Summary: Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extracts is a viable alternative to traditional methods, offering simplicity, affordability, and environmentally friendly processes. This study successfully produced silver and iron nanoparticles using sphagnum extract and traditional methods. Various techniques, including DLS, UV-visible spectroscopy, TEM with EDS, AFM, dark-field hyperspectral microscopy, and FT-IR, were employed to analyze the structure and properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. The findings demonstrated strong antibacterial activity, including biofilm formation, and suggested the potential for further research on nanoparticles synthesized using sphagnum moss extracts.

Summary: Traditional Asian remedies often use Ganoderma applanatum, a macrofungus, as a medicinal mushroom due to its strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This fungus can be synthesized into nanoparticles and made into plaster gels. The synthesized silver nanoparticle-mediated G.applanatum has been found to effectively inhibit bacterial growth. When applied to the skin, the gel turns into a film, making it suitable for topical pharmaceutical delivery.

Summary: In this study, lincomycin HCl-loaded in situ forming gels (ISGs) were developed using a 40% borneol-based matrix and N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent. The ISGs exhibited low viscosity and reduced surface tension, allowing for easy injection and spreadability. The drug-loading influenced solvent exchange and matrix formation, resulting in thinner and inhomogeneous borneol matrices with slower gel formation and lower gel hardness. These lincomycin HCl-loaded ISGs demonstrated sustained drug release and showed dose-dependent inhibition against various bacteria, making them promising for localized drug delivery systems for periodontitis treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to optimize the microwave-assisted drying of PSKP granules using DOE and develop a formulation for PSKP tablets. The optimal condition for microwave drying was found to be 300 W of microwave power for 15 min. This condition was then used to dry the wet granules and optimize the tablet formulation. The optimal parameters for tablet formulation were 1500 psi of compression force, 4.5% of polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30, and 2% of sodium starch glycolate. The optimal tablets showed rapid dissolution. In conclusion, this work successfully applied DOE for PSKP granule drying and formulation development of tablets.
