Abstract
Functionalized 2-pyridones are important biologically active compounds, DNA base analogues and synthetic intermediates. Herein, we report a simple, green, solid-state synthesis of differently substituted 2-pyridones. It starts from commercially available amines and activated alkynes, uses silica gel (15%Cs2CO3/SiO2) as the solid phase and a reaction vial as the only equipment. If necessary, heating is performed in a laboratory oven. Since most reactions are completed within a few hours, no additional energy consumption is required. The syntheses do not require solvents and other reagents and are easily monitored by standard analytical techniques. The atom economy is high, since all atoms of reactants are present in the products and EtOH is the only by-product. The syntheses produce polyfunctionalized conjugated dienes as the only intermediates, which are also important building blocks.

Abstract
The twelve principles of green chemistry illuminate the pathway in the direction of sustainable and eco-friendly synthesis, marking a fundamental shift in synthetic organic chemistry paradigms. In this realm, harnessing the power of visible light for the difunctionalization of various skeletons without employing any external oxidant or reductant, specifically termed as redox-neutral difunctionalization, has attracted tremendous interest from synthetic organic chemists due to its low cost, easy availability and environmentally friendly nature in contrast to traditional metal-catalyzed difunctionalizations. This review presents an overview of recent updates on visible-light-induced redox-neutral difunctionalization reactions with literature coverage up to May 2024.

Application of biohybrid membranes for arsenic and chromium removal and their impact on pollutant accumulation in soybean (Glycine max L.) seedlings.

Abstract
Chromium and arsenic are among the priority pollutants to be controlled by regulatory and health agencies due to their ability to accumulate in food chains and the harmful effects on health resulting from the ingestion of food contaminated with metals and metalloids. In the present work, four biohybrid membrane systems were developed as alternatives for the removal of these pollutants, three based on polyvinyl alcohol polymeric mesh (PVA, PVA-magnetite, PVA L-cysteine) and one based on polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), all associated with bioremediation agents. The efficiency of the bioassociation process was assessed through count methods and microscopy. The removal capacity of these systems was evaluated in synthetic liquid medium, both in the absence and in the presence of soybean (Glycine max L.) seedlings. The content of chromium and arsenic was also analyzed in aerial and hypogeous tissues of seedlings grown on contaminated solid substrate. PVA and PVA-magnetite biohybrid membranes showed the highest removal rates, between 57 and 75% of the initial arsenic content and more than 80% of the initial chromium content after 48 h of treatment, when evaluated in synthetic liquid media with initial concentrations of 2.5 ppm of pentavalent arsenic and 5 ppm of hexavalent chromium, both in presence and absence of seedlings. PVA and PBAT promoted a significant reduction of arsenic translocation to the aerial parts, generally edible, of this crop of agronomic interest. The systems tested showed a high potential for biotechnological applications in matrices affected by the presence of arsenic and chromium.

Abstract
Photocatalysts and noble metals have attracted considerable attention for their potential in addressing global environmental pollution through photochemical processes. At low temperatures, multifunctional self-cleanable wool fabric was developed through green photo-sonosynthesis of N-Ag/TiO2/ZnO. A narrower bandgap of the hybrid photocatalyst, the surface plasmonic resonance effect of silver nanostructures, and nitrogen doping resulted in synergistically enhanced self-cleaning activity. The self-cleaning activity was evaluated by monitoring the discoloration of methylene blue stains on the wool fabric exposed to natural sunlight, using CIELAB color space and ΔE measurements. The ΔE value of the N-Ag/TiO2/ZnO-sonicated wool was superior, showing a value of 45.9 compared to 15.7 for the control and 28.7 for the sample coated by the stirrer. Furthermore, the nanocomposite construction improved tensile strength, enhanced fabric hydrophilicity, and reduced the yellowness index. Additionally, the synthesis of TiO2 and silver particles on ZnO particles increased surface resistance to acid, reducing ZnO acid solubility. The reflectance of the non-treated wool ranged from 5 to 20 % within 200-380 nm, while the reflectance of the Ag/TiO2/ZnO-sonicated sample remained constant at 4 %, exhibiting protection against UV rays. AATCC test revealed 100 % bacteria reduction against E. coli and S. aureus and 99 % against C. albicans fungus for N-Ag/TiO2/ZnO-sonicated sample. Moreover, cell culture assays demonstrated a viability of over 70 %, indicating non-cytotoxicity.

Abstract
With the advent of nanotechnology, the treatment of cancer is changing from a conventional to a nanoparticle-based approach. Thus, developing nanoparticles to treat cancer is an area of immense importance. We prepared silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from methanolic extract of Alpinia galanga rhizome and characterized them by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Zetasizer, and Transmission electron Microscopy (TEM). UV-Vis spectrophotometry absorption spectrum showed surface plasmon between 400 and 480 nm. FTIR spectrum analysis implies that various phytochemicals/secondary metabolites are involved in the reduction, caping, and stabilization of AgNPs. The Zetasier result suggests that the particles formed are small in size with a low polydispersity index (PDI), suggesting a narrow range of particle distribution. The TEM image suggests that the particles formed are mostly of spherical morphology with nearly 20-25 nm. Further, the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) image showed five electron diffraction rings, suggesting the polycrystalline nature of the particles. The nanoparticles showed high anticancer efficacy against cervical cancer (SiHa) cell lines. The nanostructures showed dose-dependent inhibition with 40% killing observed at 6.25 µg/mL dose. The study showed an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to the synthesis of AgNPs and provided insight into the development of antioxidant and anticancer agents.

