Arsenic Induced Cytotoxicity Study Against Human Epithelial Carcinoma (HeLa) Cell
Abstract: The present investigation was undertaken to find out the cytotoxic effects of various amounts of arsenic exposure to human epithelial carcinoma (HeLa) cell. Cells were treated with a final concentration (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 µg/l) of arsenite in 5 ml MEM for 24 h where 0 concentration was considered as control. Cell viability was determined by the trypan blue (TB) exclusion test using hematocytometer and automated BIO-RAD …

Cytotoxic, Anthalmintic and Analgesic Activities of the Methanol Extract of Ricinus communis (Family: Euphorbiaceae)
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical screening, cytotoxicity, anthelmintic activity and analgesic properties of the methanol extract (leaves) of Ricinus communis (Family: Euphorbiaceae). The methanol extract of the leaves showed mild cytotoxic activity with the LC50 value 6.456 µg/mL compared to vincristine sulfate (LC50 0.812 µg/mL) using brine shrimp lethality bioassay. The anthelmintic activity was performed by observing the time of paralysis and the time of …

Carbon Nanoparticles: Occupational Exposure and Genotoxic Effects
Abstract: The field of nanotechnology is revolutionizing today’s era by being the fastest emerging field. Though nanotechnology is the boon to the society, the potential toxicity of these nanoparticles should not be ignored as they can affect anyone from microbes to humans. The main focus of this paper is the toxicity of nanoparticles because people working in these areas, prone to nanoparticles are at high risk due to its toxic property. …
