Assessing anticancer, antidiabetic, and antioxidant capacities in green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles and solvent-based plant extracts.

Researchers studied the potential of gum arabic tree-based zinc-oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) for cancer, diabetes, and oxidative stress. ZnO-NPs showed promising results for inhibiting cancer cell growth and antioxidant activity, suggesting potential pharmacological applications. Further research on safety and pathways is needed.

The peels of sacred Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) rhizomes suppress allergic reactions by inhibiting the A23187-induced degranulation in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL2H3) cells.

Researchers isolated ten compounds from sacred lotus rhizome peels and found three, stigmasterol glucoside, oleanolic acid, and pinoresinol, effectively inhibited allergic reactions without harming cells. The findings suggest potential use for affordable anti-allergic treatments.