Abstract
In this work, AgNPs were synthesized using an anthocyanin extract from Peruvian purple potato INIA 328-Kulli papa. The anthocyanin extract was obtained through a conventional extraction with acidified ethanolic aqueous solvent. This extract acted as both a reducing and stabilizing agent for the reduction of silver ions. Optimization of synthesis parameters, including pH, reaction time, and silver nitrate (AgNO3) concentration, led to the optimal formation of AgNPs at pH 10, with a reaction time of 30 min and an AgNO3 concentration of 5 mM. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) revealed that the AgNPs had a crystallite size of 9.42 nm and a hydrodynamic diameter of 21.6 nm, with a zeta potential of -42.03 mV, indicating favorable colloidal stability. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis confirmed the presence of anthocyanin functional groups on the surface of the AgNPs, contributing to their stability. Furthermore, the bacterial activity of the AgNPs was evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). For E. coli, the MIC was 0.5 mM (0.05 mg/mL) and the MBC was 4.5 mM (0.49 mg/mL). Similarly, for S. aureus, the MIC was 0.5 mM (0.05 mg/mL) and the MBC was 4.0 mM (0.43 mg/mL). These results highlight the potential benefits of AgNPs synthesized from Peruvian purple potato anthocyanin extract, both in biomedical and environmental contexts.

Abstract
Many physical and chemical properties of solids, such as strength, plasticity, dispersibility, solubility and dissolution are determined by defects in the crystal structure. The aim of this work is to study in situ dynamic, dispersion, chemical, biological and surface properties of lacosamide powder after a complete cycle of mechanical loading by laser scattering, electron microscopy, FR-IR and biopharmaceutical approaches. The SLS method demonstrated the spontaneous tendency toward surface-energy reduction due to aggregation during micronisation. DLS analysis showed conformational changes of colloidal particles as supramolecular complexes depending on the loading time on the solid. SEM analysis demonstrated the conglomeration of needle-like lacosamide particles after 60 min of milling time and the transition to a glassy state with isotropy of properties by the end of the tribochemistry cycle. The following dynamic properties of lacosamide were established: elastic and plastic deformation boundaries, region of inhomogeneous deformation and fracture point. The ratio of dissolution-rate constants in water of samples before and after a full cycle of loading was 2.4. The lacosamide sample, which underwent a full cycle of mechanical loading, showed improved kinetics of API release via analysis of dissolution profiles in 0.1 M HCl medium. The observed activation-energy values of the cell-death biosensor process in aqueous solutions of the lacosamide samples before and after the complete tribochemical cycle were 207 kJmol-1 and 145 kJmol-1, respectively. The equilibrium time of dissolution and activation of cell-biosensor death corresponding to 20 min of mechanical loading on a solid was determined. The current study may have important practical significance for the transformation and management of the properties of drug substances in solid form and in solutions and for increasing the strength of drug matrices by pre-strain hardening via structural rearrangements during mechanical loading.

Abstract
Introduction Researchers are increasingly favouring the use of biological resources in the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles. This synthesis process is quick and affordable. The current study examined the antibacterial and anticancer effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from the Neurada procumbens plant. Biomolecules derived from natural sources can be used to coat AgNPs to make them biocompatible. Methods UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to verify the synthesis of AgNPs from Neurada procumbens plant extract, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize their morphology, crystalline structure, stability, and coating. Results UV-visible spectrum of AgNPs shows an absorption peak at 422 nm, indicating the isotropic nature of these nanoparticles. As a result of the emergence of a transmission peak at 804.53 and 615.95 cm-1 in the spectrum of the infrared light emitted by atoms in a sample, FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that the Ag stretching vibration mode is metal-oxygen (M-O). Electron dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectral analysis shows that elementary silver has a peak at 3 keV. Irradiating the silver surface with electrons, photons, or laser beams triggers the illumination. The emission peak locations have been found between 300 and 550 nm. As a result of DLS analysis, suspended particles showed a bimodal size distribution, with their Z-average particle size being 93.38 nm. Conclusion The findings showed that the antibacterial action of AgNPs was substantially (p≤0.05) more evident against Gramme-positive strains (S. aureus and B. cereus) than E. coli. The biosynthesis of AgNPs is an environmentally friendly method for making nanostructures that have antimicrobial and anticancer properties.

Abstract
Poly (glycerol sebacate) is a widely studied elastomeric copolymer obtained from the polycondensation of two bioresorbable monomers, glycerol and sebacic acid. Due to its biocompatibility and the possibility to tailor its biodegradability rate and mechanical properties, PGS has gained lots of interest in the last two decades, especially in the soft tissue engineering field. Different synthetic approaches have been proposed, ranging from classic thermal polyesterification and curing to microwave-assisted organic synthesis, UV crosslinking and enzymatic catalysis. Each technique, characterized by its advantages and disadvantages, can be tailored by controlling the crosslinking density, which depends on specific synthetic parameters. In this work, classic and alternative synthetic methods, as well as characterisation and tailoring techniques, are critically reviewed with the aim to provide a valuable tool for the reproducible and customized production of PGS for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The development of one-pot, atom, and step-economic new methods avoiding metal, harsh reaction conditions, and toxic reagents for the synthesis of medicinally important hybrid molecules bearing more than one bioactive moieties is currently one of the hot topics in organic synthesis. Herein, we report a green and efficient room temperature multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of novel pyrazole-linked thiazoles involving a one-pot C-C, C-N, and C-S bond-forming process from the reaction of aryl glyoxal, aryl thioamide, and pyrazolones in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol, a hydrogen bond donating reaction medium. A set of diverse hybrid molecules bearing thiazole and pyrazole moieties were prepared in good to excellent yields by using this method. This methodology can also be extended to prepare thiazole-linked barbiturates as well as imidazole-linked pyrazoles. All the products were fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The notable features of this protocol are room temperature, metal as well as additive-free reaction conditions, use of recyclable solvent, water as the byproduct, wide substrate scope, operational simplicity, easy purification, applicability for gram-scale synthesis, high atom economy, and the presence of two bioactive pyrazole and thiazole moieties in the products.

