Polymers of natural origin, such as representatives various polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose, dextran, hyaluronic acid, gellan gum, etc.), and their derivatives, have a long tradition in biomedical applications. Among them, the use chitosan safe, biocompatible, environmentally friendly heteropolysaccharide has been particularly intensively researched over last two decades. The potential using for medical purposes is reflected its unique cationic nature, viscosity-increasing gel-forming ability, non-toxicity living cells, antimicrobial activity, mucoadhesiveness, biodegradability, well possibility chemical modification. intuitive clay minerals treatment superficial wounds known traditional medicine thousands years. To improve efficacy overcome ubiquitous bacterial resistance, beneficial properties utilized preparation chitosan–clay mineral bionanocomposites. focus this review on composites containing with montmorillonite halloysite minerals. This highlights antibacterial bionanocomposites drug delivery topical skin infections wound healing. Finally, an overview preparation, characterization, possible future perspectives related to these advancing applications presented.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have emerged as a promising solution to combat biofilm-related infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, their practical application remains limited due tendency aggregate and exhibit high toxicity at elevated concentrations. Here, we developed Citrus limon peel water extract-mediated hydrothermal process facilitate the heterogeneous nucleation of Ag NPs on attapulgite (APT) nanorods prepared Ag/APT nanocomposites with ultrasmall (<2 nm) uniformly anchored APT nanorods. Ascorbic acid polyphenols in extract acted electron donors reduce Ag+ Ag0, while interfacial interaction induced confined growth nanocrystals, resulting NPs. As result, synergistic effect targeted biofilm-binding affinity siginificantly increased specific surface area conducive release ions, obtained exhibited enhanced eradication activities antimicrobial-resistant bacterial biofilms accelerated wound healing MRSA-infected models. Additionally, attributing low dosage Ag, exceptional biocompatibility both vitro vivo. This work provides simple green strategy for preparation highly active Ag-based antibacterial nanomaterials sheds new light development advanced antimicrobial agents healing.

Abstract Multidrug resistance (MDR) due to the overexpression of P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp) efflux pump remains a significant challenge in cancer therapy, also breast cancer. Traditional pharmacological approaches have focused on using inhibitors modulate P‐gp expression and function. Curcumin, polyphenol derived from Curcuma longa L., is one most extensively studied natural compounds with potential as an effective inhibitor. Despite its promising attributes, clinical application complicated by P‐gp's presence healthy cells, such those intestinal barrier blood–brain barrier, which can lead increased toxicity. To address these challenges, we developed novel multifunctional nanomaterial covalently bonding halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) hectorite (Ht) loading it curcumin doxorubicin. The efficacy co‐delivery doxorubicin HNTs‐Ht was evaluated cytotoxicity assays MCF‐7R both two‐dimensional (2D) three‐dimensional (3D) models. obtained data show that causes accumulation acting substrate for transport stimulator adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‐dependent drug transporter doxorubicin‐resistant cell line. results suggest could provide approach improve chemotherapy effectiveness overcoming MDR enhancing treatment outcomes.
