Preparation and Evaluation of Herbal Gel Containing Multiple Plant Extracts for Acne Treatment
Abstract: A persistent inflammatory condition affecting the pilosebaceous unit, acne is caused by an increase in sebum production by sebaceous glands and an incorrect desquamation of hair follicles in response to rising testosterone levels throughout teenage years. Follicular obstruction results in follicular distention, which frequently triggers an inflammatory reaction and the growth of the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. This project mainly focused on the formulation of a herbal gels for acne. These …

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: Antifungal Efficacy Against Aspergillus niger and Agricultural Benefits
Abstract: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are gaining significant attention in agriculture due to their potent antifungal properties. This study focuses on evaluating the antifungal effects of green synthesized AgNPs derived from Aloe vera leaf extract against the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus niger. The results indicate that the synthesized nanoparticles exhibited a strong absorption maximum at 550 nm, indicative of surface plasmon resonance. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to analyze the nanoparticles, and the solution …

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …
