TL;DR: The leaf extracts with proven antibacterial effects can clearly be directed towards cancer treatment as to inhibiting cancer cell growth and the effect of strong bursts of leaf extracts on human pathogenic bacteria should be tested on a wide range of test organisms.

TL;DR: Some new mixed ligand complexes of type ML'B and Schiff base metal complexes of types (ML2") and (M2L) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies and show more potent activities compared with Schiff base ligands.
Abstract: Some new mixed ligand complexes (1-5) of type ML'B (M(II)=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); HL'= o-vanillidene-2-aminobenzothiazole; B= 1,10-phenanthroline) and Schiff base metal complexes of types (ML 2 ") (6-10) and (M 2 L") (11-15) (HL"= o-vanillidene-2-amino-N-(2-pyridyl)-benzene sulfonamide) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral (IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR) studies. The free ligands and their metal complexes have been screened for their in vitro biological activities against bacteria, fungi and yeast. The metal complexes show more potent activities compared with Schiff base ligands.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the leaf aqueous extracts of H. indicum and green synthesis of silver nanoparticles have the potential to be used as an ideal ecofriendly approach for the control of A. stephensi, A. aegypti, and C. quinquefasciatus.
Abstract: Mosquitoes transmit dreadful diseases to human beings wherein biological control
of these vectors using plant-derived molecules would be an alternative to reduce
mosquito population. In the present study activity of aqueous leaf extract and
silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using Helitropium
indicum plant leaves against late third instar larvae of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles
stephensi and Culex
quinquefasciatus. The range of varying concentrations of synthesized
AgNPs (8, 16, 24, 32, and 40 μg/mL) and aqueous leaf extract (30, 60, 90, 120, and
150 μg/mL) were tested against the larvae of Anopheles
stephensi, Aedes aegypti, and
Culex quinquefasciatus. The synthesized AgNPs
from H. indicum were highly toxic than crude leaf
aqueous extract in three important vector mosquito species. The results were
recorded from UV–Vis spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning
electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, transmission
electron microscopy, and histogram. The synthesized AgNPs showed larvicidal effects
after 24 h of exposure. Considerable mortality was evident after the treatment of
H. indicum for all three important vector
mosquitoes. The LC50 and LC90 values
of H. indicum aqueous leaf extract appeared to be
effective against A. stephensi
(LC50, 68.73 μg/mL; LC90,
121.07 μg/mL) followed by A. aegypti
(LC50, 72.72 μg/mL; LC90,
126.86 μg/mL) and C. quinquefasciatus
(LC50, 78.74 μg/mL; LC90,
134.39 μg/mL). Synthesized AgNPs against the vector mosquitoes of A. stephensi, A.
aegypti, and C. quinquefasciatus had
the following LC50 and LC90 values:
A. stephensi had LC50
and LC90 values of 18.40 and 32.45 μg/mL, A. aegypti had LC50 and
LC90 values of 20.10 and 35.97 μg/mL, and C. quinquefasciatus had LC50 and
LC90 values of 21.84 and 38.10 μg/mL. No mortality was
observed in the control. These results suggest that the leaf aqueous extracts of
H. indicum and green synthesis of silver
nanoparticles have the potential to be used as an ideal ecofriendly approach for the
control of A. stephensi, A. aegypti, and C.
quinquefasciatus. This is the first report on the mosquito larvicidal
activity of the plant extracts and synthesized nanoparticles.
