Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known for their significant anticancer and antimicrobial activities in the field of medicine. In the present study, AgNPs were synthesized using a microwave-assisted green synthesis process, in which Ag(I) ions were reduced by organic compounds extracted from the leaves and stems of Phlomis linearis, an endemic plant which acted as both reducing and stabilizing agents. Although various species of the Phlomis genus have been studied in the literature, the synthesis of the nano-sized biogenic silver with reducing Ag(I) in the extract of the endemic plant P. linearis is reported here for the first study time, along with the evaluations of its bioactive properties. The obtained AgNPs were characterized by optical, structural, morphological, etc. techniques such as Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis.), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and photoluminescence (PL). Gas chromatography − mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and FT-IR techniques were used in order to evaluate the biochemical-reduction mechanism. When their antimicrobial activities were determined by the well diffusion method on six bacterial strains, the results showed that P. linearis exhibited antimicrobial activity against all tested bacteria. Additionally, the investigation of the anticancer activity of the particles by using the MTS method on a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and a healthy human cell population (human umbilical vein endothelial cells [HUVEC]) revealed that our AgNPs were more cytotoxic toward the cancerous cells compared to the non-cancerous ones (p < 0.001).

This case report study investigated the botanical, physicochemical, and phenolic compositions, as well as the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of varying amounts of black cumin honey (Nigella sativa) from Burdur region of Türkiye. The samples had an average moisture value of 17.23% and a Nigella sativa pollen ratio ranging from 19% to 51%. Electrical conductivity (EC) values ranged from 0.36 to 0.54 mS/cm. The average color values of Hunter (L, a, b) were 43.55 (L*), 32.77 (a*), and 64.52 (b*), respectively. The proline contents were ranged from 875 to 1624 mg/kg. The average F/G ratio and F+G value were 1.43±0.11 and 68.75±4.75, respectively. The average of total phenolic (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) contents were 36.87±7.00 mg GAE/100 g and 5.63±1.45 mg QUE/100 g, respectively. The antioxidant capacities of the samples were tested using the ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays, with mean values of 179.40±25.35 μmol FeSO4.7H2O/100 g and 46.07±12.87 mg/mL, respectively. The phenolic composition of the samples were tested using the HPLC-PDA method with 25 phenolic standards. Gallic acid, p-OH benzoic acid, t-cinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, chrysin, and pinocembrin were determined as common components. The samples exhibited high antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Chromobacterium violaceum, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter haemolyticus, but did not affect Candida albicans, Candida parapilopsis, or Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Yücel, Nur; İspirli, Hümeyra; Mercan, Emin; Erdoğan, Ümmügülsüm; Dertli, Enes
This study aimed to synthesize zinc nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities using alternan (ZnNPs-Alt) produced by Lactobacillus reuteri E81 as the stabilizing agent. For the characterization of the ZnNPs-Alt, UV–vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM and EDX analysis, XRD, FTIR and DSC analysis were applied. The functional role of ZnNPs-Alt was tested by determination of their antioxidant activities by DPPH and CUPRAC methodologies and their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Results of this study demonstrated that alternan was utilized as a successful stabilizer to produce crystalline, thermally stabile ZnNPs-Alt with a particle size of ∼ 100 nm. Importantly, strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were observed for ZnNPs-Alt in a concentration dependent manner. These findings confirmed the role of alternan as a stabilizing agent for the production of ZnNPs-Alt with functional roles.

Acet, Tuba; Özcan, Kadriye; Sefalı, Abdurrahman
Psephellus appendicigerus, is a plant endemic to Turkey, belonging to the Asteraceae family, which is traditionally used in folk medicine in Turkey. The aim of this study is to reveal for the first time the biological activities of this plant and evaluate its potential use as a natural product. For this reason, different extracts (ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) of the plant’s aerial parts were used in determining the antioxidant (2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assays), antimicrobial (disc diffusion and microdilution methods), and enzyme inhibition activity (calorimetric methods) related to diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase). Moreover, the phenolic constituents were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography. Methanol extract of the plant exhibited significant biological activity compared to other extracts. This extract had the highest amount of chlorogenic acid as phenolic compound. In addition, all extracts showed inhibition against at least one test microorganism. According to the results, P. appendicigerus has the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant, antimicrobial and enzyme inhibitor.
