Glycerolates of biogenic elements are of interest because of their pharmacological activity. Some of them are used as active substances in agents for topical application and as biocompatible precursors in sol-gel synthesis of bioactive materials. In this work, morphostructural feature, ability to hydrolyze, and the pharmacological activity of previously synthesized iron(III) monoglycerate were studied. Analytical techniques, including SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA, IR spectroscopy, DLS and ELS, were used. Hemostatic activity was studied in vivo, and primary toxicological studies were carried out on experimental animals. Antimicrobial activity was studied using the agar diffusion method. When dispersed in glycerol, solid crystalline iron(III) monoglycerolate transforms into an amorphous state, forming aggregates with an average particle size of 250 nm (according to DLS data). It slowly hydrolyzes in water at room temperature, while hydrolysis does not take place in an aqueous glycerol media. Iron(III) monoglycerolate is nontoxic and exhibits pronounced hemostatic activity and low antibacterial activity (relative to the strain S. аureus). Iron(III) monoglycerolate can be considered a potential hemostatic agent, showing promise for topical application in medical and veterinary practice, as well as a novel biocompatible precursor in the sol-gel synthesis of practically useful substances.

Marine algae stand out as repositories of bioactive metabolites, widely harnessed in treating diverse diseases. Given the often-challenging side effects associated with conventional cancer treatments, researchers are increasingly turning their attention to marine algae as a promising source for discovering novel and potent anticancer compounds. In this study, we meticulously explored the potential anticancer activity of Spatoglossum variabile and Gracilaria corticata sourced from the Indian Ocean. Marine algae are rich in bioactive metabolites that are extensively used to treat various diseases. Researchers have considered marine algae for novel and promising anticancer compounds due to the adverse effects of standard cancer treatments The secondary metabolites were extracted using methanol solvent according to the standard protocol. The extract was subjected to GC-MS analysis and evaluated for its short- and long-term cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative ability in the HCT116 cell line using MTT, clonogenic, and trypan blue dye exclusion assays, respectively. The methanolic extract of Spatoglossum variabile contained 21 unique anticancer compounds, except for the other bioactive compounds. The results indicate that increasing the concentration of algal extracts decreased the cell viability significantly, with an IC50 of 51.49 μg/mL and 37.50 μg /mL in the HCT116 cell line. The results showed a significant reduction in colorectal cancer colony formation and a gradual reduction in cell proliferation. These results underscore the potential for targeted, low-toxicity biomedicines due to their selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells. The extract was subjected to GC-MS analysis and evaluated for its short- and long-term cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative ability in HCT116 cell line using MTT, clonogenic, and trypan blue dye exclusion assays, respectively. Our findings show that Spatoglosuum variabile & Gracilaria corticata extracts contain various bioactive compounds, display long-term and short-term cytotoxicity and antiproliferative effects, which indicates that their constituent compounds might be further refined into effective anti-colorectal cancer medications.

Curculigo orchioides Gaertn, a plant belonging to the Hypoxidaceae family, is well-known for its traditional uses of all plant parts. This plant is commonly known as golden eye grass, black musli, Kali musli, or Kali Musali. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is commonly observed in older adults. It is caused by a variety of mechanisms, including neuroinflammation, which results in the loss of dopamine release when triggered and causes motor symptoms. Ethanolic extract was prepared by shade-drying the leaves, making them into a coarse powder, and the extract was prepared by maceration technique with the help of ethanol. GCMS analysis and Haloperidol-induced Parkinsonism study were carried out to evaluate the antiParkinson activity in albino Wistar rats. Ethanolic extract of Curculigo orchioides was subjected to GCMS analysis. The National Institute of Standards and Technology database was used to interpret the mass spectrum of the GC-MS. The screening models were catalepsy, rotarod and a few in vitro models, namely the estimation of catalase acetylcholinesterase levels. The animals were divided into 6 groups, namely control, disease, standard (levodopa), low dose (100 mg/kg p.o.), medium dose (200 mg/kg p.o.), high dose (400 mg/kg p.o.) groups having 6 animals each were used for rotarod and catalepsy models for 14 days The results obtained showed a dose-dependent increase in the anti-Parkinson activity. The evaluation of neuromuscular movements of the ethanolic leaf extract of Curculigo orchioides showed that the pre-treatment with different ranges of dose (100 mg/ml, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg) suggested a dose-dependent significant increase in fall-off time when compared with both standard and disease groups GCMS analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, Vitamin and fatty acid esters. The anti-Parkinson activity of Flavonoids has been reported previously. Hence, the activity may be attributed to kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide.

