“…In the case of the nanoparticles, it is known that the range and morphology of nanoparticles can be changed by changing the synthesis method and stoichiometric parameters. Like other nanostructures, ZnO has morphological properties, so the choice of synthesis technique has paramount importance in determining the features of the nanoparticle [34][35][36][37]. This study highlights the latest advancements specifically in numerous applications of sol-gel ZnO nanoparticles.…”

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) exhibit numerous characteristics such as biocompatibility, UV protection, antibacterial activity, high thermal conductivity, binding energy, and high refractive index that make them ideal candidates to be applied in a variety of products like solar cells, rubber, cosmetics, as well as medical and pharmaceutical products. Different strategies for ZnO nanoparticles’ preparation have been applied: sol-gel method, co-precipitation method, etc. The sol-gel method is an economic and efficient chemical technique for nanoparticle (NPs) generation that has the ability to adjust the structural and optical features of the NPs. Nanostructures are generated from an aqueous solution including metallic precursors, chemicals for modifying pH using either a gel or a sol as a yield. Among the various approaches, the sol-gel technique was revealed to be one of the desirable techniques for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. In this review, we explain some novel investigations about the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles via sol-gel technique and applications of sol-gel zinc oxide nanoparticles. Furthermore, we study recent sol-gel ZnO nanoparticles, their significant characteristics, and their applications in biomedical applications, antimicrobial packaging, drug delivery, semiconductors, biosensors, catalysts, photoelectron devices, and textiles.

“…Chitosan (C 6 H 11 NO 4 ) is a polysaccharide polymer and chitin derivative. This NP is widely used because of non-toxicity, cost-effective, its high absorption properties, and biocompatibility [46,47]. Ghasemzade et al's study approved that chitosan could enhance the antibacterial efficiency of ursolic acid with increasing aqueous solubility of this material.…”

A nanoparticle-drug delivery system against Staphylococcus aureus, especially Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, has been recently proposed as an alternative pathway therapy. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus is resistance to many antibiotics, making it a a threat to human life, especially for older and immunocompromised people. Treatment of Multidrug-resistant staphylococcus aureus is considered an urgent need. A variety of kinds of nanoparticle-drug delivery systems with different compositions, and biological properties have been extensively investigated against Staphylococcus aureus. This review summarizes the novel nanoparticle-drug delivery systems against Staphylococcus aureus. These nanoparticle-drug delivery systems could reduce antibiotic resistance and minimize side effects of the antibiotics. Also, they can deliver a high concentration of the drugs and eliminate the bacteria in a specific and targeted site of infection. Despite these benefits of nanoparticle-drug delivery systems, the cytotoxicity, stress oxidative, genotoxicity, and inflammation that may occur in vivo and in vitro should not be ignored. Therefore, we need a better knowledge of the pharmacological properties and safety concerns of nanoparticle-drug delivery systems. The limitations of each nanoparticle-drug delivery system with high therapeutic potential have to be considered for further design.
