The antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles: present situation and prospects for the future

International Journal of Nanomedicine, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: Volume 12, P. 1227 - 1249

Published: Feb. 1, 2017

Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used to target bacteria as an alternative antibiotics. Nanotechnology may be particularly advantageous in treating bacterial infections. Examples include the utilization of NPs antibacterial coatings for implantable devices and medicinal materials prevent infection promote wound healing, antibiotic delivery systems treat disease, detection generate microbial diagnostics, vaccines control The mechanisms poorly understood, but currently accepted oxidative stress induction, metal ion release, non-oxidative mechanisms. multiple simultaneous action against microbes would require gene mutations same cell resistance develop; therefore, it is difficult cells become resistant NPs. In this review, we discuss factors that involved. limitations current research also discussed.

The Advancing of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 2018, P. 1 - 18

Published: July 5, 2018

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used in an increasing number of industrial products such as rubber, paint, coating, and cosmetics. In the past two decades, ZnO NPs have become one most popular metal biological applications due to their excellent biocompatibility, economic, low toxicity. emerged a promising potential biomedicine, especially fields anticancer antibacterial fields, which involved with potent ability trigger excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, release zinc ions, induce cell apoptosis. addition, is well known keep structural integrity insulin. So, also been effectively developed for antidiabetic treatment. Moreover, show luminescent properties turned them into main candidates bioimaging. Here, we summarize synthesis recent advances biomedical will be helpful facilitating future research progress focusing on fields.

Photoluminescent ZnO Nanoparticles and Their Biological Applications

Materials, Journal Year: 2015, Volume and Issue: 8(6), P. 3101 - 3127

Published: May 29, 2015

During the past decades, numerous achievements concerning luminescent zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been reported due to their improved luminescence and good biocompatibility. The photoluminescence of ZnO NPs usually contains two parts, exciton-related ultraviolet (UV) emission defect-related visible emission. With respect emission, many routes developed synthesize functionalize for applications in detecting metal ions biomolecules, biological fluorescence imaging, nonlinear multiphoton lifetime imaging. As develop rapidly, toxicity has attracted more attention because can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) release Zn2+ ions. Just as a coin sides, both drug delivery antibacterial effects become attractive at same time. Hence, this review, we will focus on progress synthetic methods, properties, NPs.
