Abstract
In this study salicylic acid loaded containing selenium nanoparticles was synthesized and called SA@CS-Se NPs. the chitosan was used as a natural stabilizer during the synthesis process. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to describe the physicochemical characteristics of the SA@CS-Se NPs. The PXRD examination revealed that the grain size was around 31.9 nm. TEM and FESEM techniques showed the spherical shape of SA@CS-Se NPs. Additionally, the analysis of experiments showed that SA@CS-Se NPs have antibacterial properties against 4 ATCC bacteria; So that with concentrations of 75, 125, 150, and 100 µg/ml, it inhibited the biofilm formation of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus respectively. Also, at the concentration of 300 µg/ml, it removed 22.76, 23.2, 10.62, and 18.08% biofilm caused by E. coli, P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis, and S. aureus respectively. The synthesized SA@CS-Se NPs may find an application to reduce the unsafe influence of pathogenic microbes and, hence, eliminate microbial contamination.

Abstract
Recently, the green synthesis of nanomaterials has grown in popularity and has become one of the most used approaches. Plant extracts are safe for the environment and could be cost-effective for nanoparticle preparation. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized using aqueous extracts of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) seeds. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by using an X-ray diffractometer, a UV-visible spectrometer, and a transmission electron microscope. The phytotoxicity and genotoxicity of different AgNP concentrations (12.5, 25, 50, 75, and 100 μg·L−1) were evaluated by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seed germination. The results showed that AgNPs did not significantly affect germination, while root and coleoptile lengths decreased considerably. On the contrary, the biomass of seedlings markedly increased in response to AgNP treatments. Moreover, genotoxicity was detected, especially at high concentrations of AgNPs. DNA, RNA, and total soluble proteins of wheat seedlings significantly decreased. In addition, antimicrobial activities of biosynthesized AgNPs were detected.

Abstract
We report a novel approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized on polymer-wrapped carbon nanotubes (Ag@polymer/CNTs) for the non-enzymatic glucose sensing and antibacterial activity applications. Poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSM) was functionalized with amino furan to obtain furan-modified poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSMF), which was later grafted onto the surface of CNTs by Diels-Alder "click" reaction to afford a polymer/CNTs hybrid material. The photo-deposition technique was applied to immobilized small-sized (∼10 nm) AgNPs on the surface of the polymer/CNTs hybrid material using visible light irradiation. The resulting material, Ag@polymer/CNTs, showed promising electrocatalytic activity for the non-enzymatic glucose sensing and antibacterial activity in vitro assays toward Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus bacteria strains. Covalent-bonded polymer layer-bearing carboxylic pendent groups to the CNTs might be playing a pivot role in not only stabilizing AgNPs but also facile electron-transfer reaction, thus demonstrating better activity.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to examine the different concentrations of AuNPs as a new antimicrobial substance to control the pathogenic activity. The extracellular synthesis of AuNPs performed by using Phoma sp. as an endophytic fungus. Endophytic fungus was isolated from vascular tissue of peach trees (Prunus persica) from Baft, located in Kerman province, Iran. The UltraViolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis spectroscopy) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy provided the absorbance peak at 526 nm, while the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy images released the formation of spherical AuNPs with sizes in the range of 10-100 nm. The findings of inhibition zone test of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) showed a desirable antifungal and antibacterial activity against phytopathogens including Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA (AG1-IA has been identified as the dominant anastomosis group) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. The highest inhibition level against sclerotia formation was 93% for AuNPs at a concentration of 80 μg/mL. Application of endophytic fungus biomass for synthesis of AuNPs is relatively inexpensive, single step and environmentally friendly. In vitro study of the antifungal activity of AuNPs at concentrations of 10, 20, 40 and 80 μg/mL was conducted against rice fungal pathogen R. solani to reduce sclerotia formation. The experimental data revealed that the Inhibition rate (RH) for sclerotia formation was (15, 33, 74 and 93%), respectively, for their corresponding AuNPs concentrations (10, 20, 40 and 80 μg/mL). Our findings obviously indicated that the RH strongly depend on AuNPs rates, and enhance upon an increase in AuNPs rates. The application of endophytic fungi biomass for green synthesis is our future goal.

