There is a rapid spread of Multiple Sclerosis disorder across the globe, around 2.8 million cases of Multiple Sclerosis in the world. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination, neuroinflammation, and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Many drugs have been tested on MS patients but there is no effective treatment for MS till now. So to inhibit the symptoms caused by MS we performed a study in which we identified various naturally occurring materials with neuroprotective effects on the body that can treat Multiple Sclerosis. The therapeutic strategies portion of the paper reviews the array of disease-modifying therapies currently available for MS management. This paper evaluated their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety profiles. It also addressed emerging treatment paradigms by using different naturally occurring materials, including personalized medicine approaches and novel therapies in development. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge regarding MS, focusing on its pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies.

Over the past few decades, nanotechnology has gained momentum because of its potential to create a safer and healthier living environment using eco-friendly approaches. This study describes a safer, more dependable, and ecologically friendly technique of biologically synthesizing Cu/Fe/Ag trimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) using an aqueous leaf extract of Catharanthus roseus as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized trimetallic NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared, dynamic light scattering, and ultraviolet–visible analysis and were evaluated for their potential applications, which included antioxidant properties and catalytic dye degradation. The result suggests that the antioxidant properties of Cu/Fe/Ag NPs are more significant than those of ascorbic acid, a known antioxidant, at lower doses (10 µg·ml−1) while a higher dose of 1,000 µg·ml−1 gives a 69.81% scavenging activity. The impact of Cu/Fe/Ag trimetallic NPs on the catalytic degradation of hazardous dyes such as phenol red (PR) and eosin yellow (EY) was also studied in this work. For PR and EY, the corresponding percentages of degradation were 76% and 48.6%, respectively.

The utilisation of peel extracts for the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles has garnered attention because of their economical and environmentally friendly attributes, along with their potential for large-scale production. Among the metallic nanoparticles, silver is highly efficient against various pathogens, biocompatible and easy to incorporate into medicinal applications. This investigation focuses on the use of Solanum tuberosum peel extract (commonly known as potato peel), for formation of silver nanoparticles. UV–visible spectrometry revealed a distinctive AgNP peak at 471 nm, while XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of nanosilver, featuring an average crystallite size of 13.65 nm. Additionally, FESEM imaging revealed a nearly spherical surface morphology of the AgNPs, with notable clusters. Significant FTIR peaks indicated the presence of phytoconstituents, which acted as effective reducing agents during the AgNP synthesis. To evaluate the antibacterial efficacy, the synthesised AgNPs were evaluated using the agar-well diffusion method against six bacterial strains, including both gram-positive and gram-negative strains, with concentrations of 100, 500 and 1000 µg/ml. The results were compared to streptomycin (control), which exhibited the most substantial inhibition zone at a concentration of 1000 µg/ml, for Staphylococcus aureus (8 mm), Streptococcus pneumoniae (10 mm), Streptococcus anginosus (10 mm), Bacillus subtilis (10 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12 mm) and Escherichia coli (8 mm) were observed. This study highlights an innovative approach to repurposing frequently produced biowaste (potato peel) into functional nanomaterials possessing significant antibacterial properties, thus underscoring a novel strategy for waste disposal and the environmentally responsible production of nanoparticles.

Microbial desalination cell (MDC) is an emerging technology in which water is desalinated and energy is generated by the breakdown of organic compounds and catalyzed by microorganisms using the potential gradient created in the reactor. MDC efficacy is substantially influenced by the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurring at the cathode, albeit potential hindrances include sluggish reaction rates and biofouling development. The present study involved synthesizing and utilizing CoFe2O4@TiO2 2 O 4 @TiO 2 nanocomposite as a multifunctional catalyst on a cathode surface for efficient ORR and dye removal. XPS, HRTEM, and XRD techniques were used to ascertain the NPs' morphology, surface properties, dimensions, and XRD patterns. Physicochemical investigation showed that the nanoparticles had a consistent distribution, a mean diameter of 18.11 nm, and a spherical shape. Researchers tested MDCs with nanoparticles (NPs). The highest power density was 4.56 W/m3, 3 , 50 % more than the MDC with a lower loading density. The desalination efficiency was found to be 60 % at 1.5 mg/cm2 2 CoFe2O4@TiO2, 2 O 4 @TiO 2 , however, it was 80 and 81 % at 2.5 and 2.0 mg/cm2 2 catalyst concentrations, respectively. The dye degradation efficiency of as high as 88 % was observed with CoFe2O4@TiO2 2 O 4 @TiO 2 nanocomposite cathode MDC. The findings show that CoFe2O4@TiO2 2 O 4 @TiO 2 nanocomposite might be an economically feasible ORR catalyst, improving MDC efficiency and cost.

This work presents a sustainable process of synthesising Ag-Fe-Ni trimetallic nanoparticles from orange peel extract (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck), which functions as a reducing and capping agent. The nanoparticles were effectively synthesised and characterised using a number of methods, including UV-Vis, Zeta potential, FESEM, EDX, and XRD. The effectiveness of the anti-cancer, catalytic, and antioxidant properties were assessed. Molecular docking was conducted on the synthesised compounds to examine their potential in relation to the complex of ERK2 and catechol. According to the results, the molecules with the least binding energy was 15.55 kcal/mol. Also the synthesied nanoparticles showed increased antioxidant activity and the degradation of methyl red, phenol red, and eosin yellow. Ag-Fe-Ni trimetallic nanoparticles showed antioxidant activity of 89.94 % at 1000 mu g/mL. In 60 min, methyl red degraded to 97.67 %. The synthesised compounds have the potential to serve as lead compounds through further optimisation and have anti-cancer activities, as demonstrated by the results of molecular docking study. Thus, Ag-FeNi trimetallic nanoparticles generated from orange peel may serve as a novel antioxidant, catalytic, and anticancerous agent.
