“…HA is progressively employed for grafting and as fillers of bone to repair fractured bone and can be obtained from the animal's waste bones. [ 214 ] While using these materials in biomedical, viable and environmental factors are also considered. Therefore, an environmentally viable scheme for the preparation of HA has been designed and used to manufacture HA powders (HAps).…”

Current interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) stems from some of their novel characteristics, like low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and nonflammability, integrated through high ionic conductivity and broad range of electrochemical strength. Nowadays, ionic liquids represent a new category of chemical‐based compounds for developing superior and multifunctional substances with potential in several fields. ILs can be used in solvents such as salt electrolyte and additional materials. By adding functional physiochemical characteristics, a variety of IL‐based electrolytes can also be used for energy storage purposes. It is hoped that the present review will supply guidance for future research focused on IL‐based polymer nanocomposites electrolytes for sensors, high performance, biomedicine, and environmental applications. Additionally, a comprehensive overview about the polymer‐based composites’ ILs components, including a classification of the types of polymer matrix available is provided in this review. More focus is placed upon ILs‐based polymeric nanocomposites used in multiple applications such as electrochemical biosensors, energy‐related materials, biomedicine, actuators, environmental, and the aviation and aerospace industries. At last, existing challenges and prospects in this field are discussed and concluding remarks are provided.

“…Additionally, other compounds like gallic acid, another established active ingredient in sumac extract, also play a role in its antimicrobial activity( Borges et al 2013). Research suggests that gallic acid may induce irreversible alterations in membrane properties by modifying hydrophobicity, reducing surface negative charge, and causing local rupture or pore formation in bacterial cells, ultimately resulting in the release of essential substances and intracellular components( Mazzara et al 2023;Oladele et al…”

The research aimed to evaluate the antioxidative and antibacterial characteristics of aqueous sumac extract on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through in vitro and in vivo study. Sumac extract has been obtained through the soaking method, and its antioxidant properties were gauged using the DPPH free radical scavenging method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of sumac extract was determined on S. aureus obtained from hospitalized patients, as well as an assessment of biofilm-formation and the release of bacterial intracellular compounds. in vivo experimentation involved injecting bacteria (108 cfu/ml) into mice, which subsequently manifested indicators of symptoms of infection, and the number of bacteria within their bloodstream was quantified. The Sumac extract demonstrated strong antioxidant properties at concentrations of 1000 mg/ml. The study identified 190 bacterial samples as Staphylococcus aureus using the gram, mannitol, coagulase, and DNase agar tests. These bacteria were resistant to clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, and methicillin antibiotics, but sensitive to erythromycin and penicillin antibiotics. Additionally, the bacteria displayed significant methicillin resistance and formed a strong biofilm (65.78%). The sumac extract showed a MIC range of 125–1000 µg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment with concentrations below the MIC was found to prevent the formation of biofilm and increase the release of bacterial intracellular compounds. Sumac extract led to a decrease in bacterial count in the blood of mice and reduced signs of infection. Sumac extract demonstrated powerful antioxidant and antibacterial effects against resistant microorganisms, suggesting its potential as a promising compound for the treatment of resistant infections in future research.