Abstract
Polyphenolic compounds have natural antioxidant properties, and their antioxidant activity is usually related to the number and position of hydroxyls. Here, we successfully applied the engineered 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylases (4HPA3Hs) derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa to catalyze ferulic acid (FA) synthesis of ortho-hydroxyferulic acid (5-hydroxyferulic acid, 5-OHFA). Through optimization of co-expression, the oxygenase component (PaHpaB) and the reductase component (PaHpaC) in E. coli, and optimization of whole-cell catalytic conditions, the engineered strain BC catalyzed ortho-hydroxylation of 2 g/L of FA with a yield of 75 % from 39 %. Through tunnel engineering of PaHpaB, the obtained mutants F301A and Q376A almost completely transformed 2 g/L of FA. Further, a multiple mutant L214A/F301A/Q376A converted 4 g/L FA into 5-OHFA within 12 h, and the yield reached 99.9 %, which was approximately 2.39-fold of the wild type. The kcat/Km value of L214A/F301A/Q376A was about 307 times greater than that of the wide type. Analysis of three-dimensional structural models showed that L214, F301, and Q376 mutated into Ala, which greatly shortened the side chain and broadened the tunnel size, thereby significantly improving the catalytic efficiency of L214A/F301A/Q376A. This biosynthesis of 5-OHFA is simple, efficient, and green, suggesting that it is useful for efficient biosynthesis of polyphenolic compounds.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) is a kind of typical two-dimensional (2D) material that has been increasingly developed alongside other 2D materials such as graphene, MXenes, and transition-metal dichalcogenide. However, its potential applications have not been widely whispered compared to those of other 2D materials. Using its distinctive properties, BiOI can be used for various applications, especially when it meets sunlight and other light-related electromagnetic waves. In this present review, we discuss the developments of BiOI and challenges in the applications for photodetector and light-assisted sensors, photovoltaic devices, optoelectronic logic devices, as well as photocatalysts. We start the discussion with a basic understanding and development of BiOI, crystal structure, and its properties. The synthesis and further development, such as green synthesis and its challenges in the synthesis-suited industry, as well as device integration, are also explained together with a plausible strategy to enhance the feasibility of BiOI for those various applications. We believe that the provided discussion and perspectives will not only promote BiOI to be one of the highly considered 2D materials but can also assist recent graduates in any materials science discipline and inform the senior scientists and industrial-based stakeholders of the latest advances in bismuth oxide and mixed-anion compounds.

Abstract
Combining sonochemistry with phytochemistry is a modern trend in the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), which contributes to the sustainability of chemical processes and minimizes hazardous effects. Herein, titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs were bioengineered using a novel and facile ultrasound-assisted approach utilizing the greenly extracted essential oil of Ocimum basilicum. FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used to confirm the formation of TiO2 NPs. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the crystalline nature of TiO2 NPs. TEM analysis revealed the spherical morphology of the NPs with sizes ranging from 5.55 to 13.89 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirmed the purity of the greenly synthesized NPs. TiO2 NPs demonstrated outstanding antitumor activity against breast (MCF-7) and lung (A-549) cancer cells with estimated IC50 values of 1.73 and 4.79 μg mL-1. The TiO2 NPs were cytocompatible to normal cells (MCF-10A) with a selectivity index (SI) of 8.77 for breast and 3.17 for lung cancer. Biological assays revealed a promising potential for TiO2 NPs to induce apoptosis and arrest cells at the sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle phase in both cancer cell lines. Molecular investigations showed the ability of TiO2 NPs to increase apoptotic genes' expression (Bak and Bax) and their profound ability to elevate the expression of apoptotic proteins (caspases 3 and 7). Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding interactions for TiO2 NPs with caspase 3 and EGFR-TK targets. In conclusion, the greenly synthesized TiO2 NPs exhibited potent antitumor activity and mitochondrion-based cell death against breast and lung cancer cell lines while maintaining cytocompatibility against normal cells.

Abstract
Biotransformation is recognised as a green chemistry tool to synthesise diverse natural product analogues for valorisation of their chemistry and bioactivities. It offers significant benefits compared to chemical synthesis, given its cost-effectiveness and greater selectivity. In this work, a curcumin analogue, namely gingerenone A, was yielded from the biotransformation process catalysed by Streptomyces sp. K1-18. The structure of the compound was established by using mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry chemical profiling assisted with in silico fragmentation by MetFrag tool. This biotransformation successfully afforded a reduction reaction on curcumin. This is the first report on utilisation of Streptomyces sp. K1-18 as a biocatalyst for biotransformation of curcumin.

Abstract
Due to the non-optimal response of most types of cancer to various treatment methods and their rapid progress, research continues in the field of producing drugs with less toxicity and greater efficiency. There are many nanocomposites with diverse biological activities that include part of anticancer drugs in new pharmacological science. The present investigation describes a green procedure for the in situ support of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) over sodium lignosulfonate (NaLS) modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag) and its subsequent biological and chemical performance. FT-IR, TEM, FE-SEM, EDS, ICP, VSM and XRD techniques were used to characterize the synthesized Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag. The catalytic efficacy of the desired composite was applied in the N-acetylation of various amines in the presence of Ac2O under solvent-free conditions. The Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag catalyst was recovered by an external magnet and reused for nine runs without a significant decrease in the activity. The cytotoxic and anti-cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma potentials of biologically synthesized Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag nanocomposite against PM1 and MET1 cells were determined. The anti-cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma properties of the Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag nanocomposite could significantly remove PM1 and MET1 cells. The IC50 of Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag nanocomposite was 288 and 270 μg/mL against PM1 and MET1 cells, respectively. Also, Fe3O4@NaLS/Ag nanocomposite presented a high antioxidant potential according to the IC50 value. According to the above results, the recent nanocomposite can be used in treating cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma after doing clinical trial studies.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Chitosan, a chitin deacetylation product, has been applied in nanoparticle or nano-chitosan for medical applications. However, the chitin extraction from crustacean shells and other natural resources, chitin deacetylation, and crosslinking of the chitosan forming the nano-chitosan mostly involve hazardous chemical and physical processes. The risks of these processes to human health and the environment attract the attention of scientists to develop safer and greener techniques. This review aims to describe the progress of harmless chitosan synthesis. Experimental Approach All strongly related publications to each section, which were found on scientific search engines (Google Scholar, Scopus, and Pubmed), were studied, selected, and then used as references in writing this review. No limitation for the publication year was applied. The publications were searched from April 2022 - June 2023. Key Results Nano-chitosan could be synthesized in harmless techniques, including the preparation of the chitosan raw materials and crosslinking the chitosan polymer. Enzymatic processes in shell deproteination in the chitin extraction and deacetylation are preferable to reduce the negative effects of conventional chemical-physical processes. Mild alkalines and deep eutectic solvents also provide similar benefits. In the nano-chitosan synthesis, naturally derived compounds (carrageenan, genipin, and valinin) show potency as safer crosslinkers, besides tripolyphosphate, the most common safe crosslinker. Conclusion A list of eco-friendly and safer processes in the synthesis of nano-chitosan has been reported in recent years. These findings are suggested for the nano-chitosan synthesis on an industrial scale in the near future.

