“…The chemical makeup, architectural design, and form of FAMEs in PMBD can be identified via GC spectroscopic analysis (Figure 9, Table 5; Sarkar et al., 2022). The majority of biodiesel's important fuel qualities are highly dependent on the different fatty acid compositions of the oil source used to create it (Yaşar, 2020).…”

This study explores the sustainable production of biodiesel from nonedible Phyllanthus maderaspatensis seed oil (highest oil content of 35%, FFA 0.87 mg/KOH), utilizing an innovative green synthesis approach for chromium oxide nanoparticles derived from the waste fruit parts of Aubergine for the very first time in the current work. In pursuit of alternatives to fossil fuels, our research underscores the environmental and socio‐economic benefits of biofuels, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The optimized process yielded a 92% biodiesel conversion under conditions of a 9:1 methanol‐to‐oil ratio, 0.135 wt.% catalyst concentration, and a reaction duration of 150 min at 80°C. Comprehensive analysis techniques, including XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDX, Zeta analysis, differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), GC–MS, and NMR (1H, 13C), were employed to characterize the synthesized nanocatalyst and biodiesel product. The biodiesel's fuel properties, such as acid value, fire point, pour point, viscosity, kinematic density, sulfur content, and cloud point, were rigorously tested, demonstrating compliance with international standards (ASTM D‐6571, EN 14214, and GB/T 20828‐2007). The use of P. maderaspatensis seed oil, an economical and environmentally friendly feedstock, in conjunction with a cost‐effective nanocatalyst, presents a viable pathway for the sustainable and scalable production of biodiesel. This study contributes to the advancement of bioproducts for a sustainable bioeconomy by demonstrating an integrated approach to bioenergy production that leverages biotechnological innovations and addresses both environmental and socio‐economic dimensions.

A novel series of seventeen 2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole‐N‐aryl acetamides derivatives 3(a–q) were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of 2‐chloro‐N‐(aryl)‐acetamides 2(a–q) with 2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole (1) in N,N‐Dimethylformamide. The literature indicates that the primary compound, 2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole (1), not only serves as a synthetic precursor but also exhibit anthelmintic, antiviral, and antifungal activities. The synthesized compounds were estimated for their structures through elemental analysis and spectral data examination. All the compounds be subjected to evaluation for their antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis (NCIM 2920), Staphylococcus aureus (NCIM 2901), Escherichia coli (NCIM 2810), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCIM 5223), and antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis (ATCC607). Compound 3 m, exhibit the highest antibacterial activity with a MIC value of 1.562 μg/ml against all tested bacterial strains and compound 3 k, exhibited the highest antimycobacterial activity with a MIC value of 3.96 μg/ml. Additionally, we performed docking investigations of the most active compounds within the active binding site of the co‐crystallized structure of Glucosamine‐6‐phosphate synthase (PDB ID: 2VF5) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (PDB ID: 2X22).

“…Natural Compounds from the Phytochemical Class Impeding NAFLD Secondary metabolites such alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, terpenoids, and tannins have previously shown anti-microbial [39], anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-cancer properties [40,41]. There is an unmet, compelling need by physicians to use natural products to alleviate NAFLD, due to their large availability coupled with safety and low cost [42].…”

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with a global prevalence of 25%, continues to escalate, creating noteworthy concerns towards the global health burden. NAFLD causes triglycerides and free fatty acids to build-up in the liver. The excessive fat build-up causes inflammation and damages the healthy hepatocytes leading to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Dietary habits, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia influence NAFLD progression. The disease burden is complicated due to the paucity of therapeutic interventions. Obeticholic acid is the only approved therapeutic agent for NAFLD. With more scientific enterprise being directed towards understanding of underlying mechanisms of NAFLD, novel targets like lipid synthase, farnesoid X receptor signalling, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors associated with inflammatory signalling and hepatocellular injury have played a crucial role in progression of NAFLD to NASH. Phytocompounds have shown promising results in modulating hepatic lipid metabolism and de novo lipogenesis suggesting their possible role in managing NAFLD. This review discusses the ameliorative role of different classes of phytochemicals with molecular mechanisms in different cell lines and established animal models. These compounds may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for NAFLD progression to NASH. This review also deliberates on phytomolecules undergoing clinical trials for effective management of NAFLD.
