 Abstract

The progress in medical science has been significantly propelled by the advancements in nanotechnology, offering ground breaking solutions to combat life-threatening diseases. Nanotechnology represents a significant milestone with diverse applications across various sectors such as electronics, textiles, and particularly in healthcare. Nanotechnology is pivotal in healthcare due to its significant contributions in precision medicine applications such as targeted therapy, diagnostic techniques, therapeutic interventions and biomedical sensing all of which enhance human well-being. Nanoparticles serve as an extremely promising framework for a wide range of biomedical uses, showcasing their immense potential in revolutionizing medical treatments and interventions. The emergence of eco-friendly technologies for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles represents a significant stride within the realm of nanotechnology. This development intersects with the broader domain of materials science, particularly in the manipulation of atomic structures to confer distinct properties and facilitate diverse bio-applications. Among metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles stand out due to their remarkable physical, chemical and biological attributes. In this context, green chemistry has surfaced as a viable alternative to conventional synthesis methods for nanoparticles. Among the array of green approaches, leveraging plant extracts for nanoparticle synthesis garners particular attention. This preference stems from the rich diversity of biomolecules inherent in plants, which serve not only to reduce nanoparticles but also to act as stabilizing and capping agents, thereby expediting reaction kinetics. In contrast to microbial cultures, plants offer ease of handling, wide distribution and ready availability. The present review delves into the varied plant species suitable for rapid, one-step protocols in silver nanoparticle synthesis. Additionally, it delineates the multifaceted bioactivities exhibited by these nanoparticles, encompassing antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, anticancer and anti-diabetic properties.

 Abstract

For many years, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used as a herbal cure for a variety of illnesses. A complex blend of flavonolignans, including silibinin (silybin), silychristin, and silidianin, makes up the main active ingredient "SILYMARIN." Research on pharmacology has shown that silymarin possesses strong anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and antioxidant characteristics. Mixed results have come from clinical trials examining the effectiveness of milk thistle in treating a variety of liver illnesses, such as liver cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and alcoholic liver disease. Because of its well-established safety record and low number of documented side effects, milk thistle is a valuable adjunctive treatment. Silymarin's pharmacokinetics shows that it has limited oral bioavailability and poor water solubility, which make it difficult to employ therapeutically. To improve its absorption and bioavailability, advances in formulation technologies, such as the creation of liposomal, nanoparticles, and phytosomes, have been investigated. The goal of this paper is to give a thorough overview of milk thistle's pharmacological characteristics and pharmacokinetics, as well as its possible application in the treatment of liver illnesses and other ailments such as cancer, viral infection, fibrosis, tumorigenesis, inflammation, etc.

 Abstract

Neem bark (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) was investigated for its effectiveness in adsorbing metal ions from electroplating waste and synthetic solutions, both in batch and continuous-flow experiments. The sorption process was influenced by both pH and concentration, with an optimal pH range of 4 to 5. The equilibrium data were consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model, showing maximum adsorption capacities of 8.48 mg/g for Cu in electroplating waste and 13 to 46 mg/g in synthetic solutions. Competitive studies revealed the metal sorption affinity followed the order: Cu(II) > Cr(III) > Zn(II). In continuous-flow experiments, breakthrough curves for Cu(II) and Zn(II) from electroplating waste were obtained at varying bed depths and flow rates, with Cu(II) showing a higher sorption efficiency on Neem bark powder compared to Zn(II).

 Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by a symmetric polyarthritis and is the most common form of chronic inflammatory arthritis. Factors producing RA includes infectious trigger, genetic predisposition and autoimmune response. Since persistently active RA often results in articular cartilage and bone destruction and functional disability, it is vital to diagnose and treat this disease early and aggressively before damage ensues. RA., a systemic disease, may lead to a variety of extra- articular manifestations, including subcutaneous nodules, lung manifestations, pericarditis, peripheral neuropathy, vasculitis and haematologic abnormalities which must be managed accordingly. Despite the progress and advanced treatments, incomplete understanding of the initiating events of RA and the factors perpetuating the chronic inflammatory response remains a barrier to its cure and prevention. In Ayurveda, we can correlate RA, here, with multiple factors like Amavata, Saam vayu, Vatavyadhi, Asthivaha strotas dushti etc. The present case study is a case report of management of a female patient 43 years old with RA. Ayurvedic medication along with modern medicines were found to be effective in this case.