Abstract
Recent advances in nano-enabled agriculture raised hope in the efficient delivery of bioactive minerals to crops. Nanocomposites (NCPs) are promising technologies in soil fertilizing without compromising environmental contamination. NCPs have shown positive impacts on plant growth and nanofortification of crop yield. Here, we have synthesized a nanocomposite that could induce the positive impacts of the Mn, Fe, and Ce nanoparticles for the crops. The NCPs were extensively characterized and applied at three levels 100, 250, and 500 ppm on T. aestivum L. seeds for 10 days. The germination, biomass, and elongation have been measured as the main physiological parameters of the plant. The total content of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant in response to NCPs was quantified. The concentration of essential minerals (iron and manganese) and the non-essential element of cerium in roots and shoots were quantified using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Briefly, the germination rate increased by 15%; total chlorophyll and carotenoid were augmented by 61% and 38%, respectively, in exposure to 100 ppm. Higher uptake of micronutrient Fe and Mn in shoots and led to higher yield production by 14% and 18%, respectively. A positive correlation between the increasing dose of NCPs and the total content of the superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase (POD) were quantified. Overall, the results indicate the high potential of NCPs applications in agricultural practice.

Abstract
In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using both the chemical and biological methods and conjugated with Pyrenacantha grandiflora extracts. These were then characterized and evaluated for antimicrobial activities against multi-drug resistant pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella pneumonia, and Escherichia coli. Nanoparticles were analyzed with UV-visible spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Silver nanoparticles, P. grandiflora extracts, and the conjugates were also analyzed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). As a result, quasi-sphere-shaped AgNPs with sizes ranging from 5 to 33 nm and spherically shaped AgNPs with sizes ranging from 3 to 25 nm were formed from chemical and biological synthesis, respectively. A well diffusion assay showed that the activity of silver nanoparticles was most improved with acetone extract against all tested bacteria with diameters in the range of 19-24 mm. The lowest MIC value of 0.0063 mg/mL against MRSA was observed when biologically synthesized AgNPs were conjugated with acetone and water extracts. Chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles showed the lowest MIC value of 0.0063 mg/mL against E. coli when conjugated with acetone and methanol extracts. This study indicates that silver nanoparticles conjugated with P. gandiflora tubers extracts exhibit strong antibacterial activities against multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens. Therefore, biosynthesized conjugates could be utilized as antimicrobial agents for effective disease management due to the synergistic antibacterial activity that was observed.

Abstract
In this study, the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Aspergillus niger (A/ZnO-NPs) is described. These particles have been characterized by UV-Vis spectrum analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. To use this biosynthesized nanoparticle as an antiproliferative and antimicrobial agent, the IC50 value against the breast cancer cell line and inhibition zone against Escherichia coli were used to optimize the effect of two processing factors including dose of filtrate fungi cell and temperature. The biosynthesized A/ZnO-NPs had an absorbance band at 320 nm and spherical shapes. The mean particles size was 35 nm. RSM (response surface methodology) was utilized to investigate the outcome responses. The Model F-value of 12.21 and 7.29 implies that the model was significant for both responses. The contour plot against inhibition zone for temperature and dose showed that if the dose increases from 3.8 to 17.2 µg/mL, the inhibition zone increases up to 35 mm. As an alternative to chemical and/or physical methods, biosynthesizing zinc oxide NPs through fungi extracts can serve as a more facile and eco-friendly strategy. Additionally, for optimization of the processes, the outcome responses in the biomedical available test can be used in the synthesis of ZnO-NPs that are utilized for large-scale production in various medical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerium (IV) oxide (CeO2) exhibit anti-inflammatory activity via scavenge free radicals and decreasing the oxygen species (ROS) production. Here we aimed to exhibit the therapeutic effect of this nanoparticle in experimental colitis models. METHODS Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) were synthesized via using UiO-66 as a precursor. We used dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colitis in experimental models to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of CeONPs. Colitis models are divided into four groups to receive the treatment, including control, colitis, cerium oxide, and sulfasalazine. We evaluated the therapeutic effects of CeONPs for the increased colitis clinical symptoms and attenuated the histological damage to colon tissue in colitis. RESULT This nanoparticle was significantly able to reduce the clinical symptoms of colitis. Moreover, CeONPs can enhance the disease activity index such as body lose weight, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, colon length, and spleen weight. Moreover, CeONPs showed a significant reduction in the histological characteristics of the colitis models. CONCLUSION These results suggest that CeONPs can be considered as promising therapeutic agents in treating the ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main concerns, nowadays causing a high rate of mortality in the world. The majority of conventional treatment protects the heart from failure progression. As a novel therapeutic way, Regenerative medicine in the heart includes cellular and noncellular approaches. Despite the irrefutable privileges of noncellular aspects such as administration of exosomes, utilizing of miRNAs, and growth factors, they cannot reverse necrotic or ischemic myocardium, hence recruiting of stem cells to help regenerative therapy in the heart seems indispensable. Stem cell lineages are varied and divided into two main groups namely pluripotent and adult stem cells. Not only has each of which own regenerative capacity, benefits, and drawbacks, but their turnover also close correlates with the target organ and/or tissue as well as the stage and level of failure. In addition to inefficient tissue integration due to the defects in delivering methods and poor retention of transplanted cells, the complexity of the heart and its movement also make more rigorous the repair process. Hence, utilizing biomaterials can make a key route to tackle such obstacles. In this review, we evaluate some natural products which can help stem cells in regenerative medicine of the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Background: Plants comprise great antioxidant sources as a result of their redox and biochemical components, which are rich in secondary metabolites such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and other constituents. Haplophyllum obtusifolium from polygonaceae is widely used for preventing and managing diabetes. This study investigated the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) biosynthesized by H. obtusifolium. Methods: The aerial parts of H. obtusifolium were gathered from the north of Khorasan Razavi province, Iran and desiccated at the chamber temperature. The shoots were powdered by grinding, 5 g of the powder was mixed with 250 mL of deionized water, and the resultant blend was then filtered. Bactericidal properties and antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles were assessed using disk diffusion and DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) tests, respectively. Results: The results of this study showed that the biosynthesized nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity against a gram-negative (Klebsiella pneumoniae) bacterium, but they had no effects on gram-positive Staphylococcus epidermidis. Antioxidant test results showed that these nanoparticles were capable of eliminating DPPH radicals in a concentration-dependent manner so that a more potent antioxidant activity was seen in higher concentrations of the nanoparticles. Conclusion: Our results suggested that H. obtusifolium can be used as a key source of antioxidants/ antimicrobial agents in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The use of plant extracts is a low-cost and green way to synthesize nanoparticles. In this research, the authors investigated the antibacterial, cytotoxic and antiangiogenic properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using Amaranthus cruentus extract. The fabricated nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and X-ray diffraction. The TEM results showed that the typical size of the AgNPs recorded was 15 nm. Biological tests indicated that the biosynthesized AgNPs had caused a decrease in cancerous cells (MCF-7) and had a high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. According to data analysis, the number and length of the blood vessels in different concentrations of AgNPs reduced significantly (depending on the dose). The chorioallantoic membrane assay revealed a large decrease in the number and length of angiogenic blood vessels in the presence of AgNPs. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry studies showed a dramatic increase in the gene expression of caspase-3 and caspase-8.