This investigation aims to explore the potential anti-Candida albicans effects of Chitosan nanocomposites. Researchers searched several databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Ovid, for articles published between 2000 and 2023 using specific keywords. Of the 5,600 studies that were first searched in the databases, after removing duplicates (700 cases) and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 43 studies were selected for evaluation after duplicate removal. According to studies, the anti-Candida albicans properties of chitosan nanocomposites are more than routine antifungals such as nystatin; therefore, it can be concluded that Chitosan nanocomposites can be used to deal with Candida albicans.

Many quinone derivatives as of now utilized for anticancer medications. Especially, 1,4-naphthoquinones are dynamic derivatives, and it was broadly utilized in unrefined substances in the drugs and agrochemicals industry. In this work, we planned and combined five different moieties into 2, 3 disubstituted naphthalene-1,4-dione molecules. Various spectral studies distinguished the synthetic designs of the produced compounds. The naphthoquinone derivatives were exposed to the primary molecular descriptor by Molinspiration programming, and all the descriptor values are within the specified value. In this work, we planned and combined five different moieties into 2, 3 disubstituted naphthalene-1,4-dione molecules. Various spectral studies distinguished the synthetic designs of the produced compounds. The naphthoquinone derivatives were exposed to the primary molecular descriptor by Molinspiration programming, and all the descriptor values are within the specified value. Each of the five naphthoquinone derivatives was docked against the Topoisomerase II utilizing Auto Dock program 4.2.5. (PDB: 3L4K). The docking tells us that the studied compounds possess significant to moderate inhibition toward the targeted enzymes. Among the studied compounds, compound L3 showed the most elevated binding score (-10.66 kcal/mol with one H-bond) than the adriamycin (-9.58 kcal/mol with two H-bonds) and compound L2 (- 9.86 kcal/mol with two H-bonds). The derivatives were tried for in-vitro cytotoxicity studies against MCF - 7 by the SRB method. Among them, compounds L2 (28.42±3.1 μg/mL) and L3 (29.38±3.2 μg/mL) were the most significant ones when contrasted with the control Adriamycin (15.28±3.4 μg/mL). The current research indicates that the tested compounds show anticancer action against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Thus, the study is an attempt to advance toward the identification of innovative anticancer drugs.

This study aimed to evaluate the use of Brassica rapa seeds in poultry feed as an antioxidant and immunostimulant of host defenses. We prepared three extracts using ethanol, Ethyl Acetate, and water. Spectrophotometric methods determined the total phenolic and flavonoid content in the three extracts. Antioxidant activity was assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radicals and β-Carotene bleaching methods. An assessment of their immunostimulant activities in vitro was performed on chicken immunity cell proliferation (splenocytes, thymocytes, and Bursa cells) and IgY production. We prepared three different extracts using ethanol, Ethyl Acetate, and water. The total phenolic and flavonoid content in the three extracts was determined by spectrophotometric methods.Antioxidant activity has been assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radicals and β-Carotene bleaching methods. Assessment of their immunostimulant activities in vitro was tested on chicken immunity cell proliferation (splenocytes, thymocytes, and Bursa cells) and IgY production The total phenolic contents ranged from 462.5 to 794.8 mg /g of extract, the order of TPC was as follows: EtOAc > EtOH >Water. Flavonoid contents were, 63.7 mg in EtOH extract, 81.2 mg in EtOAc extract, and 108.7 mg/g Extract in aqueous extract. By DPPH, the IC50s of EtOH, EtOAc, and water, were 1.8μg/ml, 2.4μg/ml, and 1.5μg/ml, respectively. Using the Ferric- Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), we remarked that the EtOH and EtOAc extracts have important antioxidant powers. The ABTS assay indicated that EtOH and water had the highest activities with IC50s of 0.19 and 0.07, respectively. Finally, by the β-carotene bleaching test, we observed that the IC50 of the EtOH, EtOAc, and water were 62.1 μg/mL; 72.7 μg/mL, and 45.8 μg/mL, respectively. The results obtained indicate that Brassica aqueous extract stimulates humoral immunity by stimulating splenocyte (B and T-lymphocytes) and Bursa cell (B-lymphocyte) proliferation by more than 200% of response vs control. In addition, the aqueous extract highly stimulated the function of bursa cells by 208% of the reaction. In the same conditions, we recorded a stimulation of cellular immunity mediated by thymocytes by an increase in cell proliferation (352.7% of response) implicated in virus protection. These extracts also possessed an antimicrobial effect against diverse microorganisms such as coliforms and Staphylococcus. The FT-IR spectrum indicated that the hydroxyl group (phenol), hydroxybenzoic acid family, carbohydrate molecules such as glucopyranose, a carbonyl ester group, hydrocar