Abstract
Camptothecin is an important anticancer alkaloid produced by particular plant species. No suitable synthetic route has been established for camptothecin production yet, imposing a stress on plant-based production systems. Endophytes associated with these camptothecin-producing plants have been reported to also produce camptothecin and other high-value phytochemicals. A previous study identified a fungal endophyte Alternaria burnsii NCIM 1409, isolated from Nothapodytes nimmoniana, to be a sustainable producer of camptothecin. Our study provides key insights on camptothecin biosynthesis in this recently discovered endophyte. The whole genome sequence of A. burnsii NCIM 1409 was assembled and screened for biosynthetic gene clusters. Comparative studies with related fungi supported the identification of candidate genes involved in camptothecin synthesis and also helped to understand some aspects of the endophyte's defense against the toxic effects of camptothecin. No evidence for horizontal gene transfer of the camptothecin biosynthetic genes from the host plant to the endophyte was detected suggesting an independent evolution of the camptothecin biosynthesis in this fungus.

Abstract
Here, a comparative toxicity assessment of precursor carbon dots from coffee waste (cofCDs) obtained using green chemistry principles and Gd-doped nanohybrids (cofNHs) was performed using hematological, biochemical, histopathological assays in vivo (CD1 mice, intraperitoneal administration, 14 days), and neurochemical approach in vitro (rat cortex nerve terminals, synaptosomes). Serum biochemistry data revealed similar changes in cofCDs and cofNHs-treated groups, i.e. no changes in liver enzymes' activities and creatinine, but decreased urea and total protein values. Hematology data demonstrated increased lymphocytes and concomitantly decreased granulocytes in both groups, which could evidence inflammatory processes in the organism and was confirmed by liver histopathology; decreased red blood cell-associated parameters and platelet count, and increased mean platelet volume, which might indicate concerns with platelet maturation and was confirmed by spleen histopathology. So, relative safety of both cofCDs and cofNHs for kidney, liver and spleen was shown, whereas there were concerns about platelet maturation and erythropoiesis. In acute neurotoxicity study, cofCDs and cofNHs (0.01 mg/ml) did not affect the extracellular level of L-[14C]glutamate and [3H]GABA in nerve terminal preparations. Therefore, cofNHs demonstrated minimal changes in serum biochemistry and hematology assays, had no acute neurotoxicity signs, and can be considered as perspective biocompatible non-toxic theragnostic agent.

Minneci M, Misevicius M, Rozas I. Green Synthesis of Nitroaryl Thioureas: Towards an Improved Preparation of Guanidinium DNA Binders. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2023; 90:129346.

Abstract
We present a general efficient green method for the preparation of nitro N,N'-diaryl thioureas via a one-pot method using cyrene as a solvent with almost quantitative yields. This confirmed the viability of cyrene as a green alternative to THF in the synthesis of thiourea derivatives. After screening different reducing conditions, the nitro N,N'-diaryl thioureas were selectively reduced using Zn dust in the presence of water and acid to the corresponding amino N,N'-diaryl thioureas. These were then used to test the installation of the Boc-protected guanidine group with N,N'-bis-Boc protected pyrazole-1-carboxamidine as a guanidylating reagent not requiring mercury(II) activation. Finally, the TFA salts obtained after Boc-deprotection of two sample compounds were tested for their affinity towards DNA showing no binding.

[PMID: 36858304 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) has been decorated with natural biomaterials and DNA to develop a promising strategy and suitable and safe co-delivery platform for doxorubicin and sorafenib (DOX-SOR). FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, and TEM were used to characterize the modified MOFs. Combined Ginkgo biloba leaf extract and E. coli DNA were used as green decorations, and as environmentally-friendly methods to be developed, and DOX and SOR were attached to the porosity and on the surface of the MOFs. TEM and FESEM images demonstrated that the green MOFs were successfully synthesized for biomedical applications and showed their cubic structure. As a result of the nanocarrier-drug interactions, 59.7% and 60.2% of the drug payload were achieved with DOX and SOR, respectively. HEK-293, HT-29, and MCF-7 cells displayed excellent viability by decoration with DNA and Ginkgo biloba leaf extract at low and high concentrations (0.1 and 50 μg/mL), suggesting they could be used in biomedical applications. MTT assays demonstrated that the nanocarriers are highly biocompatible with normal cells and possess anticancer properties when applied to HT-29 and MCF-7 cells. As a result of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract and DNA modification, DOX-SOR release was prolonged and pH-sensitive (highest release at pHs 4.5 and 5.5). The internalization and delivery of the drug were also studied using a 2d fluorescence microscope, demonstrating that the drug was effectively internalized. Cell images showed NPs internalizing in MCF-7 cells, proving their efficacy as drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Rongalite has been used as a cheap and efficient carbon synthon for the synthesis of divergent N-heteroaromatics, including different pyridines and quinolines. The selective synthesis of different products can be achieved by employing enaminones or enaminones/anilines as reaction partners. In addition, compared with the reaction using conventional aldehyde synthons, rongalite displays an evident advantage in providing products with considerably higher product yields under milder conditions. The GC-MS analysis of the reaction process has been performed to probe the possible reaction mechanism.

