“…MIFE consistently shows higher radical-scavenging activity, which indicates its potent antioxidant properties. The flavonoids present in MIFE, in particular, contribute significantly to this activity by stabilizing free radicals and preventing further oxidative damage [ 24 - 25 ]. In contrast, BMFE and MPLE, while also containing antioxidant phytochemicals, do not demonstrate the same level of activity.…”

Objective This study aimed to synthesize cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) via the green synthesis method using Millettia pinnata (M. pinnata) , leaf (MPL), Butea monosperma (B. monosperma) flower (BMF), and Madhuca indica (M. indica) flower (MIF) as eco-friendly reducing agents. It further aimed to compare the effectiveness of these plant extracts in CoNPs production and evaluate the antioxidant activities of the synthesized nanoparticles (NPs), establishing a link between the phytochemical constituents of the extracts and the antioxidant capacity of CoNPs for potential applications in drug development and environmental sustainability. Materials and methods CoNPs were synthesized using aqueous extracts of MPL, BMF, and MIF. These extracts act as stabilizing and self-reducing agents. Initially, the presence of CoNPs was detected visually by observing a color change. To confirm this observation, UV-visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were employed. UV-visible spectroscopy helps in analyzing the absorption of light by the CoNPs, while FTIR spectroscopy is used to identify the functional groups present in the NPs. Subsequently, the antioxidant activity of the synthesized CoNPs was assessed using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydroxyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay. This assay measures the ability of antioxidants to neutralize free radicals by determining the reduction in the DPPH radical's absorption. To ensure the reliability of the results, the experiments were conducted in triplicate. Statistical analysis was then performed to compare the antioxidant effectiveness of the different plant extracts used in synthesizing the CoNPs. This analysis helps in determining any significant differences in antioxidant activity among the extracts. Results UV-visible spectral analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of CoNPs, revealing characteristic absorption peaks. For M. pinnata leaf extract (MPLE), the maximum peak was observed at ~272 nm, while B. monosperma flower extract (BMFE) exhibited a peak at ~276 nm, and M. indica flower extract (MIFE) revealed a maximum peak at ~320 nm. FTIR analysis further validated the presence of organic molecules from plant components on the outer layer of CoNPs, indicating successful capping and stabilization by phytochemicals from the extracts. The spectra displayed various peaks at different wavenumbers: MPLE showed prominent peaks at 3335 cm −1 , BMFE showed distinct peaks at 3314 cm −1 , and MIFE exhibited significant peaks at 3261 cm −1 . Among the three types of CoNPs tested, those synthesized using MIFE exhibited the highest inhibition of 87.67% at a concentration of 60 µL. This higher inhibition was compared to those synthesized using BMFE and MPLE. This study suggests that the CoNPs synthes...

Paracetamol (Acetaminophen; N-acetyl-P-aminophenol) is a broadly used analgesic and antipyretic prescription that can have fatal side effects when used in high dosages. Conventional treatment options for paracetamol overdose are limited and often ineffective, highlighting the need for alternative therapies. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring natural remedies as potential alleviating interventions for paracetamol overdose. This comprehensive review explores the evidence-based natural therapies that have been studied for their effectiveness in reducing paracetamol toxicity. The review examines the mechanisms of action and safety profiles of these natural therapies, as well as their potential limitations and future research directions. The natural remedies discussed in this review include N-acetylcysteine, palm date, milk thistle, curcumin, ginger, and several others. Overall, this review highlights the potential of certain traditional hepatoprotective plants as effective and safe protective options against paracetamol overdose and emphasizes the need for further research to establish their clinical efficacy and safety.

Ayurveda is an ancient traditional medical care system. The major aim of Ayurveda is to prevent unnecessary suffering and aiding healthy long life. Ayurveda incorporates natural constituents to make potential medicines that are believed to eliminate the root cause of the diseases. Forty-five thousand plant species are found in the subcontinent of India making it one of the largest biodiversity centers. In India alone, 15,000 medicinal plant species have been reported out of which 7500 species are used by the communities to cure different diseases. Ayurveda uses single or polyherbal for treatment. In these traditional medicine systems, various formulations are prepared one of which is fermented formulations, namely, arishtas and asavas. These formulations are prepared using a decoction of herbal drugs and contain self-generated alcohol. Fermented formulations are known for their stability and efficacy. Indian traditional literature states the usage of these formulations regularly with scientific validation strengthens one immunity and well-being. The current review focuses on Vidangarishta. Punarnavasava, Chandanasava, their preparations, therapeutics uses, and their toxic effects. A thorough understating of these formulations aids in standardizing Ayurveda as a marginalized medicine.
