Abstract
Vector-borne diseases pose a significant public health challenge in economically disadvantaged nations. Malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and lymphatic filariasis are spread by mosquitoes. Consequently, the most effective method of preventing these diseases is to eliminate the mosquito population. Historically, the majority of control programs have depended on chemical pesticides, including organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids. Synthetic insecticides used to eradicate pests have the potential to contaminate groundwater, surface water, beneficial soil organisms, and non-target species. Nanotechnology is an innovative technology that has the potential to be used in insect control with great precision. The goal of this study was to test the in vitro anti-dengue potential and mosquitocidal activity of Chaetomorpha aerea and C. aerea-synthesized Mn-doped superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CA-Mn-SPIONs). The synthesis of CA-Mn-SPIONs using C. aerea extract was verified by the observable alteration in the colour of the reaction mixture, transitioning from a pale green colour to a brown. The study of UV-Vis spectra revealed absorbance peaks at approximately 290 nm, which can be attributed to the surface Plasmon resonance of the CA-Mn-SPIONs. The SEM, TEM, EDX, FTIR, vibrating sample magnetometry, and XRD analyses provided evidence that confirmed the presence of CA-Mn-SPIONs. In the present study, results revealed that C. aerea aqueous extract LC50 values against Ae. aegypti ranged from 222.942 (first instar larvae) to 349.877 ppm in bioassays (pupae). CA-Mn-SPIONs had LC50 ranging from 20.199 (first instar larvae) to 26.918 ppm (pupae). After treatment with 40 ppm CA-Mn-SPIONs and 500 ppm C. aerea extract in ovicidal tests, egg hatchability was lowered by 100%. Oviposition deterrence experiments showed that in Ae. aegypti, oviposition rates were lowered by more than 66% by 100 ppm of green algal extract and by more than 71% by 10 ppm of CA-Mn-SPIONs (oviposition activity index values were 0.50 and 0.55, respectively). Moreover, in vitro anti-dengue activity of CA-Mn-SPIONs has good anti-viral property against dengue viral cell lines. In addition, GC-MS analysis showed that 21 intriguing chemicals were discovered. Two significant phytoconstituents in the methanol extract of C. aerea include butanoic acid and palmitic acid. These two substances were examined using an in silico methodology against the NS5 methyltransferase protein and demonstrated good glide scores and binding affinities. Finally, we looked into the morphological damage and fluorescent emission of third instar Ae. aegypti larvae treated with CA-Mn-SPIONs. Fluorescent emission is consistent with ROS formation of CA-Mn-SPIONs against Ae. aegypti larvae. The present study determines that the key variables for the successful development of new insecticidal agents are rooted in the eco-compatibility and the provision of alternative tool for the pesticide manufacturing sector.

Synthesis and Characterization of SPIONs Encapsulating Polydopamine Nanoparticles and Their Test for Aqueous Cu 2+ Ion Removal. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1697. [PMID: 36837327 PMCID: PMC9967601 DOI: 10.3390/ma16041697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The removal of pollutants, such as heavy metals, aromatic compounds, dyes, pesticides and pharmaceuticals, from water is still an open challenge. Many methods have been developed and exploited for the purification of water from contaminants, including photocatalytic degradation, biological treatment, adsorption and chemical precipitation. Absorption-based techniques are still considered among the most efficient and commonly used approaches thanks to their operational simplicity. In recent years, polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticles have emerged for the uptake of heavy metals in water treatment, since they combine specific affinity towards pollutants and magnetic separation capacity. In this context, this work focuses on the synthesis of polydopamine (PDA)-coated Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (PDA@SPIONs) as adsorbents for Cu2+ ions, designed to serve as functional nanostructures for the removal of Cu2+ from water by applying a magnetic field. The synthetic parameters, including the amount of SPIONs and PDA, were thoroughly investigated to define their effects on the nanostructure features and properties. Subsequently, the ability of the magnetic nanostructures to bind metal ions was assessed on Cu2+-containing solutions. A systematic investigation of the prepared functional nanostructures was carried out by means of complementary spectroscopic, morphological and magnetic techniques. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) measurements were performed in order to estimate the Cu2+ binding ability. The overall results indicate that these nanostructures hold great promise for future bioremediation applications.