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) Prepared by Microwave and Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis: Promising Green Strategies for the Nanoworld.

[PMID: 37242575 PMCID: PMC10221859 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15051333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Many pharmaceutically active molecules are highly lipophilic, which renders their administration and adsorption in patients extremely challenging. Among the countless strategies to overcome this problem, synthetic nanocarriers have demonstrated superb efficiency as drug delivery systems, since encapsulation can effectively prevent a molecules' degradation, thus ensuring increased biodistribution. However, metallic and polymeric nanoparticles have been frequently associated with possible cytotoxic side effects. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), which are prepared with physiologically inert lipids, therefore emerged as an ideal strategy to bypass toxicities issues and avoid the use of organic solvents in their formulations. Different approaches to preparation, using only moderate amounts of external energy to facilitate a homogeneous formation, have been proposed. Greener synthesis strategies have the potential to provide faster reactions, more efficient nucleation, better particle size distribution, lower polydispersities, and furnish products with higher solubility. Particularly microwave-assisted synthesis (MAS) and ultrasound-assisted synthesis (UAS) have been utilized in the manufacturing of nanocarrier systems. This narrative review addresses the chemical aspects of those synthesis strategies and their positive influence on the characteristics of SLNs and NLCs. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and future challenges for the manufacturing processes of both types of nanoparticles.

Abstract
The new path chosen is more appropriate in the context of green chemistry. This research aims to construct 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,3-dicarbonitrile (THNDC) and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6,8-dicarbonitrile (THIDC) derivatives via the cyclization of three easily obtainable reactants under an environmentally benign mortar and pestle grinding technique. Notably, the robust route offers an esteemed opportunity for the introduction of multi-substituted benzenes and ensures the good compatibility of bioactive molecules. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds are investigated using docking simulations with two representative drugs (6c and 6e) for target validation. The physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, drug-like properties (ADMET), and therapeutic friendliness characteristics of these synthesized compounds are computed.

Abstract
Advancements in the fields of ionic liquids (ILs) broaden its applications not only in traditional use but also in different pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Ionic liquids "Solutions for Your Success" have received a lot of interest from scientists due to a myriad of applications in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery systems as well as targeting different diseases. Solubility is a critical physicochemical property that determines the drug's fate at the target site. Many promising drug candidates fail in various phases of drug research due to poor solubility. In this context, ionic liquids are regarded as effective drug delivery systems for poorly soluble medicines. ILs are also able to combine different anions/cations with other cations/anions to produce salts that satisfy the concept behind the ILs. The important characteristics of ionic liquids are the modularity of their physicochemical properties depending on the application. The review highlights the recent advancement and further applications of ionic liquids to deliver drugs in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields.

Abstract
There is an increased interest in porous materials due to their unique properties such as high surface area, enhanced catalytic properties, and biological applications. Various solvent-based approaches have been already used to synthesize porous materials. However, the use of large volume of solvents, their toxicity, and time-consuming synthesis make this process less effective, at least in terms of principles of green chemistry. Mechanochemical synthesis is one of the effective eco-friendly alternatives to the conventional synthesis. It adopts the efficient mixing of reactants using ball milling without or with a very small volume of solvents, gives smaller size nanoparticles (NPs) and larger surface area, and facilitates their functionalization, which is highly beneficial for antimicrobial applications. A large variety of nanomaterials for different applications have already been synthesized by this method. This review emphasizes the comparison between the solvent-based and mechanochemical methods for the synthesis of mainly inorganic NPs for potential antimicrobial applications, although some metal-organic framework NPs are briefly presented too.

Abstract
We present the green, highly atom-economical, solid-state silica gel-catalyzed synthesis of polysubstituted 1,4- and 1,2-dihydropyridines (DHPs) from commercially available materials, amines and ethyl propiolate. The DHP skeleton was assembled by heating the reactants and silica gel in a closed vessel. Aliphatic amines provided 1,4-isomers as the main or only DHP products, but the reactions of aromatic amines yielded a mixture of 1,4- and 1,2-isomers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the formation of a 1,2-DHP structure by the reaction of an amine with propiolic ester. Addition of 1 mass percent of H2SO4 to silica gel shifted the product distribution to 1,4-DHP as the main or the only isomer obtained. Experimental and theoretical analyses led to the identification of two key intermediates en route to DHPs and the explanation of the observed regioisomeric ratios. 1,2-DHPs show blue-cyan fluorescence in MeOH with the quantum yield Φ = 0.10-0.22 relative to quinine sulfate Φ = 0.58 and 1,4-DHPs show blue-violet fluorescence with Φ = 0.09-0.81.

Abstract
Currently, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as potential risks for humans due to adopting a sedentary lifestyle and inaccurate diagnoses. The early detection of NCDs using point-of-care technologies significantly decreases the burden and will be poised to transform clinical intervention and healthcare provision. An imbalance in the levels of circulating cell-free microRNAs (ccf-miRNA) has manifested in NCDs, which are passively released into the bloodstream or actively produced from cells, improving the efficacy of disease screening and providing enormous sensing potential. The effective sensing of ccf-miRNA continues to be a significant technical challenge, even though sophisticated equipment is needed to analyze readouts and expression patterns. Nanomaterials have come to light as a potential solution as they provide significant advantages over other widely used diagnostic techniques to measure miRNAs. Particularly, CNDs-based fluorescence nano-biosensors are of great interest. Owing to the excellent fluorescence characteristics of CNDs, developing such sensors for ccf-microRNAs has been much more accessible. Here, we have critically examined recent advancements in fluorescence-based CNDs biosensors, including tools and techniques used for manufacturing these biosensors. Green synthesis methods for scaling up high-quality, fluorescent CNDs from a natural source are discussed. The various surface modifications that help attach biomolecules to CNDs utilizing covalent conjugation techniques for multiple applications, including self-assembly, sensing, and imaging, are analyzed. The current review will be of particular interest to researchers interested in fluorescence-based biosensors, materials chemistry, nanomedicine, and related fields, as we focus on CNDs-based nano-biosensors for ccf-miRNAs detection applications in the medical field.

