Abstract
Globally, antibiotic resistance is a challenging issue in healthcare sector. The emergence of multiple drug-resistant bacteria has forced us to modify existing medicines and or formulate newer medicines that are effective and inexpensive. In this perspective, this study involves the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) by utilizing the Lawsonia inermis (Li) leaf extract. The prepared L. inermis leaf extract mediated ZnO NPs (Li-ZnO NPs) were bio-physically characterized. The antibacterial and radical scavenging effects of Li-ZnO NPs were evaluated. In addition, ZnO NPs were conjugated with standard antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and its drug loading efficiency, drug release and antibacterial efficacy were tested and compared with non-drug loaded ZnO NPs. An absorbance peak at 340 nm was noted for Li-ZnO NPs. After conjugation with the drug, two absorbance peaks- one at 242 nm characteristic of ciprofloxacin and the other at 350 nm characteristics of ZnO NPs were observed. The crystallite size was 18.7 nm as determined by XRD. The antibacterial effect was higher on Gram-positive (S. aureus and S. pyogenes) than the Gram-negative pathogens (E. coli and K. pneumoniae). Inhibition of S. aureus and S. pyogenes biofilm at 100 μg mL-1were, respectively, 97.5 and 92.6%. H2O2 free radicals was inhibited to 90% compared to the standard ascorbic acid at 100 μg mL-1. After drug loading, the FTIR spectrum confirmed the existence of ciprofloxacin peaks at 965 cm-1 and Zn-O bond at 492 cm-1. The drug loading capacity of 15 nm sized ZnO NPs was higher (58, 75, 90 and 95% at 1, 2.5, 5 and 10% drug concentrations, respectively) compared to 20 nm. Similarly, the percentage of drug (ciprofloxacin) released from 15 nm ZnO NPs were increased to 90% at 10% drug-loaded samples, respectively. Also, the antibiotic loaded ZnO NPs had significant antibacterial effects against tested bacteria compared to Li-ZnO NPs and ciprofloxacin alone. This revealed that the antibiotic loaded ZnO NPs offer a sustainable route to treat multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract
In the present study, ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized using an aqueous extract of shilajit. The nanoparticles were characterized using different techniques such as UV (ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), XRD (X-ray diffraction), particle size analysis, SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDAX (Energy-dispersive X-ray) analysis. The UV absorption peak at 422.40 nm was observed for ZnO nanoparticles. SEM analysis showed the shape of nanoparticles to be spherical, FTIR spectrum confirmed the presence of zinc atoms, particle size analysis showed the nanoparticle size, EDAX confirmed the purity of ZnO nanoparticles whereas XRD pattern similar to that of JCPDS card for ZnO confirmed the presence of pure ZnO nanoparticles. The in vitro anticancer activity of ZnO nanoparticles against the HeLa cell line showed the IC50 value of 38.60 μg/mL compared to reference standard cisplatin. This finding confirms that ZnO nanoparticles from shilajit extract have potent cytotoxic effect on human cervical cancer cell lines.

