Experimental Study on Cyanoacrylate as Wound Adhesive
Abstract: Cyanoacrylates (CAs) have been widely used as surgical glues; however, the high cost of medical CA-based glues limits their use in developing countries. Another possible alternative is the low cost α-CAs which are normally used in commercial glues. The lack of toxicity studies of such agents is considered the main obstacle in their medical application. In the present study, we have evaluated the toxicity profile of commercial glue in comparison …

Health Hazards of Nanoparticles and Environmental Pollutants
Abstract: The exponential growth in the use of nanoparticles and the prevalence of environmental pollutants have raised significant concerns regarding their health hazards. Nanoparticles, owing to their unique physicochemical properties—such as small size, high surface areatovolume ratio, and chemical reactivity—can penetrate biological barriers, including the bloodbrain barrier, and interact at the cellular and molecular levels. This can lead to oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular dysfunction, ultimately resulting in potential toxicity. Similarly, …

In Silico Analysis and Molecular Docking Studies of COX-2 Inhibitors for Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Abstract: Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used to treat pain, lower fevers, and control inflammation, they frequently cause gastrointestinal side effects because they inhibit the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Despite their effectiveness and lack of gastrointestinal side effects, selective COX-2 inhibitors have been linked to cardiovascular risks. To find new COX-2 inhibitors that are safer and more effective, this study uses in silico techniques, such as molecular docking and …

Flavonoids: An Answer to Chronic Diseases
Abstract: It has been shown that inflammation is closely associated with the onset or exacerbation of quite a few non-communicable human diseases. Several chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular dysfunction and central nervous system damage are also developed following tissue injury produced by the high fragments of low-grade inflammation surrounding a compromised tissue or organ due to its acquired genomic changes. Current therapies for many of these diseases are associated …

Food Packaging Chemicals and Human Health: Molecular Toxicity, Exposure Pathways, and Regulatory Perspectives
Abstract: Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food quality, extending shelf life, and ensuring safe transportation. However, increasing evidence indicates that chemicals from packaging materials can migrate into food during processing, storage, and consumption, resulting in chronic human exposure. Several food packaging chemicals, including bisphenols, phthalates, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), styrene, heavy metals, and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), have emerged as important xenobiotics due to their potential adverse …

Contribution, Limitations and Future Of Plant Growth Promoting Consortium in Sustainable Agriculture
Abstract: Current agricultural methods rely significantly on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals to enhance plant growth and combat pathogens, aiming to boost crop yields. However, the accumulation of chemical residues in the soil diminishes soil fertility considerably over a period. These accumulated chemicals gradually alter the soil's chemical composition, ultimately rendering it infertile. The high-risk conditions associated with these agricultural chemicals such as bioaccumulation, chemical toxicity and development of resistance …