Abstract
Continuous-flow chemistry has become a mainstream process and a notable trend among emerging technologies for drug synthesis. It is routinely used in academic and industrial laboratories to generate a wide variety of molecules and building blocks. The advantages it provides, in terms of safety, speed, cost efficiency and small-equipment footprint compared to analog batch processes, have been known for some time. What has become even more important in recent years is its compliance with the quality objectives that are required by drug-development protocols that integrate inline analysis and purification tools. There can be no doubt that worldwide government agencies have strongly encouraged the study and implementation of this innovative, sustainable and environmentally friendly technology. In this brief review, we list and evaluate the development and applications of continuous-flow processes for antibiotic synthesis. This work spans the period of 2012-2022 and highlights the main cases in which either active ingredients or their intermediates were produced under continuous flow. We hope that this manuscript will provide an overview of the field and a starting point for a deeper understanding of the impact of flow chemistry on the broad panorama of antibiotic synthesis.

Abstract
Today's demand for precisely predicting chemical reactions from first principles requires research to go beyond Gibbs' free energy diagrams and consider other effects such as concentrations and quantum tunneling. The present work introduces overreact, a novel Python package for propagating chemical reactions over time using data from computational chemistry only. The overreact code infers all differential equations and parameters from a simple input that consists of a set of chemical equations and quantum chemistry package outputs for each chemical species. We evaluate some applications from the literature: gas-phase eclipsed-staggered isomerization of ethane, gas-phase umbrella inversion of ammonia, gas-phase degradation of methane by chlorine radical, and three solvation-phase reactions. Furthermore, we comment on a simple solvation-phase acid-base equilibrium. We show how it is possible to achieve reaction profiles and information matching experiments.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is an interdisciplinary field where nanostructured objects are applied to treat or diagnose disease. Nanoparticles (NPs) are a special class of materials at nanometric scale that can be prepared from lipids, polymers, or noble metals through bottom-up approaches. Biological synthesis is a reliable, sustainable, and non-toxic bottom-up method that uses phytochemicals, microorganisms, and enzymes to induce the reduction of metal ions into NPs. Silver (Ag) NPs exhibit potent therapeutic properties that can be exploited to overcome the limitations of current treatment modalities for human health issues such as lung cancer (LC). Here, we review the preparation of AgNPs using biological synthesis and their application against LC using in vitro and in vivo models. An overview of the staging, diagnosis, genetic mutations, and treatment of LC, as well as its main subtypes, is presented. A summary of the reaction mechanisms of AgNPs using microbial cell cultures, plant extracts, phytochemicals, and amino acids is included. The use of capping agents in the biosynthesis of AgNPs with anticancer activity is also detailed. The history and biological activities of metal-based nanostructures synthesized with gold, copper, palladium, and platinum are considered. The possible anticancer mechanisms of AgNPs against LC models are covered. Our perspective about the future of AgNPs in LC treatment and nanomedicine is added.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalysed C-H functionalization reactions are one of the most efficient synthetic methodologies to construct carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. The initial developments in the field were largely dominated by expensive transition metal catalysts. However, in the past decade, the focus of the catalyst shifted to first-row transition metals and copper catalysis contributed significantly. Abundant, cost-effective, and less toxic copper catalysts are an ideal green alternative to palladium and similar metals. The intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling itself developed as a prominent area of focus as the strategy straightaway affords complex polycyclic scaffolds in one pot. Regioselective activation of inert C-H bonds were made possible with copper catalysts and interestingly, oxygen served as the terminal oxidant in most of the cases. In the present review the focus is on the intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling reactions between carbon-hydrogen and heteroatom-hydrogen bonds to afford carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero atom bonds, catalysed/mediated by copper salts. Though the intermolecular dehydrogenative coupling reactions of copper have already been reviewed more than once, to the best of our knowledge this is the first comprehensive account of copper-based intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling.

Abstract
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) raises a serious concern as it contributes to the global mortality by 5 million deaths per year. The overall impact pertaining to significant membrane changes, through broad spectrum drugs have rendered the bacteria resistant over the years. The economic expenditure due to increasing drug resistance poses a global burden on healthcare community and must be dealt with immediate effect. Nanoparticles (NP) have demonstrated inherent therapeutic potential or can serve as nanocarriers of antibiotics against multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens. These carriers can mask the antibiotics and help evade the resistance mechanism of the bacteria. The targeted delivery can be fine-tuned through surface functionalization of Nanocarriers using aptamers, antibodies etc. This review covers various molecular mechanisms acquired by resistant bacteria towards membrane modification. Mechanistic insight on 'NP surface-bacterial membrane' interactions are crucial in deciding the role of NP as therapeutic. Finally, we highlight the potential accessible membrane targets for designing smart surface-functionalized nanocarriers which can act as bacteria-targeted robots over the existing clinically available antibiotics. As the bacterial strains around us continue to evolve into resistant versions, nanomedicine can offer promising and alternative tools in overcoming AMR.

