“…In a study, greenly synthesized copper nanoparticles using avocado seeds have shown antioxidant activity of nearly 17% to 22% [113]. Similarly, Wu et al [36] have recorded the maximum antioxidant activity of 21% for CuNPs produced using Cissus vitiginea, where the colour change from violet to yellow indicates that DPPH is decreased by donating hydrogen atoms with high scavenging activity [114]. In the above cases, the phytochemicals of the plant extract have a role in the enhancement of antioxidant activity.…”

The usage of nanoparticles became inevitable in medicine and other fields when it was found that they could be administered to hosts to act as oxidants or antioxidants. These oxidative nanoparticles act as pro-oxidants and induce oxidative stress-mediated toxicity through the generation of free radicals. Some nanoparticles can act as antioxidants to scavenge these free radicals and help in maintaining normal metabolism. The oxidant and antioxidant properties of nanoparticles rely on various factors including size, shape, chemical composition, etc. These properties also help them to be taken up by cells and lead to further interaction with cell organelles/biological macromolecules, leading to either the prevention of oxidative damage, the creation of mitochondrial dysfunction, damage to genetic material, or cytotoxic effects. It is important to know the properties that make these nanoparticles act as oxidants/antioxidants and the mechanisms behind them. In this review, the roles and mechanisms of nanoparticles as oxidants and antioxidants are explained.

The increase in malaria morbidity and mortality due to artemisinin derivative resistance was a global problem. Marine biota, curry fish or Sticophus hermanni was known to have bioactive components that are antibacterial and antifungal. The purpose of the study was to observe phytochemical tests and antimalarial activity of golden sea cucumber, curry fish using two types of solvents with different polarities using In vtro studies. The study was a true experimental study withIn vtro protocols, which included: (P1), control negative; (P2) P. falciparum medium with n-hexane extract of curry fish; (P3) P.falciparum medium with ethyl acetate extract of curry fish. The parameters were as follows: phytochemical assay, growth %, inhibitory rate, and IC50. The phytochemical analysis found various bioactive components in the ethyl acetate extract, including flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, and tannins, whereas the n-hexane extract includes fewer active components, including flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, and tannins. The extract's antimalarial action is demonstrated by a decrease in parasite growth, a rise in the inhibitory rate with increasing extract dose, and IC50 less than 5 µg/ml when administered with ethyl acetate and n-hexane. Both solvents in curry fish extract displayed high antimalarial activity; however, n-hexane had a lower IC50 than ethyl acetate.
