  • Glycyrrhiza glabra in green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles and its anticancer potential

    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Selenium (Se) is a critical element in human health, incorporated into selenoproteins, and is vital due to its specific bioactivities in nanoform. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were biosynthesized using an aqueous extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra as a reducing agent. The synthesis of SeNPs was characterized using UV–Visible spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM-EDX, TEM, DLS and zeta potential analysis. These investigations confirm that biosynthesized nanoparticles are spherical in shape, evenly distributed in size, and highly stable. MTT assays demonstrated significant dose-dependent cytotoxic activity of SeNPs against the cervical cancer cell line SiHa, while exhibiting very low toxicity toward normal McCoy fibroblast cells. These outcomes suggest that G. glabra-mediated SeNPs are safe and promising for treatment in targeted cancer therapies.
  • Biosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using Solanum trilobatum leaf extract and its efficacy on pancreatic cancer
    Sireesha Koyyalamudi, V. Ganesh Kumar, C. Jayaseelan, J. Balamurugan
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Nanoparticles are widely used in anticancer drugs, antimicrobial agent, degradation of harmful organic dyes, and waste water treatment etc. In the present investigation on iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are biosynthesized by using solanum trilobatum extract as reducing and stabilizing agent. This eco-friendly method offers a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical synthesis along with low toxicity. The iron oxide nanoparticles were subjected to anticancer activity. The chemical structure, morphological, and optical properties of synthesized Solanum trilobatum iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-VIS spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, DLS with zeta potential, SEM, TEM and EDX. The results confirmed the successful formation of iron oxide nanoparticles with controlled size distribution and colloidal stability. Biological evaluation through MTT-assay revealed that the iron oxide nanoparticles exhibited significant, dose-dependent cytotoxicity against panc1 cells while displaying minimum toxicity towards normal McCoy fibroblast cells. These findings suggest that the Solanum trilobatum synthesized Iron oxide nanoparticles are safe and show potential for further investigation for pre-clinical studies for targeted cancer therapy.
  • Effect of Li Doping in g-C3N4for Photocatalytic Dye Degradation
    Krithik R, E Anandharam, J Baalamurugan, Saheli Karmakar
    2026 9th International Conference on Electronics Materials Engineering and Nano Technology Iementech 2026, 2026
    Search for a sustainable and resourceful environment is fading slowly due to the rise of industrialization especially textile dyes. Photocatalytic dye degradation is a simple and effective technique to demolish the harmful effluents attacking the water bodies. With the help of g-C3N4 the material is gained with enhanced photocatalytic activity by enhanced visible light absorption and optimal band gap, it acts as a preferrable candidate. By doping with varying concentrations of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\text{Li}(0.1,0.2,0.3$</tex> and 0.4 g) in GCN the expected results from the absorption spectra have been achieved. Therefore, 0.3Li-GCN exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity by degrading methylene blue (MB) 92% in 150 min under visible light irradiation. The enhanced activity of the catalyst is obtained due to the improved charge carrier transport and band structure modification

    Metals and metal oxide-based nanocomposites play a significant role over the control of microbes. In this study, antibacterial activity of iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanocomposites based on induction furnace (IF) steel slag has been carried out. IF steel slag is an industrial by-product generated from secondary steel manufacturing process and has various metal oxides which includes Al2O3 (7.89%), MnO (5.06), CaO (1.49%) and specifically Fe2O3 (14.30%) in higher content along with metalloid SiO2 (66.42). Antibacterial activity of iron oxide nanocomposites has been revealed on bacterial species such as Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Micrococcus luteus has undergone maximum zone of inhibition (ZOI) of 12 mm for 10 mg/mL concentration of steel slag iron oxide nanocomposite. Growth inhibitory kinetics of bacterial species has been studied using ELISA microplate reader at 660 nm by varying the concentration of steel slag iron oxide nanocomposites. The results illustrate that IF steel slag is a potential material and can be utilized in building materials to increase the resistance against biodeterioration. Graphic abstract
