Plant-Mediated Green Route to Copper Oxide Nanoparticle Synthesis with Calotropis gigantea | Chapter 9 | Current Research Progress in Physical Science Vol. 9

A facile, innovative and affordable green route has been demonstrated for the formation of Copper oxide nanoparticles by a biogenic method using aqueous leaf extract of calotropis gigantea which acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Copper nanoparticles received much attention owing to their high electrical conductivity, high liquefaction point, low electrochemical migration behavior, and low cost. The property of copper nanoparticles mainly depends on the synthesis route and their process parameters. The prepared Copper oxide nanoparticles were characterized by a host of different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD pattern confesses that Copper oxide nanoparticles are associated with orthorhombic structure. The DRS absorption spectrum shows band gap energy corresponds to a wide band gap semiconductor The FT-IR spectra indicate the presence of chemicals which are responsible for the biochemical reaction. The Zeta Potential value revealed the stability of Copper oxide nanoparticles. Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TG) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) are used as thermoanalytical techniques to study the synthesized NPS.

Preliminary Phytochemical, Physicochemical Evaluation and Spectrometric Analysis of Selected Indian Plants with Antioxidant Activity | Chapter 4 | Advanced Concepts in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 5

The objective of this research was to develop a polyherbal formulation using three different herbs and to evaluate their phytochemicals, physical constants and determination of their antioxidant activity by DPPH method. Folklore medicine is being re-evaluated by extensive research on different plant species and their therapeutic principles. The PHF authenticated herbs were characterized by studying their morphological and phytochemical analysis. Preliminary screening showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, carbohydrates, amino acids and flavonoids in the combination extract. Physical parameters such as loss on drying (LOD), ash values and extractive values have been studied. The antioxidant activity of the combination of extract (100 mg each) was determined using DPPH free radical scavenging method. The results showed that the combination extract has best antioxidant effect at a dose of 300 µg/ml and the % inhibition of PHF is 75.2% and 96.6 % inhibition for ascorbic acid as the reference standard. All the extracts and PHF showed a dose dependent activity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) uses the mathematical process (Fourier transform) to translate the raw data (interferogram) into the actual spectrum. FTIR method is used to obtain the infrared spectrum of transmission or absorption of a fuel sample.  The result showed that the PHF has more potent antioxidant activity when compared with individual extract. It also shows that the combination of three different herbs in a single formulation is completely compatible with each other which is determined from FTIR. The presence of heavy metal and minerals in the prepared extracts and PHF where analysed using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the tested minerals and metals were within the specified limit.  From the study, the levels of these metals were detected in all three plants and PHF. Presence of heavy metals and minerals in the prepared extracts and PHF were analysed using AAS and were with in the specified limits.

 According to the reviews, this study was based on current efforts and breakthroughs in customizing nano-scale structures of nanostructured conducting polymer materials to improve electrical characteristics. The purpose of this study is to look into the a.c electrical response of a PANI/FeNP/Graphene composite created in-situ with adhathodavasica plant extract in an ice-cold bath The samples were characterized using techniques such as FT-IR and SEM. AC conductivity measurements were taken at 298K using an HIOKI 3532-50 LCR Hi-tester in the frequency range 5x101–5x106 Hz. SEM images show the layered structure of graphene nanosheets in the composite. The uniform distribution of iron nanoparticles throughout the PANI matrix, as well as the frequency of imine stretching, are characteristics of IR spectral data. The investigation of a.c conductivity provides evidence for the transport properties of composites. AC conductivity values increase as graphene content in the PANI/FeNP/Graphene composites increases stepwise.

An in-vitro Bactericidal Efficacy of Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi), a Known Indian Folk Medicinal Plant | Chapter 4 | Technological Innovation in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 2

 Traditional medicine has used medicinal plants to treat diseases caused by microorganisms because they contain therapeutic components. The phytochemical analysis of ethanol, methanol, acetone, and aqueous extracts of Ocimum tenuiflorum, as well as its antibacterial activities, were investigated in this review. Shade dried leaves of Ocimum tenuiflorum were powdered and extracted with ethanol, methanol, acetone, and water. Preliminary phytochemical screening of crude leaf extracts showed the existence of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, anthraquinones, saponins, resins, glycosides, and phenols, among other bioactive compounds. The antibacterial activity of Ocimum tenuiflorum leaf extracts was tested using the agar disc diffusion technique against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella gallinarum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, and Proteus vulgaris. The maximum zone of inhibition against Salmonella gallinarum was found in an ethanolic leaf extract of Ocimum tenuiflorum (18.33 0.47 mm). The maximum activity index (2.48 0.30) and increase in fold area (5.22 1.47) for aqueous leaf extract were observed against Escherichia coli. The current study's findings show that Ocimum tenuiflorum can be used as a source of antibiotics to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
