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.

“…In nanotechnology, various metals like Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Platinum (Pt), Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni) and Cobalt (Co), are used to synthesize metallic and green nanoparticles, which have proven to be effective for antimicrobial therapy, and are involved in the treatment of cancer, bacterial infections and inflammation (Chandrakala et al, 2022). Iron oxide NPs are proven to be effective in eliminating various types of heavy metal ions and organic compounds (Tan et al, 2023). ZnO NPs are antimicrobial agents and one of the theories explains "Trojan Horse effect" for them which means nanoparticles are degraded inside the cellular lysosomes which results in the release of metal ions and other harmful elements that ultimately disrupt the cellular reproduction (Pushpalatha et al, 2022).…”

Foodborne pathogens are zoonotic and multidrug resistant, which are not only affecting economy but also accountable for public health burdens. The present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of medicinal plant i.e., Eucalyptus camaldulensis extract mediated Fe3O4 and ZnO nanoparticles against the 27 foodborne pathogenic strains, isolated from milk, meat, dry fruits and vegetable samples collected from Multan, Pakistan. In phytochemical screening, the plant extract was found to contain numerous bioactive compounds including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, quinones, and anthocyanins. Fe3O4 NPs synthesized from Eucalyptus camaldulensis displayed the highest antibacterial activity with zones of inhibition of 12-13mm against pathogens. Fe3O4 NPs were found to have highest anti-inflammatory potential with recorded percentage of 67% at 40 μg/ml. Fe3O4 NPs also demonstrated the highest antibiofilm activity after 120 hours of incubation. For DDPH antioxidant assay, the highest antioxidant activity was displayed by Fe3O4 NPs and their absorbance recorded was 1.43. Therefore, Eucalyptus camaldulensis mediated Fe3O4 NPs proved as an effective and eco-friendly approach to combat multidrug resistance in bacterial infections throughcharacteristic antibacterial, antibiofilm and antioxidant properties.

In this study, we analysed the potential use of dried strawberry leaves and calyces for the production of nanoparticles using inorganic iron compounds. We used the following iron precursors FeCl3 × 6H2O, FeCl2 × 4H2O, Fe(NO3)3 × 9H2O, Fe2(SO4)3 × H2O, FeSO4 × 7H2O, FeCl3 anhydrous. It was discovered that the content of polyphenols and flavonoids in dried strawberries and their antioxidant activity in DPPH and FRAP were 346.81 µM TE/1 g and 331.71 µM TE/1 g, respectively, and were similar to these of green tea extracts. Microimages made using TEM techniques allowed for the isolation of a few nanoparticles with dimensions ranging from tens of nanometres to several micrometres. The value of the electrokinetic potential in all samples was negative and ranged from −21,300 mV to −11,183 mV. XRF analyses confirmed the presence of iron ranging from 0.13% to 0.92% in the samples with a concentration of 0.01 mol/dm3. FT-IR spectra analyses showed bands characteristic of nanoparticles. In calorimetric measurements, no increase in temperature was observed in any of the tests during exposure to the electromagnetic field. In summary, using the extract from dried strawberry leaves and calyxes as a reagent, we can obtain iron nanoparticles with sizes dependent on the concentration of the precursor.
