In this research, a tungsten oxide was prepared via green (biogenic) synthesis route where sodium tungstate dihydrate and Punica granatum peel extract were used as precursor reducing/capping agent, respectively. The characterization of the performed through various spectroscopic microscopic techniques. results revealed preparation highly crystalline nanorod-shaped (length = 123 nm width 31.3 nm) with probable chemical formula W5O14. Various functional groups on W5O14 surface also reported. nanorods further for removal Bismarck Brown R (BBR) dye from water in batch manner. By varying dose (0.5–3.0 g L−1), BBR solution pH (2−10), contact time (15–120 min), concentration (10–60 mg temperature (30, 40, 50 °C), optimized condition maximum adsorption efficiency measured. that 2.0 L−1 amount to remove ~98% its 10 at 30 °C 7.0 pH. temperature-dependent data fitted different types non-linear isotherm models (e.g., Langmuir Freundlich) assess potential mechanisms relation impacts. synthesized nano-adsorbent fits well Freundlich model capacity 17.84 g−1.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) belongs to the Punicaceae family and is native Central Asia; yet, it has a wide geographical distribution globally, reflecting its adaptation different climatic conditions. among oldest most significant cultivated crops, thriving extensively in tropical subtropical climates. Besides nutritional uses, pomegranate been employed traditional medicine for treating various diseases, including cancer prevention, antimicrobial activity, male infertility, ulcers, diarrhea. The Bidah cultivar known unique sweet taste high productivity yield. However, there limited knowledge about composition medicinal value. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate functional potential of terms phytochemicals, antioxidant capacity, antibacterial, anticancer activity. Different analytical techniques were used investigate chemical properties pomegranate. Moreover, biological activity shoot callus was assessed against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), colorectal cell line (CaCo-2). Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis extracts revealed 17 18 phytochemical compounds, respectively. Phenolic quantification showed that materials contained amounts phenolic content. Additionally, possesses with low half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) Furthermore, extract promising results human pathogenic bacteria S. especially findings support use folk highlight further exploration as source therapeutic agents.

ABSTRACT Angiogenesis plays a critical role in both tumor progression and wound healing. This systematic review investigates the effect of pomegranate ( Punica granatum , PG) extracts as anti‐ pro‐angiogenic agents preclinical models cancer chronic healing (CWH), respectively. Following PRISMA guidelines, 14 studies (10 cancer, 4 CWH) were identified from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar databases. In models, PG (juice, peel extract, seed oil) reduced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, tube formation across multiple types, with concomitant decrease matrix metalloproteinases inflammatory mediators. Conversely, CWH topical extract applications enhanced VEGF expression closure diabetic burn injuries. dual angiogenic appears mechanistically linked to peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor signaling pathways synergistic interactions among polyphenols, particularly ellagitannins. Assessment study quality revealed generally low risk bias vitro studies, while animal demonstrated variable methodological rigor. Despite promising evidence, standardization extraction methods, exploration molecular mechanisms, translation clinical investigations remain research priorities. comprehensive analysis validates therapeutic strategy for inhibiting pathological angiogenesis promoting beneficial CWH.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has long been recognised for its rich antioxidant profile and potential health benefits. Recent research expanded therapeutic to include antiangiogenic properties, which are crucial inhibiting the growth of tumours other pathological conditions involving aberrant blood vessel formation. This review consolidates current findings on effects pomegranate extracts. We explore impact polyphenols, including ellagic acid, punicalagin, anthocyanins, punicic acid bioactive polysaccharides key angiogenesis-related pathways endothelial cell function. Emphasis is placed these extracts as phytocomplexes rather than isolated compounds. Additionally, we discuss use by-products, such peels seeds, in preparation within a green chemistry circular economy framework, highlighting their value enhancing extract efficacy sustainability. By primarily reviewing vitro vivo preclinical studies, assess how modulate angiogenesis across various disease models adjunctive therapies cancer angiogenesis-driven disorders. also identifies existing knowledge gaps proposes future directions fully elucidate clinical utility applications.
