Chemical modification of small molecule hydrophobic drugs is a clinically proven strategy to devise prodrugs with enhanced treatment efficacy.While this prodrug improves the parent drug's water solubility and pharmacokinetic profile, it typically compromises potency against cancer cells due retarded drug release rate reduced cellular uptake efficiency.Here we report on supramolecular design self-assembling (SAPD) much improved while maintaining high cells.We found that camptothecin (CPT)...

Antibacterial coating is necessary to prevent biofilm-forming bacteria from colonising medical tools causing infection and sepsis in patients. The recent strategies such as immobilisation of antimicrobial materials low-pressure plasma polymerisation may require multiple processing steps involving a high-vacuum system time-consuming process. Some those have limited efficacy durability. Here, we report rapid one-step atmospheric pressure (APPP) D-limonene produce nano-thin films with...

The degradation of organic dye pollutants is a critical environmental issue that has garnered significant attention in recent years. To address this problem, we investigated the potential CaCrO4 chromite (CCO) as photocatalyst for cationic and anionic solutions under sunlight irradiation. was synthesized via sol-gel auto-combustion route sintered at 900 °C. Rietveld refined XRD profile confirmed zircon-type structure crystallized tetragonal unit cell with I41/amd space group symmetry....

Tissue engineering products have grown in popularity as a therapeutic approach for chronic wounds and burns. However, some drawbacks include additional steps lack of antibacterial capacities, both which need to be addressed treat effectively. This study aimed develop an acellular, ready-to-use ovine tendon collagen type I (OTC-I) bioscaffold with coating the immediate treatment skin prevent infection post-implantation. Two types crosslinkers, 0.1% genipin (GNP) dehydrothermal (DHT), were...

In general, seed germination is improved by low-pressure plasma (LPP) treatment using precursors such as air, nitrogen, argon, or water (H2O). Here, H2O-based LPP the optimized parameters of 10 W and s improves Bambara groundnut seeds 22%. increases wettability roughness hilum while oxidizing surface with carboxyl amine groups. this seeds, combinatory etching chemical modification facilitated imbibition process increased percentage. The success method has potential to be scaled up solve food...

The production of suitable coatings with excellent antibacterial performance has now become a viable technique for enhancing the functional qualities various biomedical materials. Here, pulsed plasma polymerisation was used to produce an coating from carvone oil spearmint plant. films have adjustable chemical and physical properties based on deposition parameter – that is, duty cycle (DC). static water contact angle (WCA) values wave (PW) plasma-polymerised (ppCar) increase in DC. Fourier...

Non-magnetic dopants and p-type materials are attractive choices to explore the mechanism origin of room-temperature defect-based ferromagnetism in metal oxide-based DMSs. In this study, we performed comprehensive transport, magnetic, structural, optical, compositional as well DFT studies pristine, Li-doped, Bi-Li codoped vertically aligned ZnO NW films ferromagnetism. We used a simple solution process synthesize wurtzite structure NWs on Si substrate. The doping, high crystallinity,...

Medical devices are often vulnerable to colonization by nosocomial pathogens (bacteria), leading infections. Traditional sterilization methods may not always be effective, and as a result, alternative options being explored prevent microbial contamination. Recently, scientists emphasizing using plant-derived essential oils that possess inherent antibacterial properties produce antimicrobial coatings plasma polymerization technology carried out at atmospheric pressure (AP). This approach...
