    Role of Flavonoids in Inflammatory Lung Disorders
    (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2026) Gazala Noor, Badruddeen, Mohd Aftab Siddiqui
    Inflammatory lung disorders include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Due to their chronic nature, these conditions are a huge burden to the global health environment. These conditions have fewer options for therapy. Flavonoids, a diverse group of polyphenolic compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants, have emerged as promising agents in modulating inflammatory pathways associated with these disorders. This chapter covers the biochemical mechanisms involved in flavonoid activity, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory action. Through inhibition of main inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, ROS, and NF-κB, flavonoids may decrease inflammatory and oxidative stress reactions within the lungs, thereby preventing damage in lung tissue. The work reviews clinical and preclinical studies conducted on the effectiveness of specific flavonoids, including quercetin, hesperidin, and naringin, that have shown potential in diminishing symptoms and improving lung condition. Finally, challenges in the translation of flavonoid research into clinical practice, bioavailability and standardization among them, are discussed. This comprehensive analysis underlines the potential of flavonoids as adjunctive therapies in inflammatory lung disorders, offering new avenues for treatment and prevention strategies.

    Nanomaterials from Agricultural and Horticultural Products
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Husen, Azamal ed.; Jawaid, Mohammad ed.
    Nanotechnology is the state-of-the-art technology providing new horizons of ideas and scope to unlimited possibilities in almost all genres of day-today life ranging from diagnostic, therapeutic, agricultural, chemical to microelectronics, sensors, etc. In this connection, one of the main concerns regarding the metal-oxide nanoparticles is their synthesis, application in a safe mood to protect the overall toxic impact on the food web. To resolve this concern, a greener and cleaner method of producing the nanoparticles is being looked upon as a favorable alternative more commonly referred to as green chemistry or green synthesis. The metal-oxide nanoparticles synthesized from biological sources have demonstrated fulfilling properties and shown antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, drug delivery, catalytic activity, etc., response. In this chapter, the role of fruits and their wastes in the green synthesis of metal-oxide nanoparticles is discussed. This could efficiently reduce the cost and is safer for the environment thus allowing us to implore more on their benefits without impending much harm to the environment.
