Abstract
Pedalium Murex leaf extract was used in this study to create Nickel-doped Cerium oxide (Ni-CeO2) nanoparticles at 3 mol% and 5 mol% molar concentrations. The biosynthesized process was applied for the fabrication of Ni-CeO2 NPs. The X-ray diffraction method was used to identify their crystal structure. The XRD measurements showed that the Ni-CeO2 NPs crystallized into the face-centred cubic system. Fourier transform infrared spectral study was applied to explore the molecular vibrations and chemical bonding. The surface texture and chemical ingredients of Ni-CeO2 NPs were studied using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The EDX mapping spectra illustrate the uniform dispersal of Ce, Ni, and O atoms over the sample's surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was conducted to confirm the chemical state of the Ni-CeO2 NPs. UV-Vis spectrum study was performed to ascertain the photon absorption, bandgap, and Urbach edge of Ni-CeO2 NPs. Photoluminescence (PL) research has been used to study the light-emitting characteristic of Ni-CeO2 NPs. The emissive intensity transition corresponding to Ni-CeO2 NPs was found to increase with the dopant level. The CIE 1931 chromaticity map was plotted to find the aptness of the samples for optical uses. The antifungal ability of Ni-CeO2 NPs was evaluated against the fungi candida albicans and candida krusein with the agar well-diffusion process. The fungicidal activity of the 3 mol% Ni doped CeO2 nanoparticles has shown a maximum zone of inhibition. The experimental findings illustrate the utility of Ni-CeO2 NPs for optical and antifungal applications.

Abstract
Marine algae-based drug discovery has recently received a lot of attention. This study was conducted to extract laminarin-enriched solvent extracts from Padina tetrastromatica and Sargassum cinereum and to evaluate their anticancer activity against the HeLa cell line in vitro (MTT assay). Furthermore, their toxicity was determined through a zebra fish model study. P. tetrastromatica and S. cinereum biomasses have a higher concentration of essential biomolecules such as carbohydrates, protein, and crude fiber, as well as essential minerals (Na, Mg, K, Ca, and Fe) and secondary metabolites. Methanol extracts, in particular, contain a higher concentration of vital phytochemicals than other solvent extracts. The laminarin quantification assay states that methanol extracts of P. tetrastromatica and S. cinereum are rich in laminarin, which is primarily confirmed by FTIR analysis. In an anticancer study, laminarin-MeE from P. tetrastromatica and S. cinereum at concentrations of 750 and 1000 μg mL-1 demonstrated 100% activity against HeLa cells. The Zebra fish model-based toxicity study revealed that the laminarin-enriched MeE of P. tetrastromatica and S. cinereum is non-toxic. These findings revealed that the laminarin-enriched MeE of P. tetrastromatica and S. cinereum has significant anticancer activity without causing toxicity.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and biocompatibility nature of Tamarindus indica L. fruit coat aqueous extract were investigated in this research through in-vitro and in-vivo studies. The anti-inflammatory property was determined through albumin denaturation inhibition and antiprotease activities as up to 39.5% and 41.2% respectively at 30 mg mL-1 concentration. Furthermore, the antidiabetic activity was determined through α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition as up to 62.15% and 67.35% respectively at 30 mg mL-1 dosage. The albino mice based acute toxicity study was performed by different treatment groups (group I-V) with different dosages of aqueous extract to detect the biocompatibility of sample. Surprisingly, findings revealed that the T. indica L. fruit coat aqueous extract had no harmful impacts on any of the groups. Urine, as well as serum parameter analysis, confirmed this. Moreover, the findings of SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), GST (Glutathione-S-transferase), & CAT (Catalase) as well as glutathione peroxidase as well as reduced glutathione antioxidant enzymes studies stated that the aqueous extract possess high antioxidant ability via a dose-dependent way. These findings indicate that T. indica fruit coat aqueous extract contains medicinally important phytochemicals with anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties, as well as being biocompatible in nature.

Assessment of antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties of acetone extract of Aerva lanata (L.) by in-vitro approach and bioactive compounds characterization. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 248:118348. [PMID: 38295976 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
The antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities efficiency of Aerva lanata plant extracts (aqueous (Aqu-E), acetone (Ace-E), and ethanol (Eth-E)) were investigated in this study. Furthermore, the active molecules exist in the crude extract were characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. The preliminary phytochemical study revealed that the Ace-E restrain more phytochemicals like alkaloids, saponins, anthraquinone, tannins, phenolics, flavonoids, glycosides, terpenoids, amino acid, steroids, protein, coumarin, as well as quinine than Aqu-E and Eth-E. Accordingly to this Ace-E showed considerable antimicrobial activity as the follows: for bacteria S. aureus > E. coli > K. pneumoniae > P. aeruginosa > B. subtilis and for fungi T. viride > A.flavus > C. albicans > A.niger at 30 mg ml concentration. Similarly, Ace-E showed considerable antidiabetic (α-amylase: 71.7 % and α-glucosidase: 70.1 %) and moderate anti-inflammatory (59 % and 49.8 %) activities. The spectral and chromatogram studies confirmed that the Ace-E have pharmaceutically valuable bioactive molecules such as (Nbutyl)-octadecane, propynoic acid, neophytadiene, and 5,14-di (N-butyl)-octadecane. These findings suggest that Ace-E from A. lanata can be used to purify additional bioactive substances and conduct individual compound-based biomedical application research.

