In Vitro Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Seaweeds From the Bay of Bengal Coastal Region in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced RAW264.7 Cells.

Seaweeds are marine macroalgae that are rich in various secondary metabolites known to exhibit different biological activities such as anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, etc. This study aimed to determine the bioactive metabolites, as well as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of two red algae (Ceramium virgatum and Gracilaria corticata) and two green algae (Enteromorpha flexuosa and Ulva fasciata), which are prevalent in the coastal region of the Bay of Bengal. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride methods.

A comprehensive review on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from marine sources.

The primary purpose of this review is to explore the green synthesis of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) using natural biomolecules derived from marine sources. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of environmentally friendly approaches for synthesizing AgNPs and to examine their potential applications across various fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and environmental remediation. The key research question focuses on understanding how marine biomolecules, including polysaccharides, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, alkaloids, and vitamins, contribute to the formation of AgNPs and how these green-synthesized nanoparticles retain their functional properties.

Onco-therapeutic Effect of Novel Triterpenoid Compound Oleanolic Acid Isolated and Characterized from the Methanolic Extract of Coldenia procumbens (Linn.).

India is considered a hub for a wide range of phytochemicals due to its rich biodiversity, which indeed flourished with many folk medicines and treatments. Phytochemicals are secondary metabolites synthesized in plants to protect themselves from deteriorating environmental stress and defense against pathogens. In the present study, we aimed to explore the strong anticancer potential of the bioactive compound present in the leaf extract of Coldenia procumbens (L.

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using aqueous extract of shilajit and their anticancer activity against HeLa cells.

In the present study, ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized using an aqueous extract of shilajit. The nanoparticles were characterized using different techniques such as UV (ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), XRD (X-ray diffraction), particle size analysis, SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDAX (Energy-dispersive X-ray) analysis. The UV absorption peak at 422.
