopteris L. and Moringa oleifera Lam. patches were fitted to the Higuchi model and also patches were found harmless for the cells as well as increased proliferation of cells.

Introduction: Pine needles are a rich source of bioactive compounds, and there are few reports on the extraction and identification of active substances in various types of pine needles.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to enhance the efficiency and yield of pine needle essential oil extraction by employing an innovative ultrasonic-assisted salt-out hydrodistillation technology. It also aims to establish a correlation between gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose) to distinguish essential oils from Cedrus deodara, Pinus thunbergii, Pinus massoniana, and Pinus koraiensis.

A visible-light-mediated chlorotrifluoromethylation catalyzed by a copper-based photo-redox catalyst of internal alkenes is reported. The reaction proceeds with complete regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions using commercially available FCSOCl as both the trifluoromethyl and chlorine source, leading to the synthesis of added-value chemicals with atom-economy. A vast array of internal alkenes were functionalized in decent to good yields, highlighting a great tolerance to various functional groups.

Background And Objective: For treating community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults, early switching from injectable to oral antimicrobials (switch therapy) is accepted once the clinical course is favorable. Lascufloxacin (LSFX) is a quinolone antibacterial agent, available in intravenous and oral formulations, demonstrating antibacterial activity against a relatively broad spectrum of community-onset pneumonia (COP). No switch therapy using the same drug from injectable to oral antimicrobials has been reported; therefore, we conducted the study to confirm the efficacy and safety of the switch therapy using LSFX.

In the face of bacterial hazards to human health and resistance to multiple antibiotics, there is an urgent need to develop new antibiotics to meet the challenge. In this paper, the triazolyl heterocyclic (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, ) was synthesised efficiently using thiourea as starting material. Finally, the end product was obtained by aldehyde-amine condensation reaction and the structures of all compounds were determined by spectral analysis.