Abstract
The medical plant research has received more attention among researchers especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. This research performed to evaluate the antifungal, anti-lung cancer (A549), and anti-hyperglycemic activities of aqueous extract of Andrographis paniculata flower. Interestingly, A. paniculata flower aqueous extract contains pharmaceutically valuable phytochemicals such as alkaloid, phenolics, terpenoids, tannins, flavonoids, and protein. It also showed fine antifungal activity against test fungal pathogens in the following order as: Aspergillus niger > Fusarium solani > Trichoderma harzianum > A. parasiticus > P. expansum > Penicillium janthinellum with lowest MIC values as ranged from 100 to 300 μg mL-1. Interestingly, this aqueous extract also showed considerable anti-lung cancer activity, evidenced by dose and time dependent lung cancer cell line (A549) growth/proliferation inhibition/cytotoxicity activity (65%) at 300 μg mL-1 concentration. This can be achieved by plant extract through inducing the secretion of apoptosis related proteins such as TNF α, IFN-γ, and ınterleukin 2 leads to apoptosis in A549 cells. It also showed fine anti-diabetic activity by inhibiting α -amylase (58.41%) than α-glucosidase (54.74%) at 200 μg mL-1 concentration. The UV as well as FTIR results demonstrated that the aqueous extract of A. paniculata flower contains pharmaceutically valuable bioactive compounds, which may be responsible for the wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
This research was performed to evaluate the possibilities of reducing the physicochemical properties of polluted pond water situated around the magnesite mine tailing through indigenous metal tolerant fungi. The physicochemical analysis results revealed that most of the physicochemical properties of pond water sample were crossing the permissible limits. From the muddy pond soil sample, Aspergillus flavus DDN was identified (through molecular characterization) as predominant metal tolerant fungal strain and it showed resistance to Cr(VI), Pb(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Mg(IV) up to 1000 μg mL-1 concentrations. This strain also effectively reduced (through biosorption) these metals in a short duration of the bioremediation process. In a lab-scale bioremediation study, the A. flavus DDN significantly reduced most of the physicochemical parameters crossing the permissible limit in polluted pond water in the presence of FM1 minimal media in 10 days of incubation. The dissolved oxygen level was significantly increased up to 74.91% from 5.86 ± 0.39 to 10.25 ± 0.95 in 10 days of treatment. The metal reduction and other physicochemical properties reduction were directly related to the biomass of A. flavus DDN. These findings suggest that A. flavus DDN can remove pollutants from magnesite mine tailing polluted pond water because elevated fungal biomass resulted in the highest percentage of pollutant reduction from the sample.

Abstract
This sustainable approach was performed to evaluate the bioremediation potential of cyanide resistant bacterial species on sago industry effluents and assess the possibility of using the yielded biomass as single cell protein (SCP). The predominant cyanide tolerant bacterium enumerated from muddy soil was identified as Streptomyces tritici D5 through 16S rRNA sequencing. The identified S. tritici D5 strains showed excellent resistant and degradation potential at 100 mM concentration of potassium cyanide. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties analysis of sago industry effluents results revealed that the most of the parameters were crossing the permissible limits of Pollution control board of India. The bioremediation process was performed at various temperatures at 25 °C, 35 °C, and 45 °C for a period of 30 days of continuous bioremediation process with the aid of an aerator. Surprisingly, the best organic pollutant reduction was found at 35 °C and 45 °C, with 25 °C following close behind. Remarkably, the dissolved oxygen (DO) level was gradually increased from 2.24 to 12.04 mg L-1 at 35 °C in 30 days of the remediation process. The pH and ammonia were also significantly increased during the bioremediation process in 30 days of treatment. Similarly, at 35 °C of bioremediation process the S. tritici D5 yielded maximum dried biomass (6.9 g L-1) with the total crude protein (SCP) as 4.8 g L-1 (69.56%) in 30 days of growth. These findings stated that S. tritici D5 can treat sago industry effluents and that the biomass produced may be considered SCP after some in-vitro and in-vivo analyses.

Bioinorg Chem Appl 2022; 2022:9493816. [PMID: 38623354 PMCID: PMC11018370 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9493816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was aimed to investigate the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) synthesizing efficiency of aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus acidus. Furthermore, the antioxidant and anticancer activities of synthesized ZnONPs were also investigated through the in-vitro approach. The obtained results show that the aqueous extract of P. acidus can synthesize ZnONPs, as evidenced by a sharp absorbance peak at 375 nm. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed that the aqueous extract contained significant numbers of functional groups, which were involved in reducing zinc nitrate into ZnONPs. Also, they participate in the capping and stabilization of synthesized ZnONPs and their size ranged from 27.14-35.74 nm with a spherical shape . The results obtained in ABTS radical scavenging activity 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydroxyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and 2,2'-Azino-Bis(3-ethylbenzene thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays declared has excellent in-vitro radicals scavenging activity with reasonable IC50 values. Interestingly, these green synthesized ZnONPs have an excellent anticancer activity against human epidermoid carcinoma (Hep3) cell line in an in-vitro approach. These findings imply that an aqueous leaf extract of P. acidus can be used to synthesize pharmaceutically valuable ZnONPs. To consider such nanomaterials as potential therapeutic agents, optimization and in-vivo biomedical studies are required.
