This research highlights the preparation nanomaterials from resources, such as biomasses, by addressing ‘waste-to-nanomaterials’. Transforming biological wastes into functional nanomaterials sustains waste management and supports technological innovation and environmental protection. The strategies involve ‘green-technologies’ for large scale commercialization strategies to generate...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted considerable attention as catalysts due to their high surface reactivity, yet their tendency to aggregate limits reusability and long-term performance. In this study, calcined eggshells—a low-cost, calcium-rich waste material—were employed as a support matrix to stabilize AgNPs synthesized via the polyol method, using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a...
Liposomal formulations have attracted considerable interest as sustained drug delivery systems for local anesthetics because they can prolong drug release and potentially reduce dosing frequency. Accurate determination of encapsulation efficiency (EE) and in vitro drug release is therefore essential for evaluating formulation performance. This study validated and applied a reversed-phase...
Biosynthesis has attracted considerable attention as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach for the production of metal oxide nanoparticles with potential biomedical applications. In the present study, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) peel extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The biosynthesized nanoparticles...
Torsades de Pointes (TdP) is a life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia that originates when a drug compound inhibits cardiac ion channels at the nanoscale, altering the ionic currents underlying the cardiac action potential. Translating this nanoscale inhibition into a clinically actionable risk category remains central to the Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) paradigm, yet the...
Abstract:
Background: Antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria is a growing global health concern, propting the search for effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to antimicrobial. Silver has been used as an alternative, including in the synthesis of nanoparticles, to treat burns, wounds, and many infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. Objective: This study aimed to...
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is one of Indonesia's abundant lignocellulosic biomass wastes and has great potential as a raw material for producing nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) due to its high cellulose content. The quality of NCC is strongly influenced by the pretreatment process prior to acid hydrolysis; therefore, an effective pretreatment method is required to enhance the removal...
