Twigs (young and old) from Nothapodytes foetida growing in the Jammu Mahabaleshwar regions India were used for isolation of 52 strains endophytic fungi tested their ability to produce anticancer alkaloid camptothecin. One isolates inner bark tissue N. plant region J&K state, India, was found detectable quantities camptothecin its derivatives when grown a semi-synthetic liquid medium. Camptothecin identified by physicochemical analysis further confirmed spectroscopic studies. No detected...
We have developed an agarose-based biocompatible drug delivery vehicle. The vehicle is in the form of thin, transparent, strong and flexible films. biocompatibility haemocompatibility films confirmed using direct indirect contact biological assay. Contact angle measurement exhibits hydrophilic nature films, protein adsorption test shows low on film surface. Drugs, antibiotics antiseptics, retain their potency after incorporation into Our bioplastic can be a versatile medium for applications,...
Healing in wounds like pressure ulcers, diabetic venous and arterial insufficiency ulcers is immensely hampered causes both an economic burden morbidity to patients. These face a plethora of hostile conditions elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), impaired angiogenesis, senescent fibroblasts, deficient stem cells that significantly diminish the probability self-healing these wounds. Adipose-derived cell therapy (ADSC) presents promising approach achieve efficient healing such cases. To...
The development of high-performance membranes to address the issue vanadium ion crossover in redox flow batteries (VRFB) is a significant area focus. Current commercial perfluorinated suffer from economic impracticality, poor selectivity, and electrolyte leakage. In this report, we present composite membrane called PANI-Si@PP, which exhibits exceptional selectivity for protons over ions due Donnan exclusion by positively charged polyaniline backbone presence well-defined proton conductive...
Agar and oxidized bacterial cellulose based cryogels are promising biomaterials in the field of hemostatic dressing, offering superabsorbent properties, rapid blood clotting, excellent biocompatibility.
An environment-friendly approach towards the preparation of triboelectric generators used as self-powered sensors for wireless security systems.
58S bioactive glass (BG) has effective biocompatibility and bioresorbable properties for bone tissue engineering; however, it limitations regarding antibacterial, antioxidant, mechanical properties. Therefore, we have developed BGAC biocomposites by reinforcing BG with silver ceria nanoparticles, which showed bactericidal forming inhibited zones of 2.13 mm (against Escherichia coli) 1.96 Staphylococcus aureus; evidenced disc diffusion assay) an increment in the antioxidant 39.9%. Moreover,...
Withanolides-steroidal lactones, isolated from various Solanaceous plants have received considerable attention due to their potential biological activities. Five selected withanolides (withanone, withaferin A, withanolide B, E) were identified by HPLC-UV (DAD) - positive ion electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy in Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal cv. WSR and tissues cultured vitro at different developmental phases. Cultures established five explants on Murashige Skoog's medium supplemented...
ABSTRACT In the presented work, a significant increase in tensile strength of PVA composite material is reported. The obtained best value 122 MPa and 14.6% swelling shows excellent synergistic effect both crosslinker reinforcement material. films were prepared by simple mechanical dispersion material, bacterial cellulose nanowhiskers (BCNW) into solution followed crosslinking with diacids, succinic acid (SuA), adipic (AdA). aliphatic carbon chain length on thermal, mechanical, water uptake...
ABSTRACT In this study, crosslinking of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with tartaric acid, as crosslinker, is performed using microwave irradiation. A comparison between the properties PVA crosslinked irradiation and conventional heating methods also discussed. While water absorption, tensile thermal by either are comparable, took only one‐eighth (14 min) time compared to heating. (42 MPa), strength 35% TA increased 145 153 MPa for irradiation, respectively. Water absorption film successively...