Abstract
Background Biosynthesized nanoparticles are gaining popularity due to their distinctive biological applications as well as bioactive secondary metabolites from natural products that contribute in green synthesis. Methodology This study reports a facile, ecofriendly, reliable, and cost-effective synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs), and polymeric PVP-silver-copper oxide nanocomposite using ethanol extract of seaweed Laurencia dendroidea and were evaluated for antiprotozoal, anticancer and photocatalytic potential. The nanostructures of the AgNPs, CuONPs, and polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite were confirmed by different spectroscopic and microscopic procedures. Results The UV-vis spectrum displayed distinct absorption peaks at 440, 350, and 470 nm for AgNPs, CuONPs, and polymeric Ag-CuO nanocomposite, respectively. The average particles size of the formed AgNPs, CuONPs, and Ag-CuO nanocomposite was 25, 28, and 30 nm, respectively with zeta potential values -31.7 ± 0.6 mV, -17.6 ± 4.2 mV, and -22.9 ± 4.45 mV. The microscopic investigation of biosynthesized nanomaterials revealed a spherical morphological shape with average crystallite sizes of 17.56 nm (AgNPs), 18.21 nm (CuONPs), and 25.46 nm (PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite). The antiprotozoal potential of green synthesized nanomaterials was examined against Leishmania amazonensis and Trypanosoma cruzi parasites. The polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite exerted the highest antiprotozoal effect with IC50 values of 17.32 ± 1.5 and 17.48 ± 4.2 µM, in contrast to AgNPs and CuONPs. The anticancer potential of AgNPs, CuONPs, and polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite against HepG2 cancer cell lines revealed that all the nanomaterials were effective and the highest anticancer potential was displayed by PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite with IC50 values 91.34 µg mL-1 at 200 µg mL-1 concentration. Additionally, PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite showed strong photocatalytic effect. Conclusion Overall, this study suggested that the biogenic synthesized nanomaterials AgNPs, CuONPs, and polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite using ethanol extract of seaweed L. dendroidea possesses promising antiprotozoal anticancer and photocatalytic effect and could be further exploited for the development of antiprotozoal and anticancer therapeutics agents.

Abstract
Diarrhea is a condition in which feces is discharged from the bowels frequently and in a liquid form. It is one of the frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The impact of Diarrhea is worsened by the increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance among the causative agents, and this is now categorized as a global healthcare challenge. Antimicrobial resistance among Diarrheal pathogens also contributes to extended infection durations, and huge economic loss even in countries with advanced public health policies. The ever-increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance including the contraindications arising from the administration of antibiotics in some Diarrheal cases highlights a crucial need for the development of novel non-antibiotic alternative agents for therapeutic and biocontrol applications. One such intervention includes the application of plant-derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) with novel antimicrobial properties. Given their small size and large surface area to volume ratio, PDNPs can attack target bacterial cell walls to generate reactive oxygen species that may simultaneously disrupt bacteria cell components such as DNA and proteins leading to cell damage or death. This potential can make it very difficult for pathogenic organisms to develop resistance against these antibacterial agents. In this review, we provide a critical overview on the antimicrobial resistance crisis among Diarrheagenic bacteria. We also discuss the evidence from the existing literature to support the potential associated with the use of PDNPs as alternative therapeutic agents for multidrug resistant and antibiotics administer contraindicated bacteria that are associated with Diarrhea.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have the potential to be used in aquaculture, but their influence on the growth and health of aquatic organisms has not been extensively investigated. In this study, the abalone viscera hydrolysates decorated AgNPs (AVH-AgNPs) were dispersed into aquaculture water at different concentrations (0, 6, 9, and 18 μg/l) to evaluate the biological effects on zebrafish (Danio rerio). The results showed that the AVH-AgNPs treatments of 6 and 9 μg/l promoted the growth and did not cause obvious damage to the gills, intestines, and livers of zebrafish. All the treatments induced catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and increased glutathione (GSH) content in the livers and upregulated the expression of immune related genes. The effects of 9 and 18 μg/l AVH-AgNPs treatments were more obvious. After AVH-AgNPs treatment, the abundances of some potential pathogens, such as species Plesimonas shigelloides and Pseudomonas alcaligenes and genus Flavobacterium decreased significantly. In contrast, the abundance of some beneficial bacteria that can degrade pollutants and toxins (e.g., Rhodococcus erythropolis) increased significantly. Thus, the application of low concentrations (6 ~ 18 μg/l) of AVH-AgNPs in aquaculture water is relatively safe and has a positive effect on zebrafish farming.

Abstract
A new green procedure has been applied to prepare TiO2 nanocomposite in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix using an aqueous micelle solution of ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bromide by determining critical micelle concentration (CMC). The COSMO-SAC model has been used to calculate the activity coefficient of water and understand the water molecules' behavior in the synthesis mixture. The prepared nanocomposite was porous and layered that has been characterized using FT-IR, XRD, DSC, TGA, SEM, EDX, and elemental mapping. The prepared nanocomposite has been used to remove Congo red dye from contaminated water with the adsorption process. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms have been used for modeling equilibrium adsorption of dye removal. Also, the optimized process factors have been evaluated that could achieve 97% dye removal in the following conditions: pH = 12, T = 25 ℃, and t = 45 min using 0.2 g TiO2@PVA (Mesh 100)/L of 10 ppm Congo red aqueous solution. Also, the efficiency of the nanocomposite was 88% after 5 recovery cycles from the optimized condition.

Abstract
Greener nanocatalyst synthesis is growing in importance, especially when using scarce noble metals such as platinum (Pt) as the active metal. In the synthesis process presented herein, we utilized extract of mangosteen peel as a green reductant and found that it produces Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with high activity. The supported Pt NPs were synthesized via thermos-destabilization of a mangosteen extract microemulsion and subsequently tested with α-methyl styrene (AMS) hydrogenation at SATP. Additionally, we optimized the green synthesis of the supported Pt nanocatalyst (NPs) in terms of their synthesis yield and catalytic activity using the approaches of full factorial design (FFD), central composite design (CCD), and response surface methodology (RSM). In comparing the results of single and multiple optimization, it was found that for the single optimization, the synthesis yield of supported Pt NPs could be increased from their average value of 78.9% to 99.75%, and their activity from 2136 to 15 600 μmol s-1 gPt -1. The results of multiple response optimization to the yield and activity are 81.71% and 8255 μmol s-1 gPt -1, respectively. The optimization approach presented in this study is suitable for similar catalyst synthesis procedures where multivariate responses are sensitive to a number of experimental factors.