Abstract
With the rise in microbial resistance to traditional antibiotics and disinfectants, there is a pressing need for the development of novel and effective antibacterial agents. Two major approaches being adopted worldwide to overcome antimicrobial resistance are the use of plant leaf extracts and metallic nanoparticles (NPs). However, there are no reports on the antibacterial potential of NPs coated with plant extracts, which may lead to novel ways of treating infections. This study presents an innovative approach to engineer antibacterial NPs by leveraging the inherent antibacterial properties of zinc oxide NPs (ZnO NPs) in combination withAzadirachta indica(AI) leaf extract, resulting in enhanced antibacterial efficacy. ZnO NPs were synthesised by the precipitation method and subsequently coated withAIleaf extract to produce ZnO-AInanocore-shell structures. The structural and morphological characteristics of the bare and leaf extract coated ZnO NPs were analysed by x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The presence of anAIleaf extract coating on ZnO NPs and subsequent formation of ZnO-AInanocore-shell structures was verified through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence techniques. The antibacterial efficacy of both ZnO NPs and ZnO-AInanocore-shell particles was evaluated against methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureususing a zone of inhibition assay. The results showed an NP concentration-dependent increase in the diameter of the inhibition zone, with ZnO-AInanocore-shell particles exhibiting superior antibacterial properties, owing to the combined effect of ZnO NPs and the poly phenols present inAIleaf extract. These findings suggest that ZnO-AInanocore-shell structures hold promise for the development of novel antibacterial creams and hydrogels for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
In this approach, zinc oxide (ZnO) is a multipurpose substance with remarkable characteristics such as high sensitivity, a large specific area, non-toxicity, excellent compatibility, and a high isoelectric point, which make it attractive for discussion with some limitations. It is the most favorable possible option for the collection of nanostructures in terms of structure and their characteristics. The development of numerous ZnO nanostructure-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors used in health diagnosis, pharmaceutical evaluation, food hygiene, and contamination of the environment monitoring is described, as well as the production of ZnO nanostructures. Nanostructured ZnO has good chemical and temperature durability as an n-type semiconducting material, making it useful in a wide range of uses, from luminous materials to supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, medicinal devices, and more. When compared to the bulk materials, the nanosized materials have both a higher rate of disintegration and a higher solubility. Furthermore, ZnO nanoparticles are regarded as top contenders for electrochemical sensors due to their strong electrochemical behaviors and electron transmission characteristics. The impact of many factors, including selectivity, sensitivity, detection limit, strength, and structures, arrangements, and their respective functioning processes, has been investigated. This study concentrated a substantial amount of its attention on the recent advancements that have been made in ZnO-based nanoparticles, composites, and modified materials for use in the application areas of energy storage and conversion devices as well as biological applications. Supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, medicinal, and biological systems have been studied. ZnO-based materials are constantly analyzed for their advantages in energy and life science applications.

Abstract
This paper presents a comparative study of the toxicity of pristine-ZnO and l-histidine-incorporated ZnO toward Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a Gram-negative model organism. Pristine-ZnO and l-histidine-incorporated ZnO with different l-histidine concentrations were synthesized using an open aqueous solution bath technique. XRD studies revealed the formation of polycrystalline wurtzite ZnO. The average crystallite size of the synthesized l-histidine-incorporated ZnO decreased as the concentration of l-histidine increased. The FTIR spectra showed the presence of Zn-O, CO2-/CO3-, and C-N (only in l-histidine-incorporated ZnO samples) and -OH bond vibration signals in all samples. The chemical purity of all the samples was ensured using XPS analysis. The microbial activity of these samples was investigated using E. coli. The solution with 100 μg/mL ZnO in sterile distilled water showed up to 94% growth inhibition of E. coli, establishing antibacterial activity. However, l-histidine incorporated in ZnO showed reduced antibacterial activity with the increase of the concentration of l-histidine in ZnO. Furthermore, flow cytometry studies during the interaction of ZnO and E. coli confirmed the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), validating its antibacterial activity. The interaction of l-histidine-incorporated ZnO and E. coli showed declining ROS with the increase in the l-histidine concentration, indicating a ZnO toxicity reduction.

Abstract
Obesity is a complicated disease characterized by abundant fat accumulation. It is associated with cardiovascular disease. The current study aimed to appreciate the role of synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) (18.72 nm in size) in curbing cardiovascular disease in an obesity model of a high fat/sucrose diet in male rats. For 16 weeks, 24 rats were fed a high-fat diet and a 25% sucrose solution to develop obesity, and after that, the rats were randomly allocated into four groups of rats. Group 1 served as the control group and consisted of normal, non-obese rats. Group 2 comprised obese rats that were injected with an equivalent volume of a neutral substance, serving as vehicle control. In Group 3 or 4, obese rats were treated with an intraperitoneal injection of 5 or 10mg/kg of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) for eight weeks. The treatment of obese rats with ZnONPs decreased plasma levels of monocyte chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1), resistin, ENA78, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL6), and C reactive protein (CRP). Also, the remediation of obese rats with ZnONPs led to a significant decrease in body mass index (BMI), body weight gain, leptin, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL (Low-density lipoprotein), glucose, and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). Moreover, ZnONPs treatment lowered troponin, creatine phosphokinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiac or adipose tissue iron content, and malondialdehyde (MDA) either in blood or heart tissue. Otherwise, treating obese rats with ZnONPs enhanced plasma adiponectin levels, cardiac-reduced glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In addition, ZnONPs displayed a significant influence on the cardiovascular system since they combat the rise in blood pressure and the pathological changes of the heart and aorta besides maintaining plasma nitric oxide levels. The results showed a positive correlation between BMI and MDA, MPC-1, CK-MB, and LDH. ZnONPs are convenient in treating cardiovascular disease in obese rats via reduced blood pressure, oxidative stress, cardiac iron accumulation, insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers.

