Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135121. [PMID: 39197601 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 08/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
An important objective of researchers is to develop a perfect wound dressing that can effectively treat different kinds of wounds. Natural substances with beneficial qualities, such as plant extracts and biopolymers are an ideal aid for wound care. Hydrogels based on biopolymers offer a lot of promising applications for topical use and are biocompatible, hydrophilic and non-toxic. When employed alone or in conjunction with other active agents, herbal extracts have a great deal of use in the healing of wounds. This study comprises Ruellia tuberosa extract loaded with carboxymethyl cellulose and guar gum hydrogels that have potential anti-bacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hemocompatibility. Using mouse fibroblast cells (L929), the MTT (3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) test was conducted to assess the biocompatibility. Furthermore, the scratch wound assay using the L929 fibroblast cell line of mouse was employed to assess the in vitro wound healing potential of the synthesised composite hydrogels.

Biogenically synthesized porous TiO 2 nanostructures for advanced anti-bacterial, electrochemical, and photocatalytic applications. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121728. [PMID: 38991334 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121728] [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: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
This study develops environmentally benign capping technique to synthesize nanoparticles of Curcuma longa-coated titanium dioxide (CR-TiO2) from titanium isopropoxide by utilizing the extract of Rosa rubiginosa flowers as reducing and chelating agent. The biogenically synthesized nanoparticles revealed excellent anti-bacterial, electrochemical, and photocatalytic properties due to the presence of porous TiO2 nanostructures. The sharp peaks by XRD pattern showed the crystallinity and phase purity of TiO2 nanoparticles. BET analysis proved mesoporous nature of the materials with specific surface area of 134 m2 g -1. The vibrational spectra suggest hydroxyl groups from flavonoids of Curcuma longa acting as functionalizing agent for TiO2 nanoporous structures with visible luminescence, which is proven in fluorescence spectra and is applicable for photocatalytic studies. The anti-bacterial studies showed good inference on TiO2 nanoparticles against Pseudomonas auruginosa and proved it to be an excellent antipseudomonal agent with the oxidative potential. The maximum degradation of phenol red dye in the presence of TiO2 under visible light conditions was observed. The supercapacitor fabricated using the biogenic TiO2 three-electrode system exhibited a specific capacitance of 128 Fg-1 (10 mV s-1), suggesting it as an excellent electrode material. The LSV curve at 50 mV s-1 scan rate showed that oxygen reduction potential (ORR) of CR-TiO2 electrodes was 121 mV. The present study is a new application of nanoparticles in sustainability consideration of the environment as well as a solution to the power crisis with fewer limitations. The well-distinguished antidiabetic and BSA denaturation potential suggests that these porous TiO2 nanostructures can be useful for drug delivery as glucose inhibitors and oral anti-inflammatory drugs with the restriction of adverse side effects.

Abstract
Ficus drupacea is a medicinal tree found in temperate regions. Various parts of this plant had been used traditionally for the treatment of various ailments such as root powder applied externally for skin infections. Analysis was carried out on the bioactive lipids extracted from Ficus drupacea fruit using both petroleum-based solvent (Hexane) and an environmentally friendly solvent Dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The results showed that DMC extraction yielded a high oil content in Ficus drupacea fruit (6.51 %). When examining the fatty acid composition using GC-FID analysis, Ficus drupacea oil extracted with DMC contained significant proportions of essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (32.317 %), oleic acid (20.946 %), palmitic acid (25.841 %), etc. Additionally, DMC extraction resulted in higher levels of total phenolics in Ficus drupacea fruit oil compared to hexane. Moreover, DMC extracted oil exhibited stronger antioxidant properties, such as radical scavenging, anti- arthritic, photoprotective activity while displayed similar anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity as hexane-extracted oil. In summary, these findings demonstrate that DMC is an efficient and safer alternative to conventional solvent hexane for extracting oils from Ficus drupacea fruit. It is rich in bioactive compounds essential for human nutrition, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, with enhanced biological activities.

Evaluation of Antibacterial, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Anticancer Efficacy of Titanium-Doped Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles. Cureus 2024; 16:e51737. [PMID: 38318546 PMCID: PMC10840046 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.51737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current development of nanoparticles (NPs) with significant antibacterial properties, low cost and low toxicity has made it possible to develop novel techniques for treatments in the medical field. The titanium metal oxide, when combined with a carbonaceous material like graphene, which has excellent absorbing capacity, is efficient in loading drugs and thus helps in drug delivery and also in biomedical applications like anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Titanium-doped graphene oxide nanoparticles (Ti/GO-NPs) were processed by the one-pot synthesis method; further characterization was performed by using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis and biomedical applications like anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial activities. RESULTS The synthesized end product of Ti/GO-NPs showed a creamy white appearance. Subsequent characterization studies of UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed a peak level of 373 nm at 24 hours and 404 nm after 48 hours. FT-IR analysis exhibited a broad absorption band within the range of 1000-3500 cm-1, which was attributed to various chemical compounds of C-Br, C-I stretching, C=C bending, S=O stretching, O=H stretching, C=C stretching, H bonded and OH stretching to different absorbance wavelength ranges. SEM analysis exhibited quasi-spherical-shaped Ti/GO-NPs with an average particle size of 50- 100 nm and EDX analysis showed the elemental composition of 32.3% titanium 43.9% oxygen and 2.5% carbon. The antibacterial activity showed moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus and no activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and E. coli. The antioxidant activity exhibited 88% at 50 µg/mL concentration, the anti-inflammatory activity revealed 80% at 80 µg/mL concentration and the anticancer activity showed 21% at 150 µg/mL concentration. CONCLUSION The characterization and biomedical application conclude that a combination of Ti/GO-NPs will be efficient in drug delivery. The study showed moderate antibacterial activity and significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Considering their physiochemical properties, absorption capacity and mechanism of drug delivery, Ti/GO-NPs can be incorporated into various applications in the medical field.
