Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has gained great interest as a simple and eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical methods. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized by using extracts of marine algae Ecklonia cava as reducing and capping agents. The formation of AgNPs using aqueous extract of Ecklonia cava was confirmed visually by color change and their surface plasmon res...

introduction: various methods commonly used for cleaning and shaping root canals have not been successful in completely eradicating bacteria due to anatomic complexity and root canals irregularities. disinfecting the canals with intracanal irrigants in addition to proper cleaning and shaping can produce a successful outcome. antimicrobials with sustained antibacterial activity would be desirabl...

Nanoparticles are being widely used in the field of medicine called Nanomedicine. Biological membranes human body selectively permeable to Nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can be surface modified attach a variety ligands which enable them biosensors, molecular-scale fluorescent tags, imaging agents, and targeted drug delivery vehicles. Green synthesis is type bottom-up approach reaction occurs ...

The increasing occurrence of hospital-acquired infections and the emerging problems posed by antibiotic-resistant microbial strains have both contributed to the escalating cost of treatment. The presence of infection at the wound site can potentially stall the healing process at the inflammatory stage, leading to the development of a chronic wound. Traditional wound treatment regimes can no lon...

In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of Usnea intermedia, U. filipendula, and U. fulvoreagens and their stictic and usnic acid contents were investigated. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents were evaluated in acetone, ethanol, and methanol extracts of these three species. Antioxidant activity was measured by ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic...

Garden rose, Rosa hybrida, is primarily used for decoration and has a wide range of growing area, contrary to R. damascena that limited area distribution (Turkey Bulgaria), yet it extensively commercial production valuable expensive rose oil. Since the content essential oil in petals low (0.03–0.04%), its quite limited; however, during this process, significant amount hydrosol obtained as secon...

Centella asiatica is well known for its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, analgesic, diuretic properties. Its hexane and methanol extracts were screened the presence of phytoconstituents as their antibacterial antioxidant activity. The phytochemical screening showed carbohydrate, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic compound, alkaloids, saponin. extract more effective activ...

Metal complexes play an essential role in pharmaceutical sciences for their multiple and important activities. Schiff bases are versatile pharmacophores able to form chelating with several metals different oxidation states. Complexes widely described the literature actions numerous advantages, such as low cost easy synthesis. They show biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS; superoxide, peroxide, and hydroxyl radical) are thought to contribute to the rapid bactericidal activity of diverse antimicrobial agents. The possibility has been raised that consumption of antioxidants in food may interfere with the lethal action of antimicrobials. Whether nutritional supplements containing antioxidant activity are also likely to interfere with an...
