Natural Antimicrobial Activity of Nettle (<i>Urtica dioica</i> L.) Leaf Extract for Shelf-Life Extension of Mashed Potatoes. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrNLE exhibited strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP values of 21.96 ± 0.76 and 17.51 ± 0.90 μmol Trolox/mL, and 5.93 ± 0.65 μmol Fe (II)/g, respectively. Cytotoxicity assessment using L929 fibroblast cells indicated that the extract was non‐toxic at concentrations relevant for antimicrobial application.

Nisin and nisin-loaded nanoparticles: a cytotoxicity investigation
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2022 Nisin is an antibacterial peptide with anticancer properties, but the main drawback is its rapid enzymatic degradation and limited permeation across the cell membrane. This research aims to overcome these drawbacks by developing nisin-loaded nanoparticles (NPN) with improved cytotoxic effects.
