“…Thus, this necessitates the urgent need to search for alternatives. Over the years, the use of herbal products for the treatment of different human diseases such as cancer has gained wide attention [ 144 , 145 ]. This means that plants or herbs may provide the main active principles for the development of new anticancer agents [ 146 , 147 ].…”

The African continent is naturally endowed with various plant species with nutritional and medicinal benefits. About 80% of the people in developing countries rely on folk medicines to treat different diseases because of indigenous knowledge, availability, and cost-effectiveness. Extensive research studies have been conducted on the medicinal uses of African plants, however, the therapeutic potentials of some of these plants has remained unexploited. Over the years, several studies have revealed that some of these African floras are promising candidates for the development of novel drugs. Despite the plethora of studies on medicinal plant research in Africa, there is still little scientific data supporting the folkloric claims of these plants. Besides, safety in the use of folk medicines has been a major public health concern over the year. Therefore, it has become mandatory that relevant authority should take measures in safeguarding the populace on the use of herbal mixtures. Thus, the present review extracted relevant information from different scientific databases and highlighted some problems associated with folk medicines, adverse effects on reproductive systems, issue about safety due to the toxicity of some plants and their toxicity effects with potential therapeutic benefits are discussed.

Methylene blue (MB) is frequently used in the textile, rubber, plastics, leather, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. As a colouring and staining agent, MB is reported as one of the most studied dyes involving degradation and photocatalytic activity. Unfortunately, the discharge of waste from the mentioned industries contains residues of dyes, whereby the presence of a very low concentration of dyes can be highly visible. Discharging the waste without suitable treatment can cause many complications for the environment and human health. Due to that reason, the control of dye wastewater has become the most challenging task. Therefore, this review article will be focused on the MB treatment process, especially membrane filtration technology involving a pressure-driven membrane process, which is reported to be the most efficient method to treat MB dye wastewater.

“…It is widely used in dyeing textiles, food products, cosmetics, and medicines (Aceto et al, 2019; Boga et al, 2013; Cooksey, 2019; Divya Singh, Baboo, & Prasad, 2011; Liu, Ji, et al, 2019; Liu, Yi, et al, 2019; Liu, Zhang, & Tang, 2013). Lac dye has also been used as a potential antitumor agent and biomarker to localize calcium phosphate tribasic in previous reports (Gupta, Bhatt, & Momin, 2019; Kemmochi et al, 2012; Kobayashi et al, 2017; Shamim, Ranjan, Pandey, Sharma, & Ramani, 2016). Accordingly, lac dye was considered as a safe and environmentally‐friendly colorant (Cooksey, 2019; Nandkishore, Sanjay, & Murari, 2017).…”

Lac dye, a kind of food additive and textile dye, is extracted from lac insect secretions. The ability of lac dye to stain bacteria was firstly found. Based on the discovery, a new bidirectional lateral flow immunoassay strip (BLFIS) for detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) was successfully developed. The BLFIS has two sheets of nitrocellulose (NC) membranes separated by a sample pad. The anti‐E. coli O157:H7 monoclonal antibodies (McAb) were oppositely dispensed on the NC membranes as the control line and test line, respectively. On the side of the control line, a conjugation pad immobilized with pre‐stained E. coli O157:H7 was assembled. The detection limit of BLFIS was 106 CFU/ml. Furthermore, after pre‐incubation in food sample, the detection sensitivity was significantly increased to 100 colonies of the initial bacterial count. This method may be an improvement over traditional colloidal gold lateral flow immunoassay strips, which does not require the pairing of two antibodies to complete the detection, nor the chromogenic nanomaterials to report the detection results, such as gold nanoparticles. And the BLFIS might provide technical support for detecting E. coli O157:H7 in food and ensuring food safety.

Lac dye as a potential anti-neoplastic agent

Abstract: Both crimson and yellow lac dye inhibits proliferation of Human leukemia cell lines, Raji, U937, K562, HL60 and Jurkat, therefore can be considered as a potential anticancer agent for leukemia.
