Research ArticleOpen accessTotal Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Silver Nanoparticles using Aqueous Extract of Chilca Leaves (Baccharis latifolia)Fernanda Pilaquinga, Camila Granja, Eliza Jara et al.The importance of studying polyphenols as natural antioxidants has encouraged the search for new methods of rapid, simple analysis. The synthesis of silver Nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using plant extracts has been presented as an alternative to determine the presence of polyphenolic compounds. In this study, aqueous extract of chilca (Baccharis latifolia), an endemic plant species from South America known for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2021 · 8,341 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessment of the Toxic Effects of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles on Drosophila melanogasterDoris Vela, Jonathan Rondal, Sofía Cárdenas et al.Nanoparticles are a cause for concern because of their potential toxic effects on human health and the environment. The aim of this study was to assess the toxic effect of chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (11.00±4.7 nm) on Drosophila melanogaster through the observation of hemolymph composition, DNA damage, larval survival and lifespan of flies. Chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2020 · 7,882 accessesView PDF Cite