Abstract
Recently, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been widely studied and described. In the age of bacterial drug resistance, an intensive search for new agents with antibacterial properties or a new form of antibiotics with effective action is necessary. As a result, the antibacterial activity of AuNPs functionalized with natural compounds is being investigated more frequently. AuNPs biosynthesized with plant extract or functionalized with bioactive compounds isolated from plants could be particularly useful for pharmaceutical applications. The biosynthesized AuNPs are stabilized by an envelope, which may consist of flavonoids, phenolic acids, lipids and proteins as well as carbohydrates and vitamins. The composition of the natural coating affects the size, shape and stability of the AuNPs and is also responsible for interactions with the bacterial cell wall. Recently, several mechanisms of AuNP interactions with bacterial cells have been identified. Nevertheless, they are not yet well understood, due to the large diversity of plants and biosynthesized AuNPs. Understanding the antibacterial mechanisms allows for the creation of pharmaceutical formulations in the most useful form. Utilizing AuNPs functionalized with plant compounds as antibacterial agents is still a new concept. However, the unique physicochemical and biological properties of AuNPs emphasises their potential for a broad range of applications in the future.

Abstract
In the quest to effectively diagnose and treat the diseases that afflict mankind, the development of a tool capable of simultaneous detection and treatment would provide a significant cornerstone for the survival and control of these diseases. Theranostics denotes a portmanteau of therapeutics and diagnostics which simultaneously detect and treat ailments. Research advances have initiated the advent of theranostics in modern medicine. Overall, theranostics are drug delivery systems with molecular or targeted imaging agents integrated into their structure. The application of theranostics is rising exponentially due to the urgent need for treatments that can be utilized for diagnostic imaging as an aid in precision and personalised medicine. Subsequently, the emergence of nanobiotechnology and the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has provided one such avenue for nanoscale development and research. Of interest is the drastic rise in the use of medicinal plants in the synthesis of MNPs which have been reported to be potentially effective in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. At present, medicinal plant-derived MNPs have been cited to have broad pharmacological applications and have been studied for their potential use in the treatment and management of cancer, malaria, microbial and cardiovascular diseases. The subject of this article regards the role of medicinal plants in the synthesis of MNPs and the potential role of MNPs in the field of theranostics.

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Cocos nucifera leaf extract: characterization, antimicrobial, antioxidant and photocatalytic activity. ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2022; 9:220858. [PMID: 36425517 PMCID: PMC9682308 DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been successfully prepared using Cocos nucifera leaf extract and their antimicrobial, antioxidant and photocatalytic activity investigated. The structural, compositional and morphological properties of the NPs were recorded and studied systematically to confirm the synthesis. The aqueous suspension of NPs showed an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption maxima of 370 nm, indicating primarily its formation. X-ray diffraction analysis identified the NPs with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and an average particle size of 16.6 nm. Fourier transform infrared analysis identified some biomolecules and functional groups in the leaf extract as responsible for the encapsulation and stabilization of ZnO NPs. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis showed the desired elemental compositions in the material. A flower-shaped morphology of ZnO NPs was observed by scanning electron microscopy, with a grain size of around 15 nm. The optical properties of the NPs were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the band gap was calculated as 3.37 eV. The prepared ZnO NPs have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against T. harzianum and S. aureus, with a zone of inhibition of 14 and 10 mm, respectively. The photocatalytic behaviour of ZnO NPs showed absorbance degradation at around 640 nm and it discoloured methylene blue dye after 1 h, with a degradation maximum of 84.29%. Thus, the prepared ZnO NPs could potentially be used in antibiotic development and pharmaceutical industries, and as photocatalysts.

Silver and copper-oxide nanoparticles prepared with GA 3 induced defense in rice plants and caused mortalities to the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål). NANOIMPACT 2022; 28:100428. [PMID: 36126900 DOI: 10.1016/j.impact.2022.100428] [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: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanoparticles have been employed as nanopesticides for pest control in agriculture. However, the harmful effects of their chemical synthesis on human and environmental health have resulted in increased use of green synthetic approaches, including the use of plant extracts. The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (BPH), is a severe pest of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.), especially in Asia. It is usually controlled chemically but has developed resistance against many insecticides. RESULTS In this study, we synthesized metallic silver (Ag-NPs) and copper-oxide (CuO-NPs) nanoparticles using the exogenous phytohormone, gibberellic acid (GA3), as a reducing agent. We then sprayed them separately on rice plants and BPH together and evaluated their effects on the plants and insects. SEM and TEM images showed that the synthesis was successful, indicated by the sizes (25-60 nm), uniform shape and spherical and cubical structures of Ag-NPs, as well as by the rugby sheet-like of CuO-NPs with lateral sizes of 150-340 nm and thickness of 30-70 nm. Independent applications of the nanoparticles and GA3 on rice plants induced different volatile profiles, of which the highest number emitted was under Ag-NPs, including the highest emission of linalool. Transcriptome analysis showed that Ag-NPs-treated rice plants showed different transcriptome profiles compared to the control, 24 h after treatment, including the upregulation of the linalool synthase gene, genes of plants transcription factors such as WRKY, bHLH and NAC and other genes involved in plant defense responses. In all treatments, the mortality rate of BPH increased with an increase in NPs concentrations over time but was prominent under Ag-NPs treatment. The LC50 values for Ag-NPs and CuO-NPs decreased with an increase in time. Also, the nanoparticles increased the activities of protective enzymes (POD, SOD and CAT), inhibited that of detoxification enzymes (A-CHE, ACP and AKP), and reduced total protein concentrations in the BPH. CONCLUSIONS These results show that synthesizing nanoparticles using phytohormones may be a safer and environmentally friendly option, which also holds promise for controlling the BPH in rice production.
