Eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aegle marmelos leaf extract and their antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer and photocatalytic degradation activity.

Summary

In this research, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using leaf extract as the reducing and capping agent. The formation of Ag NPs was confirmed by UV-vis spectrophotometry, and the nanoparticles had a spherical morphology with a size range of ∼30-50 nm. The synthesized Ag NPs exhibited potential anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity, showing cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the Ag NPs acted as an excellent photocatalyst, degrading environmentally polluted Basic Fuchsin dye in just 18 minutes. This research demonstrates the potential applications of green-synthesized Ag NPs in various fields.

Aegle marvels (L.) Correa Leaf Essential Oil and Its Phytoconstituents as an Anticancer and Anti-Streptococcus mutans Agent.

Summary

Indian Bael leaves have been traditionally used for treating oral infections due to their anti-cancerous and antibacterial properties. A study explored the essential oil of these leaves and found that it contains the compound limonene, which showed significant anticancer activity against human oral epidermal carcinoma cells. The oil also exhibited antioxidant properties, inhibiting free radicals. Additionally, it showed anti-cariogenic effects, inhibiting the growth of bacteria associated with oral health issues. These findings suggest that Indian Bael leaves could be a valuable natural therapeutic agent for managing oral cancer and infections.

Antidepressive-Like Effect of Aegle marmelos Leaf Extract in Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress-Induced Depression-Like Behaviour in Rats.

Summary

Researchers tested an herbal medication, standardized hydroethanolic extract of Citrus aurantium leaves, for its ability to treat depression in male rats experiencing chronic stress. The extract has been shown to have several beneficial effects on the central nervous system. The study aimed to understand the antidepressant activity of the extract, as few effective antidepressant medications without side effects exist. This study found that the extract was effective in improving depressive symptoms in rats under chronic stress. This suggests that the extract may be a promising candidate for further study as a potential antidepressant medication.

Molecular dynamics and docking studies on potentially active natural phytochemicals for targeting SARS-CoV-2 main protease.

Summary

Researchers discovered that three compounds, Aegelinosides B, Epicatechin, and Feruloyltyramine, from popular herbs are potential candidates for fighting SARS-CoV-2. These compounds were screened from 87 phytochemicals and identified based on their binding energy and structural stability through molecular dynamics analysis. Comparing to popular reference compounds, Aegelinosides B demonstrated the best result. Further drug-likeness and toxicity tests also support the effectiveness of these compounds. These findings may have implications for developing treatments against COVID-19.
