Abstract
Arsenic with the scientific name AS is an element that exists everywhere. It is the fourth among the abundant elements in water, the twelfth in the human body, and the twentieth in the earth's crust. This element exists in sulfide, carbonate, and elemental forms. Different names of arsenic are known as white arsenic (As2O3), yellow arsenic (As2S3), and red arsenic (As4S4). Nowadays, due to its unique properties, arsenic has received much attention from researchers for use in the synthesis of arsenic nanoparticles. According to various studies, arsenic nanoparticles are synthesized by various methods, including biological, physical, and chemical, and it has been shown that the synthetic method used is very important because it has a significant effect on their shape, size, and biological function. Arsenic nanoparticles are among the nanoparticles that have attracted the attention of researchers due to their particle potential as well as their anticancer, antitumor, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial applications. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate arsenic nanoparticles biosynthesized by different physical, biological, and chemical methods and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) to enhance plant growth and protection against heavy metal toxicity has been extensively studied. However, its potentiality to reduce arsenate toxicity, a threat to plant growth and metabolism, has been hardly investigated. Moreover, the toxic effect of arsenic oxide nanoparticles (As-NPs) on plants and possible mechanisms for its alleviation has not yet been explored. In this study, the impact of the bioactive actinomycete Streptomyces spp. on the growth, physiology and stress-related metabolites, such as sugars and proline, on As-NPs-stressed wheat and maize plants was investigated. Soil amendment with arsenic oxide nanoparticles (As-NPs) induced the uptake and accumulation of As in the plants of both species, resulting in reduced growth and photosynthesis, but less marked in maize than in wheat plants. Under As-NPs-free conditions, Streptomyces spp. treatment markedly improved growth and photosynthesis in wheat only. The application of Streptomyces spp. reduced As accumulation, recovered the As-NPs-induced growth, photosynthesis inhibition, and oxidative damage in plants of both species. Wheat plants specifically accumulated soluble sugars, while both species accumulated proline. Under As-NPs stress, the ornithine pathway of proline biosynthesis was more important in maize than in wheat plants, while the glutamine pathway was dominant in wheat ones. The addition of Streptomyces spp. further induced the accumulation of proline and starch in both plant species. Overall, despite a different response to Streptomyces spp. under nontoxic conditions, the amendment of as-contaminated soil with Streptomyces spp. induced similar metabolic responses in the two tested species, which trigger stress recovery.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a prevalent parasitic infection belonging to neglected tropical diseases. It is caused by Leishmania protozoan parasites transmitted by sandflies and it is responsible for increased morbidity/mortality especially in low- and middle-income countries. The lack of cheap, portable, easy to use diagnostic tools exhibiting high efficiency and specificity impede the early diagnosis of the disease. Furthermore, the typical anti-leishmanial agents are cytotoxic, characterized by low patient compliance and require long-term regimen and usually hospitalization. In addition, due to the intracellular nature of the disease, the existing treatments exhibit low bioavailability resulting in low therapeutic efficacy. The above, combined with the common development of resistance against the anti-leishmanial agents, denote the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, the lack of effective prophylactic vaccines hinders the control of the disease. The development of nanoparticle-based biosensors and nanocarrier-aided treatment and vaccination strategies could advance the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of leishmaniasis. The present review intends to highlight the various nanotechnology-based approaches pursued until now to improve the detection of Leishmania species in biological samples, decrease the side effects and increase the efficacy of anti-leishmanial drugs, and induce enhanced immune responses, specifically focusing on the outcome of their preclinical and clinical evaluation.

