Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent, fatal, and non‐contagious diseases. Therefore, researchers are making attempts to develop novel anti‐diabetic drugs using various organic compounds biomolecules. The idea nano‐materials as agents seems interesting. current study aims Kickxia elatine (KE) extract‐based nano‐silver (KE‐AgNPs) evaluate their in vivo potency female Sprague Dawley rats. KE‐AgNPs were characterized UV spectroscopy, X‐ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Electron Diffraction Spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) techniques. crystalline nature with a size 42.47 nm confirmed by XRD screening. Spherical‐shaped mono‐dispersed mean 50 validated SEM examination. different phyto‐compounds (tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, saponins, phenols, carbohydrates, quinones, sterols, fats, oils) that contribute stabilization reduction FTIR analysis. EDX showed strong peak (3.2 keV) identified Ag main component 61.67% contribution. use Alloxan induce diabetes resulted elevated levels blood sugar, HbA1c, liver, lipid profile, well drastic body weight, organ Hemoglobin. These modifications switched following 21 days treatment diabetic rats, dosage range 150–450 mg kg −1 BW KE extract demonstrated significant inhibition compared untreated group. phytochemical analysis plant was also assessed examine involved potential KE‐AgNPs. findings suggested that, comparison extract, have promising action.

In the scenario of fighting bacterial resistance to antibiotics, natural products have been extensively investigated for their potential antibacterial activities. Among these, cannabinoids—bioactive compounds derived from cannabis—have garnered attention diverse biological activities, including anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. Emerging evidence suggests that cannabinoids may also possess significant antimicrobial properties, with applications in enhancing efficacy conventional agents. Therefore, this review examines past five years on properties cannabinoids, focusing underlying mechanisms such as microbial membrane disruption, immune response modulation, interference virulence factors. addition, synergistic potential, when used alongside standard therapies, underscores promise a novel strategy address drug resistance, although further research clinical trials are needed validate therapeutic use. Overall, offer promising avenue development innovative treatments combat drug-resistant infections reduce reliance traditional

This study is primarily focused on the synthesis of silver and copper oxide nanoparticles utilizing extract Ipomoea staphylina plant their larvicidal activity against specific larvae. Notably, Anopheles stephensi Aedes aegypti are significant disease vectors responsible for transmitting diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, chikungunya (Anopheles stephensi), (Aedes aegypti). These mosquitoes have a substantial impact urban areas, influencing transmission dynamics. In an effort to control these larvae, we pursued herbal-based nanomedicine derived from I. staphylina, valuable herb in traditional medicine. Our successful CuO followed environmentally sustainable green chemistry methodologies. The played dual role reducing agent dopant, aligning with principles sustainability. We employed X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis validate nanoparticle structure size, while field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed well-defined nanostructures. Elemental composition was determined through energy-dispersive (EDX) analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy provided insights into bandgap energy (3.15 eV silver, 1.2 nanoparticles). exhibited robust activity, surpassing terms LC
