Phenolic metabolites from Ceratonia siliqua L. pods: chemical characterization, soybean lipoxygenase-1 inhibition, and in vitro gallstone-dissolving capacity

Introduction Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L., Fabaceae) is a Mediterranean tree whose pods are rich in phenolic metabolites and are credited with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,hypolipidemic and antimicrobial properties. Methods The chemical composition of MECp was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupl...

Bioinspired Synthesis of Propolis-Capped Silver Nanoparticles for Rapid Azo Dye Adsorption: Experimental Performance, Thermodynamic Evaluation, Regeneration, and Computational Insights

The development of sustainable nanomaterials is essential for efficient wastewater treatment. This study evaluates silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), synthesized through an ecofriendly green route using Algerian propolis extract, as reusable nanoadsorbents for the rapid removal of Basic Blue 41 (BB41) from aqueous solutions...

Anti-Colitic Properties of Linum usitatissimum Alkaloid in Ulcerative Colitis Induced by Dextran Sodium Sulphate in BALB/c Mice

Inflammatory bowel disease, encompassing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, represents a growing global health burden, characterised by chronic intestinal inflammation, oxidative stress, and progressive mucosal barrier dysfunction. This study investigated the anti-colitic potential of the whole alkaloid extrac...

Agricultural waste adsorbents for pollutant removal: A combined theoretical and AI-driven study

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface, Vibrational Thermal Analyses, and NLO Properties of a New Hybrid Material: 2,4-Diamino-6-Phenyl-1,3,5-Triazinium Perchlorate, Supported by DFT Calculations

A novel organic–inorganic ionic crystal 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triaziniumperchlorate (C9H10N5+·ClO4−) was synthesized via the reaction of benzoguanamine with perchloric acid. Its structure was affined by single-crystal XRD and characterized by UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopies. It crystallizes in a monoclinic system,...

Combined effects of difenoconazole and salinity stress on growth, photosynthetic pigments, and oxidative responses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

Environmental contamination by pesticides and salts is a growing agricultural issue, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Difenoconazole (DIF), a commonly used fungicide, and sodium chloride (NaCl), a widespread salinity stressor, often coexist in soil and water, yet their combined effects on non-target crops such...
