Abstract
Green synthesized nanoparticles (GSNPs) display fascinating properties compared to physical and chemical synthesized ones. GSNPs are currently used in numerous applications such as food packaging, surface coating agents, environmental remediation, antimicrobial, and medicine. In the present study, the aqueous leaf extract of Perilla frutescens L. having suitable capping, reducing, and stabilizing compounds was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Pf-AgNPs). The bioreductant capacity of aqueous leaf extract of P. frutescens for Pf-AgNPs was determined by different confirmatory techniques including UV-Visible spectroscopy, XRD, FESEM, EDX, zeta potential, DLS, SERS, and FTIR analysis. The results exhibited that Pf-AgNPs had optimal size (< 61 nm), shape (spherical), and stability (- 18.1 mV). The antioxidant activity of Pf-AgNPs with both DPPH and FRAP assays was significantly higher compared to P. frutescens extract. Furthermore, Pf-AgNPs had high antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 0.78 mg/mL), and Candida albicans (MIC = 8 mg/mL) while the plant extract showed low antimicrobial activity against both bacterial strains and the fungus tested. Pf-AgNPs and P. frutescens extract also exhibited moderate toxicity on MCF-7 cancer cells with IC50 values of 346.2 and 467.4 µg/mL, respectively. The results provide insights into using the biosynthesized Pf-AgNPs as an eco-friendly material for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to analyze the antileishmanial and antibacterial activity of Coffea arabica green seed biosynthesize silver nanoparticles (C. arabica AgNPs), as well as cytotoxicity and cytokine gene expression. UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and FESEM methods used to examine the C. arabica AgNPs. MTT test was used to assess the antileishmanial and cytotoxicity effects. The gene expression level was assessed in NPs-treated J774 cells by qPCR. The synthesized C. arabica AgNPs were in the size range of 20-70 nm, through FESEM pictures. The IC50 values of the NPs were 65. 4 and 47.70 μg/mL against promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania major, but these values were 580.1 and 171.1 μg/mL for Glucantime® as the control drug. C. arabica AgNPs represented a significant increase in IL-12P40, as a Th1 cytokine, in comparison to Glucantime® at high concentrations (P < 0.01), whilst IL-10 expression level showed a significant reduction between NPs-treated and Glucantime®-treated macrophages at 250-1000 μg/mL concentrations (P < 0.001). Moreover, the NPs were cytotoxic on cancer cell lines of Hek293, MCF7, and A172 with the CC50 values of 437.2, 116.8, and 72.9 µg/mL, respectively. It showed a significant effect of these NPs against A172 (P < 0.001). Also, the lowest MIC values of the NPs were obtained for Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus (204 µg/mL). According to the antileishmanial, anticancer, and antibacterial activity of these NPs, it can considered a bio-agent drug in the future in endemic countries.

Abstract
The in vitro callus induction of Solanum incanum L. was executed on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of auxin and cytokinin utilizing petioles and explants of leaves. The highest significant fresh weights from petioles and leaf explants were 4.68 and 5.13 g/jar for the medium supplemented with1.0 mg L-1 BA and 1.0 mg L-1 2,4-D. The callus extract of the leaves was used for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). Analytical methods used for Ag-NPs characterization were UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Spherical, crystallographic Ag-NPs with sizes ranging from 15 to 60nm were successfully formed. The FT-IR spectra exhibited the role of the metabolites involved in callus extract in reducing and capping Ag-NPs. The biological activities of Ag-NPs were dose-dependent. The MIC value for Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli was 12.5 µg mL-1, while it was 6.25 µg mL-1 for Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. The highest inhibition of phytopathogenic fungi Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger, and Pythium ultimum was 76.3 ± 3.7, 88.9 ± 4.1, 67.8 ± 2.1, and 76.4 ± 1.0%, respectively at 200 µg mL-1. Moreover, green synthesized Ag-NPs showed cytotoxic efficacy against cancerous cell lines HepG2, MCF-7 and normal Vero cell line with IC50 values of 21.76 ± 0.56, 50.19 ± 1.71, and 129.9 ± 0.94 µg mL-1, respectively.

