Epigallocatechin gallate is the most abundant catechin, it is present in plants, Solanum nigrum is a medicinal plant with many phytochemicals in them. The cell cycle is a normal process although if controlled can lead to cancer, the uncontrolled proliferation of the cells are controlled by the antioxidant compounds present in them. This present study is to done on the fact that antioxidants in plants act as anticancer agents.Keywords

The non enzymic antioxidant activities in the leaves of Zeamays were identified in four different time periods of their growth namely 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th day after their sowing. The results showed that all the non enzymic antioxidants were found to increase with the age of the leaves. The hepatoprotective effect of Zeamays leaves were analyzed by using in vivo model and inferred that CCl4 induces the liver cirrohosis and it was controlled by Zeamays leaves extract group and Vitamin-E group . The antimutagenic activity of Zeamays leaves were confirmed in Ames testKeywords

Objectives: In the present study, synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles was prepared by chemical reduction method. This synthesized metal oxide nanoparticles were targeted to study the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was seen by resazurin dye reduction method and disc diffusion method. Further, the effects of nanoparticles on enzyme activity (β- glucosidase) were seen in Escherichia coli. The physical interaction between metal oxides nanoparticles with protein (Ovalbumin) were studied to interrupt the conjugate forming properties. Toxicity studies of the metal oxide nanoparticles on human pathogens open the door for a new range of antibacterial agents. Results: There is a lot of interest among the researchers for developing various protocols for the fabrication of other metal nanoparticles. However, these have been a constant research regarding the use of biological systems, friendly and rapid techniques. Conclusion: The potential application of the nanomaterials-protein conjugates are limited only to novel techniques such as therapeutics in cancer, as drug delivery vehicles, smart nanocomposites, in bioremediation of industrial effluents, biodegradation of effluents and for water purification.Keywords