Abstract
This work examines the antibacterial and anticandidal activities of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNPs) synthesized by high-speed ball milling (HSBM), for short milling times: 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 h. First, ZNPs have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, and the Zetasizer analyzer. The HSBM results in semispherical ZNPs with some local agglomeration. We found that nanoparticles decrease in size continuously with milling time until they reach about 84% of their original size after only two hours; at 1000 rpm, HSBM reduces ZNP's average size by 6 nm/min. As particle size decreases, the X-ray diffracted patterns become broader and less intense while confirming that no phase transformation has occurred, proving HSBM's effectiveness in synthesizing nanoparticles on a large scale within a short period of time. According to FT-IR analysis, as material sizes change, the polarization charge of the ZNP surface changes as well, creating discrepancies in vibrational frequency, as demonstrated by the shifting of the IR spectra in the 300-600 cm-1 frequency band. Raman responses have also been proven to depend on the particle size. Using the Agar well diffusion method, eleven microorganisms have been tested for the antimicrobial activity of ZNPs. Among the six Gram-negative tested bacteria, S. sonnei showed the largest inhibition zone of about 11.3 ± 0.6 mm with ZNPs measuring 148 nm in size (milled for 2 h), followed by E. coli ATCC 25922. Accordingly, S. aureus was the most susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, with inhibition zone size gradually increasing from 11.8 ± 0.3 mm to 13.5 ± 0.5 mm with decreasing nanoparticle size from 767 to 148 nm, while S. aureus ATCC 25923 was resistant to both milled and unmilled samples. Similar results were seen with candida, all milled ZNPs inhibited C. albicans, followed by C. tropicalis, whereas C. knisei was resistant to all ZNP sizes. In light of microorganism-ZNP interaction mechanisms, the obtained results have been discussed in depth.

Abstract
Various metal oxide nanomaterials have been widely used as carriers to prepare pH-sensitive nanomedicines to respond to the acidic tumor microenvironment promoting antitumor efficiency. Herein, we used zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as metal oxide nanomaterial coated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMHP) and doxorubicin (DOX) complex (LMHP-DOX) to prepare ZnO-LD NPs for controllable pH-triggered DOX release on the targeted site. Our results indicated that the released DOX from ZnO-LD NPs was pH-sensitive. The oxygen produced by ZnO-LD NPs in H2O2 solution was observed in in vitro experiment. The ZnO-LD NPs entered into both PC-3M and 4T1 tumor cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and micropinocytosis pathway. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by ZnO-LD NPs could significantly increase the caspase 3/7 level, leading to tumor cell apoptosis. The in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity was confirmed in PC-3M and 4T1 cell lines or tumor-bearing mice models. The in vivo and in vitro tumor images via second-order nonlinearity of ZnO-LD NPs indicated that ZnO-LD NPs could penetrate deep into the tumor tissues. Therefore, the ZnO-LD NPs developed in our study could provide an efficient approach for the preparation of pH-sensitive nano delivery systems suitable for tumor therapy and imaging.