Abstract
Today, nanoparticles are effectively used in different areas. Initially, physical and chemical methods were used in the synthesis of nanoparticles. Biosynthesis (green synthesis) has emerged as an alternative to overcome the toxic effects of chemically synthesized nanoparticles. In this study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the leaf extract of Anthurium andraeanum was performed. UV-Vis spectrophotometry, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and XRD were applied to characterize the biosynthesized nanoparticles. As a result of the characterization, the spectra showed that a spectrum at a wavelength of about 419 nm and a spherical size of 38 nm nanoparticles was formed. Antibacterial and biofilm inhibition activities of AgNPs against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were determined. AgNPs at a concentration of 1 mg/mL showed antibacterial activity against all of the bacterial strains. In the antibiofilm activity study, the highest inhibition percentage was obtained against the P. fluorescens strain at 87.1%, at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) based approaches using plant materials have been accepted as biomedical applications. The current study aimed to test the antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anticancer activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized by seed extract of Nigella sativa (Ns) as stabilizing and reducing agents. Characterization was done through UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) analyses. UV-Vis spectroscopy showed a specific silver plasmon peak at 400 nm and a quick color change was observed in the bio-reaction medium. Electron microscopic images of Ns-AgNPs identified as spherical in shape with varied size ranged between 8 and 80 nm and zeta potential analysis evidenced the particles stability and polydisperity. Antibiofilm activity of Ns-AgNPs was evident as at 12.5 µg/mL Ns-AgNps restricted the biofilm formation by 88.42% for Enterococcus faecalis, 84.92% for E. coli, 81.86% for Klebsiella pneumonia, 82.84% for Staphylococcus aureus, and 49.9% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. Furthermore, biologically synthesized AgNPs showed the significant bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity. Even the lowest concentration of Ns-AgNps restricted the highest rate of inhibition against S. aureus (6.5 and 15 µg/mL) and E. faecalis (6.5 and 15 µg/mL). Antimicrobial activity of S. aureus and E. fecalis was more prominent than E. coli (15 and 30 µg/mL), K. pneumonia (15 and 30 µg/mL) and P. aeruginosa (30 and 60 µg/mL) respectively. Moreover, Ns-AgNPs revealed significant cytotoxic ability and substantially killed human breast cancer cell (HCC-712) viability. The results of current study advocate that Ns-AgNps may be considered as a potential option in biomedical applications, alternative therapy, designing anti-biofilm agents, treating multi drug resistance bacterial infection, and anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is being used effectively in many areas contemporarily. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most crucial and remarkable nanomaterials involved in medical applications. These nanoparticles (NPs) have an important place in nanomedicine, nanotechnology, and in particularly, nanoscience. AgNPs are one of the most widely used materials in antibacterial and antiseptic practices. The synthesis of biogenic AgNPs has been applied as an alternative to physical and chemical synthesis. For this purpose, water extracts of Rhododendron ponticum were used for biosynthesis of AgNPs. Also, AgNPs were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer, scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs synthesized with Rhododendron ponticum was analyzed by the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) test. Also, the biofilm inhibition test was made, and AgNPs showed a strong effect for biofilm inhibition. In addition, the prepared nanoparticles were tried for cytotoxicity activity with the help of MTT assay in MCF-7 and 4T1 cancer cell lines.

Abstract
The mammalian immune system is a highly complex, interactive network of cells that facilitates innate and adaptive immune responses. The neonatal immune system may be more susceptible to chemical perturbations than that of the adult. The effects of immunotoxicants during development may not be fully detected in toxicity studies performed on adult animals. Studies characterizing the ontogeny of the immune system in developing animals have shown that there are different critical windows of susceptibility to immunotoxicants. Developmental differences are evident among species compared to humans. Functional immune assays, such as the T-cell antibody dependent response assay, in rat models have been validated for use in the assessment of immunotoxicity with other assays. Recently, published studies have explored the feasibility of using additional techniques, such as in vitro studies using human whole blood cells or cell lines, mostly lacking either sensitivity or proper validation for regulatory purposes. However, some techniques may be developed further to enable translation of animal toxicity findings to human risk assessment of potential immunotoxicants. This paper summarizes the information on the developing immune system in humans versus rats and how the currently available assays might be used to contribute to the safety assessment of food contact substances.
