Saponin-mediated synthesis of hydroxyapatite by hydrothermal method: characteristics, bioactivity, and antimicrobial behavior

Efficient synthesis of β‐aminoketones catalyzed by Fe3O4@ quillaja sapogenin/Ni (II) as a novel magnetic nano‐catalyst

“…Investigating the chemical structure of sapogenin is concluded in that sapogenins are steroids having extremely broad applications related to cancer, blood circulation system, and some other clinical issues. [14][15][16] Sapogenin used in industry is provided from the outer layer quillaja trunk.…”

Effect of calcium phosphate synthesis conditions on its physico-chemical properties and evaluation of its antibacterial activity

“…Ca-P can be of natural [14][15][16][17][18][19] or synthetic origin [4,6,7,11,20,21]. It can be prepared using several methods such as: aqueous precipitation [7,17,22], sol-gel method [10,[22][23][24], solid reaction [25], and hydrothermal [26,27]. The synthetic Ca-P is an alternative to the natural material because of its chemical, biological and mechanical properties [4,15,28].…”

“…The synthetic Ca-P is an alternative to the natural material because of its chemical, biological and mechanical properties [4,15,28]. Calcium phosphate is a preferred class of biomaterials because of its good properties such as biocompatibility, osteoconductive, bioactivity and non-toxic properties [26]. However, bacterial infection is the main factor leading to implant failure, resulting in serious physiological damage with the possibility of additional surgery [29,30].…”

“…He is present at the wound and at the skin. These bacteria often cause inflammation after the implantation of medical devices such as pacemakers, heart valves, artificial joints and bone implants [26]. It is also believed that the antibacterial properties of Ca-P are related to its morphological properties, crystal structure and its concentration, its pH and the sintering temperature [18,23,26,32,36].…”

It is also believed that the antibacterial properties of Ca-P are related to its morphological properties, crystal structure and its concentration, its pH and the sintering temperature [18,23,26,32,36]. More recently, the improvement of the physico-chemical properties of biomedical materials, both natural and synthetic, has preoccupied researchers and industrialists [4,15,[37][38][39].…”
