“…Several polyphenols have been discovered in Amphipterygium adstringens, including gallic acid, which is a polyphenolic compound that occurs naturally in various plants. Gallic acid possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties [91]. A recent study successfully conducted a physicochemical analysis of pyrolytic fractions obtained from the bark of A. adstringens, a plant traditionally used in Mexican folk medicine to treat skin conditions [92].…”

Polyphenols are a diverse class of natural compounds that are widely distributed in various fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and bring benefits in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Studies suggested that polyphenols may improve cardiovascular health and may have neuroprotective effects. The Mediterranean region is a vast area. Although the territory encompasses a wide variety of cultures and dietary patterns, there are some commonalities in terms of the plant-based foods and their polyphenol content. Such polyphenols have been studied for their potential photoprotective effects on the skin. We focused on nutraceutical effects of Mediterranean plants in skin photoprotection in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and chronic urticaria. Results highlight the importance of exploring natural compounds for therapeutic purposes. The wide variety of polyphenols found in different foods and plants allows for a diverse range of pharmacological effects. The Mediterranean diet, rich in polyphenol-containing foods, is associated with a lower incidence of various chronic diseases, including dermatological conditions. While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of action and optimal dosing of polyphenols, there is initial evidence to support their potential use as adjunctive therapy for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and chronic urticaria.

Selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) have attracted researchers’ attention because of their unique attributes and potential for application in diverse areas, such as biological medicine, environmental remediation, and energy generation. This review summarizes recent progress in the green synthesis and characterization of Se-NPs. It elaborates on the fabrication of Se-NPs through chemical, biological, and physical techniques, including advantages and challenges. Moreover, techniques for evaluating the chemical and physical characteristics of NPs are described. The promising applications of Se-NPs are emphasized, including antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial applications, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Because of their exceptional properties and biocompatibility, Se-NPs are used in diverse industries. Recently, plant-extract synthesized Se-NPs have become increasingly used because of their benefits over chemically synthesized Se-NPs, including lower cost and greater environmental friendliness.

Periodontitis is a persistent inflammatory condition that causes periodontal ligament degradation, periodontal pocket development, and alveolar bone destruction, all of which lead to the breakdown of the teeth’s supporting system. Periodontitis is triggered by the accumulation of various microflora (especially anaerobes) in the pockets, which release toxic substances and digestive enzymes and stimulate the immune system. Periodontitis can be efficiently treated using a variety of techniques, both regional and systemic. Effective therapy is dependent on lowering microbial biofilm, minimizing or eradicating pockets. Nowadays, using local drug delivery systems (LDDSs) as an adjuvant therapy to phase I periodontal therapy is an attractive option since it controls drug release, resulting in improved efficacy and lesser adverse reactions. Choosing the right bioactive agent and mode of delivery is the foundation of an efficient periodontal disease management approach. The objective of this paper is to shed light on the issue of successful periodontal regeneration, the drawbacks of currently implemented interventions, and describe the potential of locally delivered repurposed drugs in periodontal tissue regeneration. Because of the multiple etiology of periodontitis, patients must get customized treatment with the primary goal of infection control. Yet, it is not always successful to replace the lost tissues, and it becomes more challenging as the defect gets worse. Pharmaceutical repurposing offers a viable, economical, and safe alternative for non-invasive, and predictable periodontal regeneration. This article clears the way in front of researchers, decision-makers, and pharmaceutical companies to explore the potential, effectiveness, and efficiency of the repurposed pharmaceuticals to generate more economical, effective, and safe topical pharmaceutical preparations for periodontal tissue regeneration.
