“…We have reported use of CrS nanoparticles for its degradation. When congo red is present in aqueous medium, it shows SPR band at wavelengths 486 nm which corresponds to π-π * transition as well as 335 nm which corresponds to n-π * transition associated with the azo group [37]. Catalytic activity of these nanoparticles was also tested at optimal pH.…”

Wastewater generated from industries consists of non-fixed dyes contributing to environmental pollution. Use of nanotechnology is being exploited for efficient degradation of dyes. Chromium sulphide nanoparticles have potential biological applications such as ion-selective membrane electrodes and probes for colocalization of membrane proteins. The biosynthesis of chromium sulphide nanoparticles by a high temperature hydrothermal approach has been reported herewith using chromium trioxide as the source of chromium and egg yolk (yellow) as the natural source of sulphur. Catalytic efficiency of chromium sulphide nanoparticles calcinated at 400°C and 1000°C has been tested for degradation of congo red, eosin Y, methylene blue as well as bromo cresol green of as prepared solutions and at acidic pH (pH 2.0).

“…Its fruits are therapeutic and have been used to treat cervical and colon cancer . Interestingly, a study by Sowmyya and Vijaya Lakshmi discovered that extracts from these dried fruits contributed to the creation of silver nanoparticles by acting as reducing and stabilizing agents during the conversion of Ag + to nano-silver . The last compound, 4′-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavan, was derived from the orchid tree Bauhinia divaricate and was formerly used to treat skin and colon cancer.…”

The main therapeutic difficulties in treating hypoxia-induced glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are toxicity of current treatments and the resistance brought on by the microenvironment. More effective therapeutic alternatives are urgently needed to reduce tumor lethality. Hence, we screened plant-based natural product panels intending to identify novel drugs without elevating drug resistance. We explored GEO for the hypoxia GBM model and compared hypoxic genes to non-neoplastic brain cells. A total of 2429 differentially expressed genes expressed exclusively in hypoxia were identified. The functional enrichment analysis demonstrated genes associated with GBM, further PPI network was constructed, and biological pathways associated with them were explored. Seven webtools, including GEPIA2.0, TIMER2.0, TCGA-GBM, and GlioVis, were used to validate 32 hub genes discovered using Cytoscape tool in GBM patient samples. Four GBM-specific hypoxic hub genes, LYN, MMP9, PSMB9, and TIMP1, were connected to the tumor microenvironment using TIMER analysis. 11 promising hits demonstrated positive drug-likeness with nontoxic characteristics and successfully crossed blood−brain barrier and ADMET analyses. Top-ranking hits have stable intermolecular interactions with the MMP9 protein according to molecular docking, MD simulation, MM-PBSA, PCA, and DCCM analyses. Herein, we have reported flavonoids, 7,4′-dihydroxyflavan, (3R)-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-6-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran, and 4′-hydroxy-7methoxyflavan, to inhibit MMP9, a novel hypoxia gene signature that could serve as a promising predictor in various clinical applications, including GBM diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy.