Abstract
Rhodamine B (RhB) dye used in the textile industries is associated with carcinogenic and neurotoxic effects with a high potential to cause a variety of human diseases. Semiconductor photocatalysts synthesised through agriculture waste extracts exhibited high efficiency for RhB removal. The current review aimed to explore the efficiency and mechanism of RhB degradation using different photocatalysts that have been used in recent years, as well as the effect of various factors on the removal process. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesised from plant extract is the most effective for the RhB degradation with the efficiency reaching 100% after 210 min. The photocatalysis process depends on the pH because pH changes the balance of water dissociation, which impacts the formation of hydroxyl radicals and the surface load of the catalyst. Analysis using Jupyter Notebook revealed a strong correlation between the concentration of ZnO NPs and the photocatalysis efficiency (R = 0.72). These findings reveal that man-sized photocatalysts have a high potential for removing RhB from the wastewater.

Abstract
We demonstrate experimental evidence of the effect of surface plasmon resonance of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) on the activity of a well-known biomedicinal drug in the proximity of a semiconductor having a wide band gap for enhanced photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. We have chosen riboflavin (Rf) (or vitamin B2) as a model photosensitizer, attached with ZnO NPs and further attached with gold (Au) NP-decorated ZnO to increase the efficiency. The synthesized nanohybrids are characterized with the help of different microscopic, optical spectroscopic, and density functional theory (DFT)-based techniques. The DFT and time-dependent DFT-based calculations validate the experimental findings. A detailed ultrafast spectroscopic study has been carried out further to study the excited-state charge dynamics in the interface of the nanohybrids. The occurrence of a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between Rf and Au has been found to be the key reason for the increased efficiency in the Rf-ZnO-Au nanohybrid over the Rf-ZnO one. The dipolar coupling between Au and Rf in the Rf-ZnO-Au nanohybrid further facilitates the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in comparison to Rf-ZnO under blue-light irradiation. The greater efficiency in ROS generation by the Rf-ZnO-Au nanohybrid has been utilized for antimicrobial action against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Overall, the present study highlights the dual sensitization for achieving enhanced electron injection efficiency in the Rf-ZnO-Au nanohybrid in order to use it as an antibacterial agent that could be translated in PDT.

Abstract
Cancer is regarded as one of the most deadly and mirthless diseases and it develops due to the uncontrolled proliferation of cells. To date, varieties of traditional medications and chemotherapies have been utilized to fight tumors. However, their immense drawbacks, such as reduced bioavailability, insufficient supply, and significant adverse effects, make their use limited. Nanotechnology has evolved rapidly in recent years and offers a wide spectrum of applications in the healthcare sectors. Nanoscale materials offer strong potential for curing cancer as they pose low risk and fewer complications. Several metal oxide NPs are being developed to diagnose or treat malignancies, but zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have remarkably demonstrated their potential in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancers due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and unique physico-chemical attributes. ZnO NPs showed cancer cell specific toxicity via generation of reactive oxygen species and destruction of mitochondrial membrane potential, which leads to the activation of caspase cascades followed by apoptosis of cancerous cells. ZnO NPs have also been used as an effective carrier for targeted and sustained delivery of various plant bioactive and chemotherapeutic anticancerous drugs into tumor cells. In this review, at first we have discussed the role of ZnO NPs in diagnosis and bio-imaging of cancer cells. Secondly, we have extensively reviewed the capability of ZnO NPs as carriers of anticancerous drugs for targeted drug delivery into tumor cells, with a special focus on surface functionalization, drug-loading mechanism, and stimuli-responsive controlled release of drugs. Finally, we have critically discussed the anticancerous activity of ZnO NPs on different types of cancers along with their mode of actions. Furthermore, this review also highlights the limitations and future prospects of ZnO NPs in cancer theranostic.

