Abstract
One of the main goals of medicinal chemistry in recent years has been the development of new enzyme inhibitors and anti-cancer medicines. The isokaempferide' ability to inhibit the enzymes urease, elastase, and collagenase were also studied. The results showed that isokaempferide was the most effective compound against the assigned enzymes, with IC 50 values of 23.05 µM for elastase, 12.83 µM for urease, and 33.62 µM for collagenase respectively. It should be emphasized that natural compound was more effective at inhibiting some enzymes. Additionally, the compound was tested for their anti-cancer properties using colon, lung, breast cancer cell lines. The chemical activities of isokaempferide against urease, collagenase, and elastase were investigated utilizing the molecular docking study. The anti-cancer activities of the compound were evaluated against lung cancer cells such as SPC-A-1, SK-LU-1, 95D, breast cancer cells like MCF7, Hs 578Bst, Hs 319.T, and UACC-3133 cell lines, and colon cancer cell lines like CL40, SW1417, LS1034, and SW480. The chemical activities of isokaempferide against some of the expressed surface receptor proteins (EGFR, estrogen receptor, CD47, progesterone receptor, folate receptor, CD44, HER2, CD155, CXCR4, CD97, and endothelin receptor) in the mentioned cell lines were assessed using the molecular docking calculations. The results showed the probable interactions and their characteristics at an atomic level. The docking scores revealed that isokaempferide has a strong binding affinity to the enzymes and proteins. In addition, the compound formed powerful contact with the enzymes and receptors. Thus, isokaempferide could be potential inhibitor for enzymes and cancer cells.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have evolved tremendously during recent years, in part due to the rapid expansion of nanotechnology and to their active magnetic core with a high surface-to-volume ratio, while their surface functionalization opened the door to a plethora of drug, gene and bioactive molecule immobilization. Taming the high reactivity of the magnetic core was achieved by various functionalization techniques, producing MNPs tailored for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular or neurological disease, tumors and cancer. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are established at the core of drug-delivery systems and could act as efficient agents for MFH (magnetic fluid hyperthermia). Depending on the functionalization molecule and intrinsic morphological features, MNPs now cover a broad scope which the current review aims to overview. Considering the exponential expansion of the field, the current review will be limited to roughly the past three years.

Abstract
The current study offers an efficient design of novel nanoparticle microspheres (MCs) using a hydrothermal approach. The Co0.5Ni0.5GaxFe2−xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) MCs were prepared by engineering the elements, such as cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), and gallium (Ga). There was a significant variation in MCs’ physical structure and surface morphology, which was evaluated using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The anti-proliferative activity of MCs was examined by MTT assay and DAPI staining using human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT-116), human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), and a non-cancerous cell line—human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293). Post 72 h treatment, MCs caused a dose dependent inhibition of growth and proliferation of HCT-116 and HeLa cells. Conversely, no cytotoxic effect was observed on HEK-293 cells. The anti-fungal action was assessed by the colony forming units (CFU) technique and SEM, resulting in the survival rate of Candida albicans as 20%, with severe morphogenesis, on treatment with MCs x = 1.0. These findings suggest that newly engineered microspheres have the potential for pharmaceutical importance, in terms of infectious diseases and anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
There is enormous interest in combining two or more nanoparticles for various biomedical applications, especially in anti-cancer agent delivery. In this study, the microsphere nanoparticles were prepared (MSNPs) and their impact on cancer cells was examined. The MSNPs were prepared by using the hydrothermal method where strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), dysprosium (Dy), samarium (Sm), and iron oxide (Fe8−2xO19) were combined, and dysprosium (Dy) and samarium (Sm) was substituted with strontium (Sr) and barium (Ba), preparing Sr0.5Ba0.5DyxSmxFe8−2xO19 (0.00 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) MSNPs. The microspheres were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The diffraction pattern of nanohexaferrites (NHFs) reflected the signature peaks of the hexagonal structure. The XRD revealed a pure hexagonal structure without any undesired phase, which indicated the homogeneity of the products. The crystal size of the nanoparticles were in the range of 22 to 36 nm by Scherrer’s equation. The SEM of MSNPs showed a semi-spherical shape with a high degree of aggregation. TEM and HR-TEM images of MSNPs verified the spherical shape morphology and structure that approved an M-type hexaferrite formation. The anti-cancer activity was examined on HCT-116 (human colorectal carcinoma) and HeLa (cervical cancer cells) using MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and post-48 h treatment of MSNPs caused a dose-dependent inhibition of HCT-116 and HeLa cell proliferation and growth. Conversely, no significant cytotoxic effect was observed on HEK-293 cells. The treatments of MSNPs also induced cancer cells DNA disintegration, as revealed by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. Finally, these findings suggest that synthesized MSNPs possess potential inhibitory actions on cancerous cells without harming normal cells.

Abstract
Fatty acids-assisted superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) NPs was biologically synthesized using extract of polyherbal drug Liv52 (L52E). The NPs were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD and VSM. The major biological molecules present in L52E analysed by GC-MS were saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid 21.95%; stearic acid 13.99%; myristic acid 1.14%), monounsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid 18.43%), polyunsaturated fatty acid (linoleic acid 20.45%), and aromatic phenol (cardanol monoene 11.92%) that could imply in bio-fabrication and stabilization of γ-Fe2O3 NPs. The FT-IR spectra revealed involvement of carboxylic group of fatty acids, amide group of proteins and hydroxyl group of phenolic compounds that acts as reducing and capping agents. The synthesized NPs were used to investigate their antimicrobial, antibiofilm activity against P. aeruginosa, MRSA and C. albicans and anticancer activity on colon cancer cells (HCT-116) for biomedical applications. Further, molecular docking study was performed to explore the interaction of Fe2O3 NPs with major cell wall components i.e., peptidoglycan and mannoproteins. The docking studies revealed that Fe2O3 interacted efficiently with peptidoglycan and mannoproteins and Fe2O3 get accommodated into catalytic cleft of mannoprotein. Due to magnetic property, the biological activity of γ-Fe2O3 can be further enhanced by applying external magnetic field alone or in amalgamation with other therapeutics drugs.

Abstract
Here we report the electrospinning synthesis of Cd-substituted Ni-Co ferrite Ni0.5Co0.5-xCdxFe1.78Nd0.02O4 (x ≤ 0.25) nanofiber (NFs) with a very low concentration of Nd as a dopant. The structure and surface morphology of the Ni0.5Co0.5-xCdxFe1.78Nd0.02O4 (x ≤ 0.25) NFs were analyzed by X-ray powder pattern (XRD), transmission and scanning electron microscopes (TEM) along with Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). We have examined the biological applications of the Ni0.5Co0.5-xCdxFe1.78Nd0.02O4 (x ≤ 0.25) NFs on both cancerous cells and bacterial cells. We have found that Ni0.5Co0.5-xCdxFe1.78Nd0.02O4 (x ≤ 0.25) NFs produced inhibitory action on the human colorectal carcinoma cells (HEK-293) and also showed inhibitory action on the bacterial strains (S. aureus and E. coli) respectively. Finally, this is the first report on the synthesis of Cd- substituted Co-Ni ferrite nanofibers using electrospinning technique exhibiting anti-cancer and anti-bacterial activities.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
