Production of AgNPs can be occurred through different method chemical, physical, and green methods. The most popular methods are chemical approaches. Marine organisms exhibit a wide range of bioactivity. The present study was designed to establish the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from marine crustacean extract of the hard and soft parts of male and female E. massavensis. The microstructure, morphology and optical absorption properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible spectroscopy. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by Uv-Vis absorption and the spectra were observed plasmon bands between 441.79–462.74 nm. XRD results show that the nanoparticles are crystalline in nature. SEM images detected the quasi-spherical AgNPs morphological shape. Silver nanoparticles from marine crustacean extract of the hard part of male E. massavensis (HM4) showed the best results in morphology and particle size. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of AgNPs (HM4) on different cancer cell lines antiviral, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, anti-arthritic, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties were assessed. AgNPs characterization may be introduced a promising applications in medical aspects.","PeriodicalId":22429,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"2 1","pages":"0-0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90200824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their applications on agriculture, food and medicine are widely used nowadays. Agro-waste materials cause a global environmental problem worldwide. Maximizing the benefits of such waste material is a very important issue. The present investigation aimed to use nano-formulation techniques by using polyethylene glycol 8000 to produce nano-lycopene extracted from tomato waste (pomace) as well as evaluation the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activity of produced lycopene-NPs. The results of antioxidant activity using ABTS and DPPH assays revealed that nano-formulation of Lycopene increases the scavenging activity compared with lycopene. Also, both lycopene and lycopene-NPs showed antibacterial activity against all tested bacteria and antifungal activity against tested fungal species. MIC for lycopene and lycopene-NPs was determined. DNA damage induced by oxidative stress protection analysis indicated that lycopene-NPs has a great potential in DNA damage prevention compared to their respective controls. The MTT assay exhibited cytotoxic activity against three cancerous cell lines, MCF-7, HCT-116 and HepG2. As well as lycopene-NPs biosafety was tested against normal cell lines (BJ-1 and MCF-12F) compared to lycopene.","PeriodicalId":22429,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"38 1","pages":"3739-3749"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72583228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanical characteristics of modified asphalt binder were studied using dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Two types of sweep tests were conducted on virgin and modified asphalt binder to study the effects of temperature and frequency on binder performance. Elastic recovery of modified asphalt binder was also investigated using the stress relaxation mode in DMA.
