Inhibition of Oral Biofilms and Enhancement of Anticancer Activity on Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cells Using Caffeine-Coated Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles.

The fungus Candida albicans is a prominent cariogenic fungal agent that works in association with Streptococcus mutans to accelerate the formation of oral cancer and tooth decay. This study evaluates caffeine-encapsulated titanium oxide nanoparticles (CF-TiO2 NPs) for their potential to prevent biofilm formation on teeth and enhance oral anticancer treatment by influencing apoptotic gene regulation. The synthesized CF-TiO2 NPs were characterized using UV, SEM, EDAX, and FTIR analyses, and their antioxidant activity was confirmed through free radical quenching studies.

Optimization of Achillea millefolium-Infused Chitosan Nanocarriers for Antibacterial and Dye Degradation Applications.

The demand for plant-based nanocarriers and nanodrugs is increasing due to their versatile nature and compatibility. This research focuses on the optimization of Achillea millefolium-infused chitosan nanocarriers for antibacterial and dye degradation applications, emphasizing the novelty of this approach. Different dilutions of Achillea millefolium (A.

A Dual Approach by Nanostructured α-Mangostin-Copper Oxide Complexes Against Dental Pathogen Biofilms and Oral Cancer via Apoptosis Gene Modulation.

The development of effective treatments for dental pathogens and oral cancer remains a significant challenge. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are recognized for their strong antimicrobial properties, attributed to the synthesis of oxygen-dependent radicals. α-Mangostin (MG), a natural xanthone from mangosteen fruit, is well-known for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer potential.
