Article Abstract
This study investigates the cytotoxic effects of R. tridentata extracts on prostate cancer cells, providing insight into its potential therapeutic benefits and scientific validation for its traditional use in cancer treatment. The cytotoxicity of R. tridentata extracts was evaluated on prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP and DU 145) using the MTT assay, with doxorubicin as a reference standard. Our findings demonstrated significant concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxic effects of the extracts on both cell lines (p < 0.0024 to p < 0.0002). Notably, the methanol extract exhibited potent cytotoxicity, with IC values ranging from 124.07 to 211 μg/mL (DU145) and 100 to 180 μg/ml (LNCaP) over 24-72 h (p < 0.0024 to p < 0.0001), highlighting its therapeutic potential. This study unveils the promising cytotoxic activity of R. tridentata extracts, particularly methanol extracts, against prostate cancer cells, showcasing their concentration- and time-dependent effects. These findings underscore the potential of plant-derived extracts as therapeutic agents for cancer treatment, warranting further research.

Due to their secondary metabolite content, plant extracts are an alternative method for controlling pathogenic organisms in agriculture and post-harvest operations. and are among the causative agents of diseases and losses in agricultural production. The species is abundant in the arid and semi-arid zones of Mexico and has no defined use; however, it contains secondary metabolites with microbicidal potential that could aid in biological control and enhance its harvest status.

Aim: The aim of the present in vitro study was to synthesize and characterize green silver nanoparticles using Larrea tridentata leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent and combining the nanoparticles with a commercial fluoride varnish (Fluor Protector) to evaluate the antibacterial activity in the production of acid and the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Methods: Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by green synthesis using Larrea tridentata leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent and characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations were determined using microdiluted plates.

The use of medicinal plants represents an alternative method for bacterial control due to their chemical compositions. This study's objective was to determine the inhibitory capacity of extracts against microbial strains of clinical interest. Four extracts were prepared, their phytochemical profiles were determined, and their antioxidant capacities were quantified.
