Abstract
In the current scenario, many synthetic chemicals have used long-term to control pests and mosquitoes, leading to the resistance of strains and toxicity effect on human beings. To overcome the adverse problem in recent advances, the scientific community is looking into nanofabricated pesticides and mosquitoes. This study aims to synthesize the recyclable chitosan-coated cadmium nanoparticles (Ch-CdNps) using Plumeria alba flower extract, which was further applied for insecticidal and mosquitocidal activities. The synthesized Ch-CdNps were confirmed by UV spectroscopy and FTIR analysis. The XRD, TEM, and DLS results confirmed the crystallinity with a spherical shape at 80-100 nm. The insecticidal activity proves that Ch-CdNps inhibited Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura at 100 ppm. In mosquitocidal, LC50 values of larvicidal of 1st instar were 4.116, 4.33, and 4.564 µg/mL, and the remaining three stages of instars, pupicidal, adulticidal, longevity, fecundity, and ovicidal assays inhibit the Anopheles stephensi followed by Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. Further, the first-order kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange was confirmed. Based on the obtained results, Ch-CdNps can inhibit the pest, mosquitoes, and photocatalytic degradation.

Abstract
Jatropha integerrima Jacq. flower extract was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in the current study. Various spectroscopic analyses were used to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles (JIF-AgNPs). The antibacterial efficacy of JIF-AgNPs was studied by well diffusion and microdilution techniques. In addition, the impact of JIF-AgNPs on free radicals was evaluated. On the ultraviolet–visible spectrum, the nanoparticles exhibit the highest absorbance at 422 nm. Based on the Fourier transform infrared spectrum, phenols and amino acids were involved in capping the JIF-AgNPs. Crystalline sphere-shaped nanoparticles with an average size of 50.07 nm and zeta potential of −19.0 mV were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering analysis respectively. The JIF-AgNPs exhibit the highest and lowest growth inhibitory activity towards E. coli and B. subtilis. The minimal inhibitory concentration of JIF-AgNPs against E. coli, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and B. subtilis were 2.5, 5.0, 5.0, and 7.5 μg/mL, respectively. The JIF-AgNPs exhibited significant radical scavenging activities against DPPH (IC50-32.5 ± 0.06 µg/mL), hydroxyl (IC50-25 ± 0.09 µg/mL), Superoxide (IC50-42.5 ± 0.13 µg/mL), and ABTs (IC50-33.5 ± 0.15 µg/mL). Thus, synthesized nanoparticles were a good alternative to develop an antibacterial and antioxidant agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lichens were used as an ailment in the traditional medicine for treating various disorders for centuries. Since there is less evidence in the literature about the medicinal property of Parmelia sulcata (P. sulcata), we made a pioneer attempt to explore the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of lichens. METHODS In the present study, the three Samples were collected by using the column chromatography by elucidating the ethyl acetate extract of P. sulcata, and the samples were subjected to DPPH and ABTS assays to find the free radical scavenging activity, total phenols and flavonoids were estimated. The minimum inhibitory concentration was evaluated against the bacterial species (Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and fungal species (Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus) by the microdilution method. The best activity sample was analyzed using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). RESULTS The results shown that all the samples contain phenols and flavonoids which are responsible for antioxidants, antibacterial and antifungal activities. Among that sample-3 shown best antimicrobial activity and it was analyzed and identified as 7-hydroxy-3-(2-methylbut-3-en2-yl)-chromen-2-one. CONCLUSION The outcome of the study suggests that sample-3 shown good antimicrobial activity and identified as 7-hydroxy-3-(2-methylbut-3-en2-yl)-chromen-2-one. It can be a resource for further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent decades focus of research has been toward an alternative antibacterial agent because of growing bacterial resistance and side effects of antibacterial agents. In the current study, the antibacterial activity of gold nanoparticles has been evaluated on selected human pathogens. METHODS In this study, we used panchagavya (PG) to synthesize gold nanoparticles, and the resulting nanoparticles (PG-AuNPs) were characterized by several spectroscopic techniques. In addition, antibacterial activity of PG-AuNPs against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were studied by well diffusion method. RESULTS The synthesis of AuNPs was affirmed by a colour change, which was further validated by UV-vis spectra with a maximum absorption peak at 527 nm. Bandgap energy was calculated as 2.13 eV by Tauc method from the UV result. The presence of amino acids and proteins in PG was responsible for the conversion of gold ions to AuNPs, according to FTIR analysis. (111), (200), (220), and (311) crystallographic planes were observed by XRD; further crystalline nature was validated by SAED analysis. The size and zeta value were found to be 53.29 nm and -9.8 mV respectively. Spherical shaped nanoparticles and elemental structure of PG-AuNPs were confirmed by HRTEM and EDS analysis. The antibacterial activity of PG-AuNPs showed the maximum and minimum zone of inhibition against K. pneumoniae (17.12 ± 0.14 mm) and B. subtilis (11.42 ± 0.58 mm). CONCLUSION Antibacterial activity of PG-AuNPs was found to be strong against gram negative bacteria and moderate against gram positive bacteria. Based on the result, it was concluded that PG-AuNPs could be used to combat antibiotic drug resistance. Besides, in vitro and in vivo toxicity studies of PG-AuNPs should be conducted.

Abstract
Parmelia that belongs to the Parmeliaceae Family is a foliose lichen combined with one or
two groups of fungi in Phylum Ascomycota or Basidiomycota and algae, which might be green algae
or blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). It is generally called “Stone Flower,” “Charila,” “Pattharphool,”
or “Shilaaapushpa” in India. Lichen can be generally found growing on walls, old trees and spread
largely across India, especially in the mountain area. It is a source of edible organisms for people residing
in some regions of Nepal and it is also cultivated in hillsides of Kashmir. It has been found that lichen
contains a lot of distinctive chemical compounds such as evernic acid, lecanoric acid, lobaric acid,
norstictic acid, physodic acid, and salazinic acid. Some species of this lichen are recommended traditionally
for controlling diseases such as boils, bronchitis, inflammations, excessive salivation, toothache,
vomiting, etc. It has also applied as an indicator for biomonitoring, astringent, carminative, demulcent,
bitter, resolvent, emollient, laxative, sporofic, sedative, diuretic and considered for treating
sores, bronchitis, excessive salivation, vomiting, tooth-ache, boils and inflammations. It has been utilized
for preparing traditional food and acts as a bioindicator for air pollution and radiation. It shows
antibacterial, antioxidant, antimycobacterial and antifungal activities, including haemolytic, anaesthetic,
spasmolytic and antispasmodic and antitumour activities. It also has several unique phytoconstituents
that could be in charge of different therapeutic activities, but the majority of them are still unexplored.
The review mainly focuses on various facets, such as common names, synonyms, traditional
uses, botanical descriptions, and pharmacological activities of seven species of Parmelia.