Abstract
l-Cysteine coated zinc oxide (ZnO) nano hollow spheres were prepared as a potent drug delivery agent to eradicate Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. typhimurium). The ZnO nano hollow spheres were synthesized by following the environmentally-friendly trisodium citrate assisted method and l-cysteine (L-Cys) conjugate with its surface. ZnO/L-Cys@CFX nanocarrier drug has been fabricated by incorporating ceftizoxime with L-Cys coated ZnO nano hollow spheres and characterized using different techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) etc. Furthermore, the drug-loading and encapsulation efficiency at different pH levels was measured using UV–vis spectrometer and optimized. A control and gradual manner of pH-sensitive release profile was found after investigating the release profile of CFX from the carrier drug. The antibacterial activity of ZnO/L-Cys@CFX and CFX were evaluated through the agar disc diffusion method and the broth dilution method, which indicate the antibacterial properties of antibiotics enhance after conjugating. Surprisingly, the ZnO/L-Cys@CFX exhibits a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 5 µg/ml against S. typhimurium is lower than CFX (20 µg/ml) itself. These results indicate the nanocarrier can reduce the amount of CFX dosed to eradicate S. typhimurium.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination of zinc oxide (ZnO-N) nanoparticles and fennel essential oil (FEO) on the functional and antimicrobial properties of potato starch films. Films based on potato starch containing a combination of ZnO-N (1, 3, and 5%(w/w)) and FEO (1, 2, and 3% (w/w)) produced by casting method and water solubility, water absorption capacity (WAC), barrier properties, mechanical properties, color indexes, and antimicrobial activity of the films against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Aspergillus flavus were studied. The combination of ZnO-N and FEO had a significant decreasing effect on solubility, WAC, water vapor and oxygen permeability, elongation, and L* index. These additives had an increasing impact on tensile strength, Yang's modulus, and a* and b* indexes (p < .05). By increasing the concentration of ZnO-N and FEO, the antimicrobial activities of bionanocomposite films significantly increased (p < .05). Both ZnO-N and FEO had a significant effect in this respect, although the effects of ZnO-N were more significant. In conclusion, an excellent synergistic effect of ZnO-N and FEO was observed in potato starch films.

Abstract
This work intended to enhance the unique and outstanding properties of lanthanum by synthesizing its nanocomposite. A lanthanum-based nanocomposite was prepared by a simple and cost-effective “co-precipitation” method. Lanthanum nitrate (La (NO3)3) and zinc nitrate (Zn (NO3)2) were used as precursors. The lanthanum/zinc oxide nano composite formed was then calcined at 450 °C for 4 h in order to obtain a fine powder with size in the nano range of 1–100 nm. Characterization of the prepared catalyst was done by ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. Crystallinity and morphology were found by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized nanocomposite material was also tested for heterogeneous catalytic applications of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction into 4-aminophenol (4-AP). It was found to be successful in complete reduction of 4-NP with enhanced catalytic performance.

Abstract
Light has attracted special attention as a stimulus for triggered drug delivery systems (DDS) due to its intrinsic features of being spatially and temporally tunable. Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation has recently been used as a source of external light stimuli to control the release of drugs using a "switch on- switch off" procedure. This review discusses the promising potential of UVA radiation as the light source of choice for photo-controlled drug release from a range of photo-responsive and photolabile nanostructures via photo-isomerization, photo-cleavage, photo-crosslinking, and photo-induced rearrangement. In addition to its clinical use, we will also provide here an overview of the recent UVA-responsive drug release approaches that are developed for phototherapy and skin photoprotection.

Abstract
One of the most common neurological diseases is epilepsy, which not only negatively affects the quality of people's life but also may lead to life-threatening situations when its symptoms such as seizures cannot be controlled medically. A very serious problem to be overcame is the untreatable form of this disease, which cannot be cured by any currently available medicines. Cannabidiol, which is a natural product obtained from Cannabis Sativa, brings a new hope to people suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy. However, the hydrophobic character of this compound significantly lowers its clinical efficiency. One of the promising methods of this substance bioactivity increase is delivery through the skin tissue. In this article, a new type of advanced transdermal systems based on chitosan and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) has been developed according to Sustained Development principles. The chemical modification of the biopolymer confirmed by FT-IR method resulted in the preparation of the material with great swelling abilities and appropriate water vapor permeability. Obtained nanoparticles were investigated over their crystalline structure and morphology and their positive impact on drug loading capacity and cannabidiol controlled release was proved. The novel biomaterials were confirmed to have conductive properties and not be cytotoxic to L929 mouse fibroblasts.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important pharmaceutical agent of considerable therapeutic interest ascribed to its vasodilative, tumoricidal and antibacterial effects. Rapid development of functional nanomaterials has provided opportunities for us to achieve controllable exogenous delivery of NO. In the current review, a variety of functionalized colloidal nanovehicles that have been developed to date for nitric oxide delivery are reported. Specifically, we focus on inorganic nanomaterials such as semiconductor quantum dots, silica nanoparticles, upconversion nanomaterials, carbon/graphene nanodots, gold nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles as the functional or/and supporting materials to carry NO donors. N-diazeniumdiolates, S-nitrosothiols, nitrosyl metal complexes and organic nitrates as main types of NO donors have their own unique properties and molecular structures. Conjugating the NO donors of different forms with appropriate nanomaterials results in NO delivery nanovehicles capable of releasing NO in a dose-controllable or/and on-demand manner. We also consider the therapeutic applications of those NO delivery nanovehicles, especially their applications for cancer therapy. In the end, we discuss possible future directions for developing exogenous NO delivery systems with more desired structure and improved performance. This review aims to offer the readers an overall view of the advances in functionalized colloidal nanovehicles for NO delivery. It will be attractive to scientists and researchers in the areas of material science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, chemical biology, etc.

