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...

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

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...
