“…However, there is a prevailing perception that cancer nanomedicine has not fully delivered on its initial promise, largely due to the limited number of licensed drugs and their clinical performance [213]. Magnetic NPs have emerged as a versatile biomedical platform, offering a wide range of applications and controllable parameters that significantly impact the treatment's effectiveness [214,215]. Fe NPs have a long history of clinical usage, and their use has produced a wide range of therapeutic products [216,217].…”

In recent years, nanotechnology has achieved a remarkable status in shaping the future of biological applications, especially in combating fungal diseases. Owing to excellence in nanotechnology, iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) have gained enormous attention in recent years. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive overview of Fe NPs covering key synthesis approaches and underlying working principles, the factors that influence their properties, essential characterization techniques, and the optimization of their antifungal potential. In addition, the diverse kinds of Fe NP delivery platforms that command highly effective release, with fewer toxic effects on patients, are of great significance in the medical field. The issues of biocompatibility, toxicity profiles, and applications of optimized Fe NPs in the field of biomedicine have also been described because these are the most significant factors determining their inclusion in clinical use. Besides this, the difficulties and regulations that exist in the transition from laboratory to experimental clinical studies (toxicity, specific standards, and safety concerns) of Fe NPs-based antifungal agents have been also summarized.

BackgroundZinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were obtained through precipitation synthesis, using aqueous water hyacinth leaf extract (Eichhornia crassipes) under alkaline conditions. The effect of the extract on the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of the ZnO was evaluated starting from concentrated extract (labeled as E100) and performing two dilutions of this concentrated extract at 50 and 25% in water (E50, and E25).ResultsThe FTIR spectra revealed, strong peaks around 3440 cm‐1, corresponding to vibrations from O‐H stretching and medium‐intense peaks at 1384, and 1327 cm‐1, assigned to C=C, ‐COOH, and C‐O‐C vibrations, which are related to the presence of the extract; a weak band at 884 cm‐1, and a broad band in the region below 600 cm‐1, indicate the presence of Zn‐O. The hydrodynamic size of the ZnOE100, ZnOE50, and ZnOE25 samples were 202, 244, and 313 nm, respectively. No significant variations on the Eg value were observed. FESEM images showed that the ZnO NPs have triangular‐like shapes, and agglomeration of the nanoparticles synthesized for the ZnOE25 sample. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the ZnO NPs showed no significant effects related to the concentration the plant extract used.Conclusionsvariations in particle size and zeta potential can be introduced in the ZnO varying the content of the extract, the presence of organic groups from the extract, along with positive zeta potential value, can promote the bactericide effect of ZnO nanomaterials prepared by bio‐assisted synthesis.This article is protected by copyright.
