“…Recent works have mentioned chemotherapy with benzimidazole derivatives which may cause many side effects, like hepatotoxicity, teratogenicity, Hematuria, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and osteoporosis (Moro and Schantz 2009;Eriksen and Agopian 2017). Nowadays, medication is motivated to use green biosynthesized nanoparticles as novel protoscolicidal agents, such as silver, zinc oxide, and others within in vitro and in vivo models (Shnawa et al 2021b;Hamad et al 2022). In previous works, we reviewed the publication regarding the possibility of using nanoparticles as a new approach for CE treatment (Shnawa 2018;Shnawa et al 2021a).…”

Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important zoonotic diseases that cause a serious threat to human life, both healthily and economically. Herein, we aimed to update information and highlight the immune response against cystic echinococcosis. The evading mechanisms and the modulation of the immune system by E.granulosus metacestode are also addressed. Several investigations demonstrated that E. granulosus is immunogenic, inducing pro-inflammatory cellular stimuli, including the production of antibodies/T cell-and other cell-mediated responses in different intermediate hosts, including humans. Recently, several studies have characterized the protective antigens of E. granulosus and their role in immunizing various animal host species. Recent results proved that DNA vaccines with antigen B and recombinant protein vaccines produced from EG95 antigen possess the best outcome and elicit protective immunity. This chapter summarizes the consensus on CE's immunology and strengthens previous findings with results from relevant and recent investigations.

“…Based on the preceding literature reports, ZnO NPs have been greensynthesized from numerous plant extracts such as Azadirachta indica, 28,29 Passiflora caerulea, 30 Aloe vera, 31 Vitex trifolia, 32 Trifolium pratense, 33 Bauhinia tomentosa, 34 Cinnamomum Verum, 35 Camellia sinensis, 36 Artocarpus gomezianus, 37 Duranta erecta, 38 Matricaria chamomilla, Olea europaea, and Lycopersicon esculentum, 39 and their antimicrobial activities were also reported. In continuation of recent works [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] regarding green synthesis nanomaterials, we have green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles using dill (Anethum graveolens) leaf extract and employed it for producing pyrazolopyridazine derivatives.…”

“…The novelty of this study is that it used green synthesis to manufacture SiO 2 NPs from their first product (Na 2 SiO 3 ), completing their approach entirely using green synthesis. This investigation is our ongoing study in the green synthesis NPs area [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Green synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles from Rhus coriaria L. extract: Comparison with chemically synthesized SiO2 nanoparticles

et al. 2022

The usage of the green synthesis method to produce nanoparticles (NPs) has received great acceptance among the scientific community in recent years. This, perhaps, is owing to its eco-friendliness and the utilization of non-toxic materials during the synthesizing process. The green synthesis approach also supplies a reducing and a capping agent, which increases the stability of the NPs through the available phytochemicals in the plant extractions. The present study describes a green synthesis method to produce nano-silica (SiO2) NPs utilizing Rhus coriaria L. extract and sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3.5H2O) under reflux conditions. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to the mixture to control the pH of the solution. Then, the obtained NPs have been compared with the chemically synthesized SiO2 NPs. The structure, thermal, and morphological properties of the SiO2 NPs, both green synthesized and chemically synthesized, were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Also, the elemental compassion distribution was studied by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). In addition, the zeta potential, dynamic light scatter (DLS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the stability, thermal properties, and surface area of the SiO2 NPs. The overall results revealed that the green synthesis of SiO2 NPs outperforms chemically synthesized SiO2 NPs. This is expected since the green synthesis method provides higher stability, enhanced thermal properties, and a high surface area through the available phytochemicals in the Rhus coriaria L. extract.
