Synthesis of rotenone loaded zein nano-formulation for plant protection against pathogenic microbes

Abstract

Schematic for the synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial study of RNZSC against P. syringae (antibacterial) and F. oxysporum (antifungal).

Development of biodegradable zein-based bilayer coatings for drug-eluting stents

“…11 The results obtained from our system, ZR single layer, are in accordance with the previous literature on drug-eluting zein matrices. 27,28,44 Morphological changes during degradation and drug release studies were investigated using SEM, aer rinsing the samples in deionized water, as described in paragraph 2.9. SEM images of the degraded coatings fabricated with zein and ZR are shown in Fig.…”

“…20,26 Several molecules and drugs have been incorporated and tested for their release from zein matrices, such as essential oils, dyes, and anti-microbial agents. 18,27,28 Different classes of drugs have been evaluated and employed for DES applications, such as anti-restenotic (e.g. sirolimus and paclitaxel), anti-inammatory (e.g.…”

Current and future prospects of “all-organic” nanoinsecticides for agricultural insect pest management

“…Likewise, solid lipids (beeswax) and essential natural oils (corn) are also successfully examined as biological matrixes for formulating nanosuspensions (Nguyen et al, 2012a;Nguyen et al, 2012b). Zein is a water-insoluble maizederived prolamine protein and has shown the potential to formulate AI's nanosuspension (Bidyarani and Kumar, 2019). Non-etheless, bio-nano-cellulose polymers (Kalia et al, 2011), citric acid-glycerol nanopolymers, and citric acid-glycerololeic acid nanopolymers (Shiri et al, 2019) have also been developed on different occasions, but their applications are restricted to medicinal purposes only.…”

Rotenone nanoparticles based on mesoporous silica to improve the stability, translocation and insecticidal activity of rotenone

“…Bidyarani used zein nanoparticles to encapsulate rotenone to prepare rotenone zein nanoparticles. Although it could have good antibacterial activity against plant pathogens-Pseudomonas syringa and Fusarium oxysporum, its particle size was too large to be easily absorbed by plants (Bidyarani and Kumar, 2019). Yusoff used oleoyl-carboxymethyl chitosan to successfully improve the water solubility of rotenone.…”
