Exogenous nanoselenium alleviates imidacloprid-induced oxidative stress toxicity by improving phenylpropanoid metabolism and antioxidant defense system in Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt.

Pesticides reduce important metabolites in Perilla frutescens, but the application of nano selenium can increase them, improving the plant's quality. NSe can also alleviate oxidative stress caused by pesticides and enhance overall plant quality.

Green synthesis of Piper nigrum copper-based nanoparticles: in silico study and ADMET analysis to assess their antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic effects.

This study used plants to create copper nanoparticles with antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic properties. The nanoparticles showed potential for scavenging free radicals, inhibiting bacteria, and being toxic to breast cancer cells. Certain components of the plant extract exhibited promising properties as inhibitors of selected proteins.
