“…In recent years, Azadirachta indica, commonly known as Neem, has gained worldwide prominence due to its wide range of medicinal properties [17][18][19][20]. About 150 compounds have been isolated from different components of Neem to display various properties like immunomodulatory, antiinflammatory, antihyperglycemic, anti-fungal, antibacterial and cytotoxicity [21][22][23][24][25]. On the inhibitory activity of Neem and Stevia extract on Streptococcus mutans, multiple cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have been performed to date.…”

Introduction: Mouth wash are generally utilized as subordinates to oral cleanliness and in the conveyance of dynamic specialists to the teeth and gums. These flushes can impact plaque development and adjust the course of gingival irritation. Azadirachta indica (Neem) was utilized to treat different skin illnesses, as a disinfectant substance and as a natural mouthwash. Stevia rebaudiana can inhibit the growth of microorganisms that are responsible for dental caries. Aim: This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity from Neem and Stevia based Mouthwash. Materials and Methods: Plant extract was prepared and an antimicrobial and cytotoxic effect was done by considering various parameters. The antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles prepared using plant extract was investigated and the results of the test were described as the standard deviation and analyzed. For the cytotoxic activity, an ELISA plate was used, wherein the mortality rate of the nauplii was estimated with the plant extract mediated nanoparticles at different concentrations. Data’s were statistically analyzed by Spearman correlation through SPSS version 23. Results: Anti-microbial activity showed positive correlation with increase in concentration (r=1). The cytotoxic activity showed negative correlation with the number of live nauplii decreased in the second day when compared to the first day suggesting that the extract has potent cytotoxic activity (r=-1). Conclusion: Neem and Stevia extract helped us to detect the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxic effect on the various species in different concentration levels. The study needs to be evaluated further for isolating the possible compounds to test the effectiveness of antimicrobial activity in the oral cavity of the human body to prevent various diseases.

Water is one of the basic needs for all living and nonliving things. It is important to sustain the available water resources effectively for future generations. A lot of studies are employed already to improve the performance of solar desalination systems rather than conventional methods. Subsequently, an experimental approach is proposed with energy, exergy, economic, environmental, exergoenvironmental, exergoeconomic, and enviroeconomic performance of photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) solar distillation system using two methods to enhance the fresh water yield production at feasible cost. First is the conventional solar still (CSS) with PV and second is PV with double fan solar still (DFSS) with optimized running time of the double fan, which increases the productivity of the solar distillation system. The results show that average daily energy and exergy efficiency of the system improve with DFSS (19.98%, 1.36%) than CSS (11.74%, 0.36%). The daily yield productivity of CSS is 1.618 L m−2 and is increased as 2.482 L m−2 with DFSS. Average cost of water yield production is also reduced with DFSS and estimated as 0.018$, 0.016$, and 0.015$ for the lifetime of 15, 20, and 30 years for CSS and 0.014, 0.013, and 0.012$ for DFSS. Overall, the proposed methodology shows promising results than the conventional approach.
