This study presents the phytosynthesis of silver-based nanoparticles using tomato flower waste extracts for first time in literature. The determination total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents showed high gallic acid equivalents (6436-8802 mg GAE/kg dm) quercetin (378-633 QE/kg dm), respectively, dependent on extraction method. By Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography technique, 14 compounds were identified quantified extracts. abundant phenolic caffeic (36,902-32,217 mg/kg) chlorogenic (1640-1728 mg/kg), catechin (292-251 luteolin (246-108 mg/kg). Transmission electron microscopy revealed a particle size range 14-40 nm. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy X-ray diffraction studies confirmed silver/silver oxide nanoparticles. These findings hold significant results antibacterial antitumoral potential applications obtained nanoparticles, opening new areas research development inspiring further exploration. impact this field metallic nanoparticle is substantial, as it introduces novel approach could lead to advancements field.

In this research, we developed undoped and aluminum-doped zinc oxide for antimicrobial anticancer activities. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, biological activities of nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) nanocomposites (Zn1−xAlxO NCs) at varying concentrations (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 wt%) using coprecipitation method. Various characterization techniques such as XRD, UV-Vis, FTIR, EDX, SEM were performed to analyze crystal structure, optical properties, functional group identification, elemental composition, surface morphology. The activity test showed that Zn0.75Al0.25O NCs exhibited strongest inhibition zone against Bacillus cereus compared Staphylococcus aureus > Pasteurella multocida Escherichia coli. Moreover, cytotoxicity cell viability liver cancer (HepG-2), breast (MCF-7), ovarian (SKOV3), normal lines) evaluated MTT assay, demonstrating not only enhance destruction but also show low high biocompatibility concentrations. These results suggest could be a promising candidate in vivo applications should further investigated.

In this research work, we designed a smart biodegradable PEG-coated MnO2 nanoparticles conjugated with doxorubicin (PMnO2-Dox NPs) for dual chemo-photodynamic therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) application. This highly sensitive pH-responsive PMnO2-Dox NPs causes effective drug release under acidic pH environment. not only improves the efficacy of due to synergistic response as well improved MRI via boosting T1 contrast. Manifold characterization techniques have been employed materials investigation. Crystallography were performed by using XRD analysis, which confirmed tetragonal crystal structure an approximate crystallite size 20–30 nm. Surface morphology was SEM results indicated spherical asymmetric agglomerated nanocluster NPs. in vitro bioassay, anticancer activity tested against breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line MTT test. Moreover, it can also inhibit growth primary secondary cancers without light exposure. Results suggested that convenient treatment combined but address way towards comprehensive strategy application bright contrast agent after overcoming problem multidrug resistance (MDR) therapeutic analysis.