Periodontal disease and dental caries are two oral illnesses that are significantly influenced by microorganisms, hence the usefulness of finding natural substances to inhibit them. This study aimed to assess the Eucalyptus globulus Labill. leaf and fruit essential oils effect against Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Candida albicans to study their anticariogenic and antiperiodonto pathogenic activities. these activities were evaluated according to the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), anti-biofilm effects, and the impact on the adhesion to hydroxyapatite, a main component of the tooth. both leaf and fruit essential oils showed strong antibacterial activity against anaerobic bacteria: F. nucleatum (MIC of 0.012 %) and P. gingivalis (MIC of 0.025 %). Anticarcinogenic activity also showed MIC values of 0.06 % against S. mutans and, 0.5 % against S. sobrinus, and appropriate antifungal activity against C. albicans. It is interesting to note that both oils showed a significant inhibitory property to biofilm formation by the different studied species and significantly reduced the adhesion capacity of S. mutans and S. sobrinus to the hydroxyapatite surface at very low concentrations of 0.12 and 0.5 % for S. mutans and S. sobrinus, respectively. These results highlight the strong potential of E. globulus essential oils as antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents, as well as their ability to inhibit bacterial adhesion, which is promising for the prevention of dental caries and plaque. This implies that E. globulus may be a new alternative source of substances of medicinal interest that can be used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce antimicrobial agents against dental caries and oral infectious diseases
牙周病和龋齿是两种受微生物严重影响的口腔疾病，因此寻找天然物质来抑制它们非常有用。本研究旨在评估球叶桉树精油和果实精油对变异链球菌、苏布雷链球菌、放线菌、牙龈卟啉单胞菌、核酸化脓杆菌和白色念珠菌的抗龋齿和抗牙周病致病活性。这些活性是通过测定最低抑菌浓度（MIC）和最低杀菌浓度（MBC）、抗生物膜效应以及对牙齿主要成分羟基磷灰石粘附性的影响来评估的：叶片和果实精油对厌氧菌有很强的抗菌活性：核酸酵母菌（MIC 为 0.012 %）和牙龈球菌（MIC 为 0.025 %）。抗癌活性还显示，对突变酵母菌的 MIC 值为 0.06 %，对索氏酵母菌的 MIC 值为 0.5 %，对白癣菌也有适当的抗真菌活性。值得注意的是，这两种精油对所研究的不同物种形成生物膜都有显著的抑制作用，而且在 0.12% 和 0.5% 的极低浓度下，就能显著降低变异杆菌和索布林杆菌对羟基磷灰石表面的粘附能力。这些结果凸显了球果香精油作为抗菌剂和抗生物膜剂的强大潜力，以及其抑制细菌粘附的能力，这对于预防龋齿和牙菌斑很有前景。这意味着球果香精油可能是一种新的药用物质替代来源，可用于制药业生产抗龋齿和口腔传染病的抗菌剂。

The study addresses the underexplored realm of cytotoxicity evaluation involving binary mixtures of Passiflora caerulea leaf extracts and Titanium nanoparticles (TiO2NPs). The focus lies on understanding the combined effects of these components on cancer cells (A549, U937, and HeLa). In vitro cytotoxicity assessments were employed to evaluate the toxicity of P. caerulea leaf extracts, TiO2NPs, and their combination. The study utilized MTT, NRU, and LDH assays to measure cellular viability. Additionally, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione levels were assessed alongside the aforementioned assays. The toxicity percentage exhibited dose-dependent behavior for P. caerulea leaf extracts, TiO2NPs, and their combination. Interestingly, when P. caerulea leaf extract and TiO2NPs were combined, the reduction in cell viability was noticeably more than when the exposures were made separately. Moreover, the production of ROS was higher in the combined toxicity scenario, and a more pronounced decrease in glutathione levels was observed compared to individual exposures. The findings suggest that the combined effects of P. caerulea leaf extract and TiO2NPs induce greater cytotoxicity compared to their impacts. This underscores the potential for synergistic cytotoxicity in combined exposure scenarios, warranting further exploration of combined effects in future studies.
该研究涉及西番莲叶提取物和钛纳米粒子（TiO2NPs）二元混合物的细胞毒性评估这一尚未充分开发的领域。研究重点在于了解这些成分对癌症细胞（A549、U937 和 HeLa）的综合影响。体外细胞毒性评估用于评价西番莲叶提取物、TiO2NPs 及其组合的毒性。该研究利用 MTT、NRU 和 LDH 检测法测量细胞活力。对于 P. caerulea 叶提取物、TiO2NPs 和它们的组合，毒性百分比表现出剂量依赖性。有趣的是，当 P. caerulea 叶提取物和 TiO2NPs 混合使用时，细胞活力的降低幅度明显高于单独使用时。此外，与单独接触相比，在联合毒性情况下产生的 ROS 更高，谷胱甘肽水平的下降也更明显。这强调了在联合暴露情况下产生协同细胞毒性的可能性，值得在今后的研究中进一步探讨联合效应。
