Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of metals: mechanisms, molecular targets and applications
TL;DR: The chemical and toxicological principles that underlie the antimicrobial activity of metals are described and the preferences of metal atoms for specific microbial targets are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles: biomolecule-nanoparticle organizations targeting antimicrobial activity
TL;DR: The recent advances in green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, their application as antimicrobial agents and mechanism of antimicrobial mode of action are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of antibacterial activity of copper nanoparticles.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that NP-mediated dissipation of cell membrane potential was the probable reason for the formation of cell filaments and proposes that the nascent Cu ions liberated from the NP surface were responsible for higher reactivity of the Cu-NPs than the equivalent amount of its precursor CuCl2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactivity, mechanism of action, and cytotoxicity of copper-based nanoparticles: A review
TL;DR: This article critically reviewed the bioactivities and cytotoxicity of copper nanoparticles and focused on possible mechanism involved in its interaction with microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles using Gloriosa superba L. extract and their antibacterial activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO Nps) using Gloriosa superba L. extract as fuel by solution combustion synthesis, their characterization and studies are presented.

Dietary reference intakes: vitamin A, vitamin K, arsenic, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, vanadium, and zinc.
TL;DR: The DRIs represent the new approach adopted by the Food and Nutrition Board to providing quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes for use in a variety of settings, replacing and expanding on the past 50 years of periodic updates and revisions of the Recommended Dietary Allowances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metals, toxicity and oxidative stress.
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent findings in the metal-induced formation of free radicals and the role of oxidative stress in the carcinogenicity and toxicity of metals.

Oxidative mechanisms in the toxicity of metal ions
Sidney J. Stohs,Debasis Bagchi +1 more
TL;DR: Some mechanisms associated with the toxicities of metal ions are very similar to the effects produced by many organic xenobiotics, related to differences in solubilities, absorbability, transport, chemical reactions, and the complexes that are formed within the body.

Strain specificity in antimicrobial activity of silver and copper nanoparticles
TL;DR: The antimicrobial properties of silver and copper nanoparticles were investigated using Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and found that while silver was in its pure form, an oxide layer existed on the Copper nanoparticles.
