Summary: Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract was used as a reducing agent to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which showed stability and controlled release. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized as spherical and monodispersed using UV-visible, FT-IR spectroscopies, XRD, and SEM analyses. These bio-synthesized AB-AgNPs demonstrated effective cytotoxicity against lung cancer (A549 cell line) and breast cancer (MCF7 cell line), with optimized conditions. The IC50 values for A549 and MCF7 cells were found to be 49.52 g mL(-1) and 78.40 g mL(-1), respectively. Thus, the green synthesis of AB-AgNPs holds promise as a potential anticancer agent.

Summary: In recent years, there has been increasing attention on antibacterial nanosystems for cancer treatment involving bacterial infection. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used for their long-lasting and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, but their inert surfaces make it difficult to load and deliver anticancer agents directly. This study developed biocompatible silver nanoparticles (TA-AgNPs) using tannic acid as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The TA-AgNPs exhibited low cytotoxicity and significant antibacterial activity. They could also effectively load and deliver the anticancer drug epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI), and showed pH- and GSH-sensitive drug release performance. The TA-AgNPs/EPI nanodrug demonstrated equal cytotoxicity to free EPI against cancer cells and prevented the influence of bacteria on EPI cytotoxicity.

Summary: Novel CuFe12O19@hydroxyapatite magnetic nanocomposites (CuFe12O19@HAp MNCs) were synthesized for the first time as controlled target drug delivery by ultrasound-assisted precipitation method. The magnetic substrate was functionalized with APTES (CuFe12O19@HAp-APTES MNCs) to enhance the efficiency of the drug delivery system. Various characterization techniques were used to analyze the crystallinity, size, morphology, and composition of the products. The CuFe12O19@HAp-APTES MNCs exhibited the highest entrapment efficiency (63.1%) and controlled-release potential for the model drug (atenolol) compared to pure CuFe12O19@HAp MNCs. The cytotoxicity of ATL-loaded magnetic nanocomposites (ATL-CuFe12O19@HAp-APTES MNCs) was evaluated, and the results demonstrated that the synthesized magnetic nanocomposites could serve as effective vehicles for sustained delivery of atenolol.

Summary: In recent years, the use of plant sources for synthesizing nanoparticles has been important, particularly gold nanoparticles which possess unique biological properties. This study utilized the aqueous extract of Pistacia vera hull to fabricate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@PV) in an easy, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective manner, and evaluated their anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial, and photocatalytic potentials. The results showed successful biological reduction of Au3+ ions to Au0 nanoparticles. Antibacterial studies demonstrated that the biosynthesized gold nanoparticles exhibited good antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria, including drug-resistant strains. The antifungal investigation revealed susceptibility of pathogenic fungi to AuNPs@PV, and the nanoparticles exhibited significant anti-cancer efficacy against specific cell lines. Moreover, AuNPs@PV demonstrated noteworthy photocatalytic activity in the decolorization of methylene orange. Therefore, biosynthesized gold nanoparticles have potential applications in environmental and biological fields as photocatalysts, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-cancer agents.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
