Russia extracts anti-lung cancer drugs from tropical plants

Science and Technology Daily (Reporter Dong Yingxuan) Russia's National Research University MISIS has developed zinc oxide nano-bars to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. During the research and development process, the researchers obtained nano rods for the treatment of lung cancer from zinc acetate using extracts from nyguba chrysanthemum leaves grown in the rainforests of Andaman and Nicobar, India. The findings were published recently in the journal JOM.
zinc oxide nano-bars are used to treat a variety of diseases, such as injecting drugs into a patient's organs and obtaining images of affected areas of the body. Because zinc oxide nano-bars have antibacterial effects, cancer cell growth can be effectively inhibited by damaging the cell membranes of cancer cells. But the use of expensive equipment and toxic chemicals in the production of zinc oxide nanodrouts has been the focus of researchers' efforts to produce zinc oxide nanostates using green synthesis techniques from plants, fungi and bacteria.
was first discovered in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and is not known for its medical use, but it is used by Nicosta and other tribes to treat scorpion bites, skin allergies, etc.
Associate Professor of Physical Materials Science at the Russian State University of Technology said that nibaloon chrysanthemum leaf extract was mixed with zinc acetate to make a non-toxic nano-stick that held the resulting solution in a magnetic mixer for two hours; He said studies using nano-bars to inhibit the activity of human lung cancer cells have found that zinc oxide nano-bars cause oxidative stress, which destroys DNA and leads to the death of cancer cells. Using zinc oxide nano rods, lung cancer can also be targeted based on nanotechnology.
