Exploring Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) as Advanced Tools for Biosensing and Imaging Kunjal Soni, Rakesh Kumar Ameta Two Dimensional Nanomaterials for Biosensing and Imaging Applications, 2025 Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained appreciable consideration as they have tunable structures and photo-physical properties at the molecular level. COFs are constructed with accurate ordering and periodic 2D or 3D frameworks via covalent assembly having different functional component parts. COFs are members of a class of active nano-porous compounds that grip the essential physiognomies of reticular chemistry and have robustly connected with covalent bonds with chromophore frameworks having π-conjugation with extended form. So, adding biologically/chemically pertinent building blocks for making compatible COFs via principles of tailoring and designing makes them much more suitable for research. The advantages of COFs, such as predesigned structure possessions, distinctive photoluminescence, hypo toxicity, better biocompatibility, and tumor invasion ability, extend their applicability in biological fields, for instance, in bioimaging, biosensing, and drug delivery. Nanoscale COFs with fluorescence adjusted possessions, surface chemistry with functionalization, containing π-conjugation unit, photostable features, and none cytotoxic, are widely used as biosensors (BS) and bioimaging (BI). This chapter includes the advances of COFs in biosensing and bioimaging, which are emerging. COFs are discussed from the viewpoint of various kinds of COFs, various synthetic aspects, and their concrete applicability in biosensing and bioimaging.
Contemporary advances in the plant resources mediated synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles: Insights on structure-function-workability understanding Rakesh Kumar Ameta, Parth Malik, Sushil Korgaokar, Piyush Vanzara, Kunjal Soni Plant Nano Biology, 2024 Of late, promptly responding materials have been the centre-stage of interdisciplinary research. Nanotechnology has emerged as a blessing herein, enabling atomic scale resolution manifested by increasing precision of structural, surface and functionality probing characterizations. Amongst the manifold nanomaterials, nanoparticles (NPs) of transition metals have swiftly emerged as prominent functionality enhancing entities, attributed to quantum confinement (QC) of d sub-shells unpaired electrons encompassed varied oxidation states. Renewable and eco-friendly methods of making NPs have swiftly gathered scientific and academic attention owing to their steadfast workability. In this context, plant extracts (PEs) serve as green reducing agents to obtain zerovalent NMs from complex metal salts. The prepared NPs are recognized initially via QC driven distinct optics and subsequently through explicit structural inspections. The encouraging aspects of plant resources herein include their robust availability and nature-friendly working, ruling out the separate addition of capping agent. Secondary plant metabolites comprise the backbone of PE, making them even more befitting for biological applications. Realizing this, the present article focuses on the structure-function regulated chemistry of CuO NPs with recent advances in their plant resources driven formation. The discussed studies comprise the post 2018 attempts retrieved from the “Pubmed” using the keywords “Bioactivities of Plant Resources Fabricated Copper Oxide Nanoparticles”. The sole objective herein is to understand the diverse applications of CuO NPs vis-à-vis modulated constitutional energy levels and tuneable semi-conducting features. The discussion herein could strengthen the biomedical an environmental utility of integrating renewable plant resources and CuO NPs versatilities for a sustainable future.

Recent Advances in Improving the Bioavailability of Hydrophobic/Lipophilic Drugs and Their Delivery via Self-Emulsifying Formulations Rakesh Kumar Ameta, Kunjal Soni, Ajaya Bhattarai Colloids and Interfaces, 2023 Formulations based on emulsions for enhancing hydrophobic and lipophilic drug delivery and its bioavailability have attracted a lot of interest. As potential therapeutic agents, they are integrated with inert oils, emulsions, surfactant solubility, liposomes, etc.; drug delivering systems that use emulsion formations have emerged as a unique and commercially achievable accession to override the issue of less oral bioavailability in connection with hydrophobic and lipophilic drugs. As an ideal isotropic oil mixture of surfactants and co-solvents, it self-emulsifies and forms fine oil in water emulsions when acquainted with aqueous material. As droplets rapidly pass through the stomach, fine oil promotes the vast spread of the drug all over the GI (gastrointestinal tract) and conquers the slow disintegration commonly seen in solid drug forms. The current status of advancement in technologies for drug carrying has promulgated the expansion of innovative drug carriers for the controlled release of self-emulsifying pellets, tablets, capsules, microspheres, etc., which got a boost for drug delivery usage with self-emulsification. The present review article includes various kinds of formulations based on the size of particles and excipients utilized in emulsion formation for drug delivery mechanisms and the increase in the bioavailability of lipophilic/hydrophobic drugs in the present time.
