For the first time in the literature, the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory potentials of AgNPs obtained using leaves of &lt;em&gt;Marrubium vulgare&lt;/em&gt; are investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Methods and results:&lt;/strong&gt; The optimal conditions for biosynthesis were 80 °C reaction temperature, 60 min incubation time, 2 mM AgNO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;, and 100 μL extract volume. The FTIR results indicated that the distinct functional groups found in M. vulgare extract were also present in AgNPs, confirming their critical role in silver bioreduction and AgNP capping. The biosynthesized AgNPs were crystalline, with face-centered cubic geometry, according to XRD analysis. DLS analysis asserted that the constructed AgNP's average size was 34.58 nm, whereas SEM/TEM revealed their spherical morphology. The AgNPs produced through biosynthesis inhibited microbial proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. They exhibited bactericidal attributes against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC values ranging from 0.041 to 5.312 μg/mL and MBCs from 0.083 to 5.312 μg/mL. Furthermore, the AgNPs exhibited fungicidal activity against three &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans &lt;/em&gt;strains, with MIC and MFC respective values recorded at 2.656 and 2.656-5.312 μg/mL. Additionally, the biosynthesized AgNPs demonstrated significant antioxidant potency compared to ascorbic acid and the extract. Their potent in vitro anti-inflammatory effect, attributed to the inhibition of BSA denaturation, was directly proportional to the AgNP concentration, with a maximum inhibition of 86.14% observed at 200 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Therefore, the findings suggest that AgNPs have promising applications in combating the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and might be utilized as potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.&lt;/p&gt;

Objective: This study, therefore, utilized a flavonoid glycoside, Myricitrin (MY), isolated from &lt;em&gt;Eugenia uniflora &lt;/em&gt;as a biogenic substance for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and evaluated the antioxidant, anti-hyperglycaemic, and anti-inflammatory potentials. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Flavonoid glycoside was isolated from the leaf of &lt;em&gt;E. uniflora&lt;/em&gt; following standard phytochemical techniques for extraction, solvent-partitioning, column chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography. The phytocompound was characterized by NMR and HRESI-MS methods. Zinc oxide NPs were green synthesized using the isolated flavonoid glycoside. The biogenic ZnONPs were characterized using UV-Vis, FESEM, EDX, and XRD techniques. The biological potential of the MY-ZnONPs was based on in vitro analysis. Nitric oxide (NO), H2O2, OH, and O2 - antioxidant methods were used. The anti-hyperglycaemic effect was based on α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition, while the egg albumin denaturation (EAD) method was used to determine the antiinflammatory effect. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Flavonoid glycoside was isolated and characterized as myricitrin from &lt;em&gt;E. uniflora&lt;/em&gt;. The MY-ZnONPs were green synthesized as a greyish powder. The UV-Vis absorption peaks at 387 and 415 nm match the characteristic peaks for ZnONPs. The FESEM revealed petal-, irregular-, and spindle-shaped NPs of 30-80 nm size, which tend to agglomerate in clusters and bundles. The EDX analysis showed the elemental weight percentage of Zn and O to be 79.83% and 18.51%, respectively, indicating the successful formation of ZnO nanoparticles. The X-ray diffractogram showed the crystallinity of the NPs at 29.23⁰, 36.25⁰, 51.50⁰, 63.67⁰, 72.06⁰, and 78.90⁰. At 100 μg/mL, the NPs demonstrated a comparable 68% inhibition of O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; - to Quercetin, the standard antioxidant. They inhibited EAD in a dose-de pendent manner, having ≥75% inhibition at 200 μg/mL. Finally, they exhibited notable anti-hyperglycaemic properties against α-amylase and α-glucosidase with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 89.24±0.63 and 105.95±0.05 μg/mL, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study has shown MY-ZnONPs as a flavonoid glycoside-based metal oxide nanoparticle with notable antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities.&lt;/p&gt;

Characterization was based on field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The anticancer potential of EU-ZnONPs was based on MTT-based cytotoxicity (CC50) against human cancerous (HepG2 and ACHN) cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The FESEM revealed spherical-to-cubical shaped EU-ZnONPs with 40 and 80 nm average size ranges. Further microscopic evaluation by HRTEM showed that the bulk of the nanoparticles (NPs) are spherical, ranging from 5–30 nm in size. The UV-Vis absorption peak at 387 nm agreed with the characteristic 300-400 nm peak range of biogenic ZnONPs. The presence of Zn and O at elemental weight percentages of 73.55 and 23.05% confirmed the successful green synthesis of the Eu-ZnONPs. At 48 h post-treatment, the cytotoxicity against HepG2 and ACHN cancer cell lines was concentration-dependent, with CC50 values of 54.21 ± 0.06 μg/mL and 33.36 ± 2.25 μg/mL, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study has shown that EUZnONPs possess notable cytotoxicity against HepG2 and ACHN cancer cells, thus suggesting E. uniflora extract-based ZnONPs as a promising anticancer bioresource.&lt;/p&gt;

Plant based formulations have been proved to be most reliable agents in recent times. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;In the current study, bio fabricated herbal silver nanoparticles (HSNPs) were prepared by reducing silver nitrate (AgNO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;) solution with ethyl acetate fractions (EAF) of &lt;em&gt;Blumea lacera &lt;/em&gt;extracts. These bios conjugated HSNPs were then assessed for potential anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities along with&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant effect. &lt;strong&gt;Methods and Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The synthesis was confirmed by absorbance peak at 441 nm due to surface plasmon resonance in UV-visible spectrophotometer. FTIR spectra of HSNPs indicated the phytochemicals having C-O bond responsible for reducing of Ag&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; to Ag&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;. Average size of HSNPs was found to be 59.21 nm which was in good agreement with TEM and SEM results. EDS analysis showed the existence of Silver, Nitrogen and Carbon in HSNPs. The antibacterial activity of HSNPs in terms of zone of inhibition (ZOI) &lt;em&gt;via&lt;/em&gt; disc diffusion assay and against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli &lt;/em&gt;was found to be 25.0±1.19 mm and 18.3±2.08 mm, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of HSNPs was found to be 50 μg/ml and 60 μg/ml against S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. The antioxidant capacity of the HSNPs was insignificant as compared to EAF but the results of anti-inflammatory activity was significant (p&amp;lt;0.05).&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The overall result demonstrated better &lt;em&gt;in-vitro&lt;/em&gt; pharmacological potential of HSNPs compared to neat extract/EAF.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are explored because of it’s unique characteristics and various known therapeutic benefits such as antioxidants activities and reducing risk of cancer. In this study, arrow root which is a starch obtained from tapioca or cassava is mediated with SeNPs and studied for it’s anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic effect. The plant extract of arrow root was prepared and mixed with the sodium selenite solution. The solution is kept in a magnetic stirrer while being observed for any colour change. The synthesis of nanoparticles is observed using UV-vis spectrophotometry. Then the anti-inflammatory activity is observed using albumin denaturation assay and cytotoxic analysis conducted on brine shrimp nauplii. The results showed that there was a lower toxicity rate of SeNPs and significant anti-inflammatory activity which concludes that these nanoparticles can be used in various drug designing aspects in future.&lt;/p&gt;