[PMID: 34582928 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132367] [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: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In mine drainage, Fe and Mn are the two most abundant elements exceeding the discharge criteria. Although Mn removal generally requires a pH exceeding 9.5-10.0, its coprecipitation and sorption by Fe and/or Al can significantly reduce the required pH. In this study, Mn removal efficiencies, mechanisms, and required pH were investigated by experiments involving varying concentrations of Mn, Fe, and Al at different pH, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. At pH > 7.9, precipitation as Mn (hydr)oxides was the principal Mn removal process, as indicated by the Mn removal plots, geochemical modeling, and XPS results. The precipitation was highly promoted by the heterogeneous oxidation of Fe and Al hydroxides. Coprecipitation-sorption experiments showed 65-80% lower Mn concentrations than those of sorption experiments at similar dosages and pH near 7.5. Fe(III) exhibited higher coprecipitation efficiency than Fe(II), possibly due to the prior oxidation of Fe(II). Fe(III) also displayed a coprecipitation-sorption efficiency five times more than Al. To decrease the Mn concentrations from 17-25 mg L-1 to <2 mg L-1 by coprecipitation-sorption, Fe(III)/Mn and Fe(II)/Mn ratios of ∼10 and ∼20, respectively, at pH 9.0 were required. Similarly, an Al/Mn ratio of ∼7 at pH 9.0 was required to reduce the Mn concentration to <5 mg L-1. Furthermore, the required Fe/Mn ratio decreased significantly when the initial Mn concentration decreased to 8-11 mg L-1. Utilizing the deduced relationships, required pH for Mn removal could be estimated and the design of Mn treatment facilities can be more efficient.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a rich field with infinite possibilities of drug designs for cancer treatment. We aimed to biosynthesize manganese nanoparticles (Mn NPs) using Lactobacillus helveticus to investigate its anticancer synergistic effect with low-dose gamma radiation on HCC-induced rats. Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (20 mg/kg BW, 5 times a week for 6 weeks) induced HCC in rats. Rats received Mn NPs (5 mg/kg BW/day) by gastric gavage over 4 weeks concomitant with single dose of gamma radiation (γ-R) (0.25 Gy). Characterization, cytotoxicity, and anticancer activity of Mn NPs were evaluated. DEN-induced significant liver dysfunction (alanine transaminase activity ALT, total proteins, and albumin levels) associated with significant increase in lipid peroxidation levels with reduction in super oxide dismutase activity. Furthermore, DEN intoxication is sponsored for remarkable increase in levels of Alfa-fetoprotein, tumor necrosis factor α, vascular endothelial growth factor, and transforming growth factor beta with remarkable decrease in caspase 3 and cytochrome c. Treatment with Mn NPs (4.98-11.58 nm) and single dose gamma radiation evoked significant repair in ALT, total protein, and albumin accompanied with balanced oxidative status, diminished inflammatory biomarkers, angiogenic factor, and growth factor with restoration in apoptotic factors. Mn NPs revealed obvious in vitro cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cell line in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings were well appreciated with the histopathological study. In conclusion, a new approach of the single or combined use of Mn NPs with low-dose γ-radiation regimens as promising paradigm for HCC treatment is recommended.

Abstract
The scientific community is inclined towards addressing environmental and energy concerns through sustainable means. Conventional processes such as chemical synthesis, involve the usage of environmentally harmful ligands and high tech facilities, which are time-consuming, expensive, energy-intensive, and require extreme conditions for synthesis. Plant-based synthesis is valuable and sustainable for the ecosystem. The use of plant-based precursors for nanoparticle synthesis eliminates the menace of toxic waste contamination. The present review elucidates that the plant based synthesized iron oxide and manganese oxide nanoparticles have tremendous and exceptional applications in various fields such as antimicrobial and antioxidative domains, environmental, electrical and sensing properties. Hence, the literature reviewed explains that plant based synthesis of nanoparticles is an adept and preferred technique. These important transition oxide metal nanoparticles have great applicability in ecological, environmental science as well as electrochemistry and sensing technology. Both these metal oxides display a stable and adaptable nature, which can be functionalized for a specific application, thus exhibiting great potential for efficiency. The current review epitomizes all the latest reported work on the synthesis of iron and manganese oxide nanoparticles through a greener approach along with explaining various significant applications keeping in view the concept of sustainability.

Abstract
This work reveals the As(V) adsorption behaviors onto iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles modified activated carbon (AC), originally developed from biochar (BC), as a green adsorbent denoted by FAC. Since FAC has abundant surface functional groups and a desired porous structure that is favorable for the removal of As(V) in contaminated water, FAC has greatly enhanced the As(V) adsorption capacity of the original BC. Various methods were employed to characterize the FAC characteristics and adsorption mechanism, including pHpzc determination, BET specific surface area, elemental analysis (EA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that the AC surface was successfully modified by iron oxide nanoparticles, enhancing the porosity and specific surface area of original adsorbent. Batch adsorption tests indicated a well-fitted Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model for As(V) adsorption. Additionally, the highest adsorption capacity (Q max = 32.57 mg/g) by FAC was higher than previously reported literature reviews. Until now, no article was conducted to research the effect of carbon surface chemistry and texture on As removal from waters. It is required to obtain a rational view of optimal conditions to remove As from contaminated water.
