There are different types of conventional approaches are used for the synthesis of nanoparticles like physical and chemical techniques. But above approaches used for nanoparticles synthesis is not eco-friendly due to the production of toxic compounds during nanoparticles formation. Therefore, interest in the green synthesis of nanoparticles has been increased. The green synthesis of nanoparticles is an eco-friendly and convenient approach in which there are no adverse effects on the environment. The production of nanoparticles by green synthesis minimizes time and can obtain desired size and shape to increase the constancy of nanoparticles. The living organisms like plant, bacteria, algae, and fungi are known to be capable for production of metals nanoparticles through the intracellular or extracellular mode of biosynthesis. The main reason of involvement of plants, algae especially microorganisms in the production of metal nanoparticles are to develop, immaculate, harmless and environmentally protected production processes for nano synthesis to diminish environmental impact, minimize waste and boost energy efficiency. Therefore, the present review focus on methods concerned on the...

Mushrooms can be considered as a prolific resource for drugs as per previous literature surveys. Their constituent bioactive components are broadly classified such as phenols, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins. Whole mushrooms or mainly fruiting bodies extracts and compounds isolated from their mycelium are of immense pharmacological importance. Extraction employing suitable solvents leads to the isolation of various principle compounds. Pure compounds can also be isolated from natural material or can be synthesized chemically. 80-85% of all medicinal mushroom products are isolated from fruiting bodies. 15% of all products are obtained from mycelia. Cultivation of mushrooms requires minimal resources; therefore the development of cultivation farm helps for creating employment for various people in many parts of the country. Many kinds of literature have already reported the detailed chemical bioactive constituents of the extracts prepared from mushrooms via various extraction methods. These compounds are of immense therapeutic importance, and some of them have already become a part of clinical trials as an adjuvant therapy along with the conservative therapy applied for patients...

Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vasculature. It is a key process in some physiological conditions such as wound healing, growth and reproduction. Any disturbance in mechanisms of angiogenesis plays a key role in the pathogenesis of some diseases through the over-proliferation of blood vessels such as cancers, psoriasis, arthritis, retinopathies, obesity, asthma, and atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, which have the highest rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Anti-angiogenic therapy has been proved to be a potential cure in the past decades for a number of cancers. Still, antiangiogenic therapy has to be realized to its fullest potential to turn cancer into a dormant disease. Many angiogenic inhibitors have been developed till date, and the main problem is the multiple angiogenic molecules produced by tumors and tumors at different stages of development. Therefore, blocking a single angiogenic molecule has less effect or no effect. Selection of a suitable model for angiogenesis research remains a challenge. Thus, in recent years, several models for evaluation of angiogenesis...

Several plants across the world possess specific therapeutic and diagnostic properties. The identification of the properties among them is the most difficult task. Several researchers have used several methodologies to express the therapeutic properties in the plants. The interest of scientists among the anticancer studies has been increasing widely as cancer has become one of the deadliest diseases. The usage of different parts of the plant and using the different extracting solvents has shown effective results on different types of cancer cell lines. Several plants synthesize metabolites which possess anticancer properties that have been used in the development of drugs by clinical trials. The application of nanoparticles from plants in cancer treatment has been regarded as a successful method recently. The present review aims at the study of a broad spectrum of plants having anticancer properties using the in-vitro analysis of particular cell lines. The anticancer activity was analyzed by different assays such as MTT assay, “Alamar Blue” Resazurin reduction assay, SRB assay, and WST-1 assay. The results were...

Indian coastline stretches about 5700 km covering 9 states on the mainland and about 7500 km including islands and union territories. Seaweeds, a renewable natural resource, found growing in large quantities along the Indian coast. Seaweeds are currently worldwide interest in finding new and safe promising organisms for health. It is one of the important essential producers of biomass in the marine environment. Seaweeds are not only of high ecological but also of great economic importance as they produce a wide variety of chemically active metabolites in their surroundings. The potential uses of algal biomass for the benefit of mankind have been intensively reviewed in the last few years. Marine algae have been used as a novel food with potential nutritional benefits in industry and medicine for various purposes. Furthermore, marine algae have shown to provide a rich source of natural bioactive compounds with antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypercholesterolemia and hypolipidemic and antineoplastic properties, etc. The present review is focusing on the bioactivities and potential pharmacological...