Abstract
Some antibiotics have lost their efficacy over common infections and this has led to the search for new antibiotics and chemically altering existing ones for a better control of infectious diseases. In the present study, Pyrenacantha grandiflora tubers extracts were conjugated with ampicillin, penicillin, vancomycin and silver nanoparticles and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella Pneumoniae. The reactions were confirmed by formation of new functional groups that were identified by Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined using the microdilution assay. Minimum bactericidal concentrations and the fractional inhibition concentration index were also determined. FTIR analysis indicated different functional group associated with conjugation. The activity of ampicillin was improved when conjugated with silver nanoparticles against K. pneumonia and E. coli. Vancomycin showed improvement of activity when conjugated to silver nanoparticles against K. pneumonia. Penicillin was improved by acetone extracts and vancomycin showed to be more effective when conjugated with silver nanoparticles and water extracts. The conjugation of P. grandiflora with penicillin, ampicillin and vancomycin in the presence of silver nanoparticles improved their biological activities. Therefore, the conjugates are medicinally important and can be used to improve the activity of existing antibiotics.

Abstract
Introduction: Free radicals have singlet electron in their outer layer rendering them high reactivity against biomolecules (i.e., DNA, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids). Oxidative stress is created when the production of free radicals exceeds their removal by antioxidant systems and is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, inflammatory conditions, and various cancers. Regarding the therapeutic potential of nanoparticles (NPs) in human diseases, the purpose of this study was to synthesize cerium oxide NPs using Origanum majorana leaf extract. Methods: Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 -NPs) were synthesized using aqueous leaf extract of O. majorana. The sizes of NPs were characterized by a particle size analyzer. The antioxidant properties of the CeO2 -NPs were determined by Ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. The anti-inflammatory effects of the NPs were also determined by measuring gene expressions of IL-1β and IL-10 using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: The CeO2 -NPs were successfully synthesized using O. majorana leaf extract. The results of FRAP assay showed that the anti-oxidant activities of CeO2 -NPs at concentrations of 50, 100, and 400 μg/mL were 75%, 77.1%, and 94.5%, respectively. Moreover, interleukin 10 (IL-10) gene expressions increased by 4.6 folds while the expression of IL-1β gene decreased by 0.75-fold in HUVECs. Conclusion: The CeO2 -NPs synthesized using the aqueous extract of O. majorana demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, these NPs can be used as potential therapeutic agents in medicine.

