Abstract BACKGROUND: Nanoemulsion composed of neem oil and non‐ionic surfactant Tween 20, with a mean droplet size ranging from 31.03 to 251.43 nm, was formulated for various concentrations the surfactant. The larvicidal effect nanoemulsion checked against Culex quinquefasciatus . RESULTS: O/W emulsion prepared using oil, 20 water. nm obtained at 1:3 ratio surfactant, it found be stable. larger (251.43 nm) shifted smaller increase in concentration 20. viscosity increased increasing lethal...
Recently, the concerns about micro- and nano-plastics (NPs) toxicity have been increasing constantly, however investigations are quiet meager. The present study provides evidences on toxicological prospectives of virgin-, coronated- isolated-NPs human blood cells Allium cepa root tip, respectively. Several plasma proteins displayed strong affinity towards NPs produced multi-layered corona 13 nm to 600 size. coronated-NPs often attracted each other via non-specific protein-protein attraction...
Abstract Filariasis is a mosquito-borne disease that causes lymphedema and the main vector Culex quinquefasciatus . A simple measure was taken to eradicate using nanoemulsion. Eucalyptus oil nanoemulsion formulated in various ratios comprising of eucalyptus oil, tween 80 water by ultrasonication. The stability observed over period time 1:2 (6%) surfactant (12%) found be stable. characterized transmission electron microscopy dynamic light scattering. droplets were have Z -average diameter 9.4...
Cinnamon oil (extracted from Cinnamomum zeylanicum) nanoemulsion was formulated using Tween 80 and water by ultrasonic emulsification. Process of formulation optimized for parameters such as surfactant concentration, oil-surfactant mixing ratio emulsification time. Surfactant concentration found to be inversely related droplet size directly stability. Increase in time resulted decrease diameter. Stable cinnamon (CF3) having diameter 65 nm after sonication 30 min. Formulated evaluated...
The industrial production and commercial applications of titanium dioxide nanoparticles have increased considerably in recent times, which has the probability environmental contamination with these agents their adverse effects on living systems. This study was designed to assess genotoxicity potential TiO2 NPs at high exposure concentrations, its bio-uptake, oxidative stress it generated, a recognised cause genotoxicity. Allium cepa root tips were treated NP dispersions four different...
Silver nanoparticles are known to have bactericidal effects. A new generation of dressings incorporating antimicrobial agents like silver is being formulated reduce or prevent infections. The particles can be incorporated in materials and cloth rendering them sterile. Recently, it was found that aqueous ions reduced by extract plant parts generate extremely stable water. Apart from environmentally friendly process, use Neem leaves might add synergistic antibacterial effect the biosynthesized...
The aim of the present study was to explore difference in toxicity mechanism TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) at low concentrations (≤1 μg mL−1), a freshwater bacterial isolate, Bacillus licheniformis, under light (UV-illuminated) and dark (non-illuminated) conditions. Standard plate count MTT assays showed dose dependent decrease cell viability. reduction viability (20.7%) conditions (21.3%) statistically non-significant 1 mL−1 concentration 2 h interaction period. fluorescence microscopy NP...
