SPR band at 410 nm, as well functional groups...
Taking into consideration the advantages of green synthesis nanoparticles, present study focuses on formation, characterization and evaluation some biological activities silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained using bee propolis extract.The total phenolic flavonoid contents were evaluated.The formation AgNPs was primarily confirmed by change in colour appearance UV-Vis spectrum characteristic surface plasmon resonance band.Several compounds that can participate reduction process identified...
Zinnia elegans (syn. violacea) is a common ornamental plant of the Asteraceae family, widely cultivated for impressive range flower colors and persistent bloom. Given its uncomplicated cultivation high adaptability to harsh landscape conditions, we investigated potential use Z. as source valuable secondary metabolites. Preliminary classification compounds found in methanolic extract obtained from inflorescences cv. Caroussel was accomplished using HR LC-MS techniques. The then subjected...
Nanotechnology is one of the most studied domains, and nanoparticle synthesis, especially silver nanoparticles, has gained special importance due to their properties, biocompatibility applications. Today, processes nanoparticles synthesis tend toward development inexpensive, simple, non-toxic environmentally friendly methods. Thus, use plants in attracted considerable interest because biomolecules can act as both reducing stabilizing agents. This survey aims at discussing conditions for...
Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta L.), a flowering plant with various traditional medicinal uses, has recently garnered interest for its therapeutic properties. However, little is known about the potential activities of species. The current study focused on conducting comprehensive investigation into chemical composition and bioactivity black-eyed cultivated in Romania. Untargeted metabolite profiling UHPLC-HR-MS phytochemical analysis studied extract revealed presence more than 250...
Artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone from Artemisia annua L., has received considerable attention in the last few decades as potent antimalarial drug. Artemisinin rather low toxicity; it is effective against drug-resistant Plasmodium species and cerebral malaria. This study reports development of rapid sensitive assay for quantification artemisinin A. by reversed phase HPLC/MS. In selected optimal experimental conditions, exhibited well-defined chromatographic peak with retention time 2 ±...
Inclusion complexes with sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin sulphated sodium salt and monochlorotriazinyl-β-cyclodextrin were characterized assessed for antifungal activity cytotoxicity.
The sterile stems belonging to the Equisetum species are often used in traditional medicine of various nations, including Romanians. They highly efficient treating urinary tract infections, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory and medical skin conditions due their content polyphenolic derivatives that have been isolated. In this regard, study aimed provide chemical composition extracts obtained from (E. pratense, E. sylvaticum, telmateia) investigate biological action vitro vivo. For...
The present study reports an eco-friendly synthesis method of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using two different extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) Tagetes erecta flowers. When exposed to biocompounds found in the plant, ions are reduced, thus, resulting green nanoparticles. After performing optimization synthesis, obtained AgNPs were characterized various techniques.