Abstract
Background: Drug resistance due to genetic variations renders many therapeutic methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy unsuccessful in eradicating cancerous cells. Nowadays, application of nanoparticles (NPs) has been promising in destroying cancerous cells without side effects on normal cells. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant and anticancer effects of biosynthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 -NPs) on a hepatic carcinoma cell line. Methods: MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of CeO2 -NPs in concentrations of 0, 15.6, 31.2, 62.5, 125, and 250 μg/mL after 24, 48, and 72 hours of incubation. Moreover, the expression levels of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) (the antioxidant genes) were investigated at different concentrations of CeO2 -NPs using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Our results showed a significant toxicity of the synthesized NPs against the cancerous liver cells. The IC50 calculated for CeO2 -NPs was 500 μg/mL at 24 hours of incubation. In addition, the expression levels of CAT and SOD significantly (P<0.05) increased upon the treatment of cells with CeO2 -NPs (500 µg /mL) compared to the untreated cells. Conclusion: Considering the minimal effects of the biosynthesized CeO2 -NPs on normal cells and on the other hand their considerable toxicity against hepatic cancer cells, these NPs could be utilized in medicine and in the development of new drugs for cancer cells.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been biosynthesised through the extracts of Ribes khorassanicum fruits, which served as the reducing agents and capping agents. Biosynthesised AgNPs have been found to be ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra since they have displayed one surface plasmon resonance peak at 438 nm, attesting the formation of spherical NPs. These particles have been characterised by UV-vis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The formation of AgNPs at 1.0 mM concentration of AgNO3 has resulted in NPs that contained mean diameters in a range of 20-40 nm. The green-synthesised AgNPs have demonstrated high antibacterial effect against pathogenic bacteria (i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Biosynthesising metal NPs through plant extracts can serve as the facile and eco-friendly alternative for chemical and/or physical methods that are utilised for large-scale nanometal fabrication in various medical and industrial applications.

Abstract
Introduction: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have grabbed special attention owing to their exclusive structural features. Green synthesis (i.e., plant-mediated) of AgNPs is an efficient and cost-effective method with widespread clinical applications. Therefore, the present study aimed to synthesize AgNPs based on green synthesis method employing the seed extracts of Amaranthus cruentus and to investigate the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the biosynthesized AgNPs. Methods: The Ag-NPs were biologically synthesized using the A. cruentus extract which served as a reducing agent. Then, the synthesized Ag-NPs were visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Next, the antioxidant activity of the synthesized Ag-NPs was evaluated by DPPH and ABTS methods. Finally, the cytotoxicity of AgNPs was investigated against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line using MTT assay. Results: The mean diameter of the synthesized Ag-NPs ranged from 20 to 40 nm. In addition, the IC50 of free radical scavenging activity of the Ag-NPs were obtained as 500 µg/mL (DPPH) and 400 µg/mL (ABTS). Further, the AgNPs showed time and dose-dependent cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells. Eventually, at the 24-hour exposition to the 80 µg/mL dose of AgNPs, the viability of cancerous cells was 19% plunging to 2.03% and 1.9% after 48 hours and 72 hours, respectively. Conclusion: In general, plant extracts can serve as facile and eco-friendly alternatives to hazardous methods for synthesizing the metal nanoparticles. Therefore, the A. cruentus biosynthesized AgNPs can be utilized in medicine for various purposes due to their low toxicity and appropriate antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Among an array of hybrid nanoparticles, core-shell nanoparticles comprise of two or more materials, such as metals and biomolecules, wherein one of them forms the core at the center, while the other material/materials that were located around the central core develops a shell. Core-shell nanostructures are useful entities with high thermal and chemical stability, lower toxicity, greater solubility, and higher permeability to specific target cells. Plant or natural products-mediated synthesis of nanostructures refers to the use of plants or its extracts for the synthesis of nanostructures, an emerging field of sustainable nanotechnology. Various physiochemical and greener methods have been advanced for the synthesis of nanostructures, in contrast to conventional approaches that require the use of synthetic compounds for the assembly of nanostructures. Although several biological resources have been exploited for the synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles, but plant-based materials appear to be the ideal candidates for large-scale green synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles. This review summarizes the known strategies for the greener production of core-shell nanoparticles using plants extract or their derivatives and highlights their salient attributes, such as low costs, the lack of dependence on the use of any toxic materials, and the environmental friendliness for the sustainable assembly of stabile nanostructures.