Abstract
The symbiosis between Vallisneria denseserrulata and indigenous Bacillus sp. XZM was investigated for arsenic removal for the first time. It was found that the native bacterium was able to reduce arsenic toxicity to the plant by producing higher amount of extra cellular polymeric substances (EPS), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderosphore. Interestingly, V. denseserrulata-Bacillus sp. XZM partnership showed significantly higher arsenic uptake and removal efficiency. The shift in FT-IR spectra indicated the involvement of amide, carboxyl, hydroxyl and thiol groups in detoxification of arsenic, and the existence of an arsenic metabolizing process in V. denseserrulata leaves. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images further confirmed that the bacterium colonized on plant roots and facilitated arsenic uptake by plant under inoculation condition. In plant, most of the arsenic existed as As(III) (85%) and was massively (>77%) found in vacuole of particularly leaves cells. Thus, these findings are highly suggested for arsenic remediation in the constructed wetlands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arsenic, an environmental pollutant, is a carcinogenic metalloid and also an anticancer agent. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the toxicity of arsenic nanoparticles in rat hepatocytes. METHODS Freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were exposed to 0, 20, 40, and 100 μM of arsenic nanoparticles and its bulk counterpart. Their viability, reactive oxygen species level, glutathione depletion, mitochondrial and lysosomal damage, and apoptosis were evaluated. RESULTS By all concentrations, lysosomal damage and apoptosis were clearly evident in hepatocytes exposed to arsenic nanoparticles. Evaluation of mitochondria and lysosomes revealed that lysosomes were highly damaged. CONCLUSION Exposure to arsenic nanoparticles causes apoptosis and organelle impairment. The nanoparticles have potentially higher toxicity than the bulk arsenic. Lysosomes are highly affected. It seems that, instead of mitochondria, lysosomes are the first target organelles involved in the toxicity induced by arsenic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Rhizospheric and plant root associated microbes generally play a protective role against arsenic toxicity in rhizosphere. Rhizospheric microbial interaction influences arsenic (As) detoxification/mobilization into crop plants and its level of toxicity and burden. In the present investigation, we have reported a rhizospheric fungi Aspergillus flavus from an As contaminated rice field, which has capability to grow at high As concentration and convert soluble As into As particles. These As particles showed a reduced toxicity to soil dwelling bacteria, fungi, plant and slime mold. It does not disrupt membrane potential, inner/outer membrane integrity and survival of the free N2 fixating bacteria. In arbuscular mycorrhiza like endophytic fungi Piriformospora indica, these As particles does not influence mycelial growth and plant beneficial parameters such as phosphate solubilizing enzyme rAPase secretion and plant root colonization. Similarly, it does not affect plant growth and chlorophyll content negatively in rice plant. However, these As particles showed a poor absorption and mobilization in plant. These As particle also does not affect attachment process and survival of amoeboid cells in slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. This study suggests that the process of conversion of physical and chemical properties of arsenic during transformation, decides the toxicity of arsenic particles in the rhizospheric environment. This phenomenon is of environmental significance, not only in reducing arsenic toxicity but also in the survival of healthy living organism in arsenic-contaminated rhizospheric environment.

Abstract
Zintl phases of arsenic and molecular compounds containing Zintl-type polyarsenide ions are of fundamental interest in basic and applied sciences. Unfortunately, the most obvious and reactive arsenic source for the preparation of defined molecular polyarsenide compounds, yellow arsenic As4 , is very inconvenient to prepare and neither storable in pure form nor easy to handle. Herein, we present the synthesis and reactivity of elemental As0 nanoparticles (As0 Nano , d=7.2±1.8 nm), which were successfully utilized as a reactive arsenic source in reductive f-element chemistry. Starting from [Cp*2 Sm] (Cp*=η5 -C5 Me5 ), the samarium polyarsenide complexes [(Cp*2 Sm)2 (μ-η2 :η2 -As2 )] and [(Cp*2 Sm)4 As8 ] were obtained from As0 nano , thereby generating the largest molecular polyarsenide of the f-elements and circumventing the use of As4 in preparative chemistry.

Abstract
A simple method for the sequestration of As(III) and Cr(VI) from water has been demonstrated by utilizing a highly flexible porous coordination polymer (PCP) of Ni(II) in its as synthesized form or without solvent removal. This PCP reduces the high toxicity of As(III) and Cr(VI) ions into non-toxic As(0) and Cr/Cr2O3/CrO2 (zero, tri and tetravalent) nanoparticles (NPs) within its pores, and this is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis. The high functionality of this polymer is due to the presence of monodentate carboxylate groups of a benzenetricarboxylate linker, which provide anchoring sites to the metal ions of the metal precursors. Due to the highly oxidising nature of these toxic ions, a redox reaction takes place between the framework metal ions and toxic metal ions, which is explained by an electron paramagnetic resonance study. This is the first report to synthesize non-toxic, as well as useful, NPs of As and Cr from their highly toxic ions within the cavities of a PCP for remediation of the toxic waste stream and contaminated waste water.

Abstract
Phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a specific protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitor significantly decreased the motility and viability of Setaria cervi ultimately leading to its death. The PTP activity present in the cytosolic and detergent soluble fractions as well as on surface of these parasites was significantly inhibited by PAO. A marked alteration in protein spots abundance after proteomic analysis showed 14 down-regulated and 9 upregulated spots in the treated parasites as compared to the control. The PTP inhibition led to increase in the cytosolic and mitochondrial calpain activity in these parasites. PAO also blocked the ATP generation in the parasite depicted by reduced activity of phosphoglycerate kinase and expression of enolase. An increased ROS level, induced lipid peroxidation/protein carbonyl formation and decreased activity of different antioxidant enzymes like thioredoxin reductase, glutathione reductase and glutathione transferases was also observed in the PAO treated parasites. PAO, thus disturbs the overall homeostasis of the filarial parasite by inhibiting PTPs. Thereby suggesting that these molecules could be used as a good chemotherapeutic target for lymphatic filariasis.