Abstract
In recent years, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) emerged as an excellent candidate in the field of optical, electrical, food packaging and particularly in biomedical research. ZnONPs show cancer cell specific toxicity via the pH-dependent (low pH) dissolution into Zn2+ ions, which generate reactive oxygen species and induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Further, ZnONPs have also been used as an effective carrier for the targeted delivery of several anticancer drugs into tumor cells. The increasing focus on ZnONPs resulted in the development of various synthesis approaches including chemical, pHysical, and green or biological for the manufacturing of ZnONPs. In this article, at first we have discussed the various synthesis methods of ZnONPs and secondly its biomedical applications. We have extensively reviewed the anticancer mechanism of ZnONPs on different types of cancers considering its size, shape and surface charge dependent cytotoxicity. Photoirradiation with UV light or NIR laser further increase its anticancer activity via synergistic chemo-photodynamic effect. The drug delivery applications of ZnONPs with special emphasis on drug loading mechanism, stimuli-responsive controlled release and therapeutic effects have also been discussed in this review. Finally, its side effects to vital body organs with mechanism via different exposure routes, the future direction of the ZnONPs research and application are also discussed.

Abstract
Disulfiram (DSF) is an FDA-approved anti-alcoholic drug that has recently proven to be effective in cancer treatment. However, the short half-life in the bloodstream and the metal ion-dependent antitumor activity significantly limited the further application of DSF in the clinical field. To this end, we constructed a silk fibroin modified disulfiram/zinc oxide nanocomposites (SF/DSF@ZnO) to solubilize and stabilize DSF, and, more importantly, achieve pH triggered Zn2+ release and subsequent synergistic antitumor activity. The prepared SF/DSF@ZnO nanocomposites were spherical and had a high drug loading. Triggered by the lysosomal pH, SF/DSF@ZnO could induce the rapid release of Zn2+ under the acidic conditions and caused nanoparticulate disassembly along with DSF release. In vitro experiments showed that cytotoxicity of DSF could be enhanced by the presence of Zn2+, and further amplified when encapsulated into SF/DSF@ZnO nanocomposites. It was confirmed that the significantly amplified cytotoxicity of SF/DSF@ZnO was resulted from pH-triggered Zn2+ release, inhibited cell migration, and increased ROS production. In vivo study showed that SF/DSF@ZnO nanocomposites significantly increased the tumor accumulation and prolonged the retention time. In vivo antitumor experiments in the xenograft model showed that SF/DSF@ZnO exerted the highest tumor-inhibition rate among all the drug treatments. Therefore, this exquisite study established silk fibroin-modified disulfiram/zinc oxide nanocomposites, SF/DSF@ZnO, where ZnO not only acted as a delivery carrier but also served as a metal ion reservoir to achieve synergistic antitumor efficacy. The established DSF nanoformulation displayed excellent therapeutic potential in future cancer treatment.

Abstract
ZnO encapsulants with capsular configurations (e.g. a large inner cavity, sizeable pore, low density and high specific surface area) have attracted considerable attention as effective and promising candidates in various fields owing to the merits of ZnO (e.g. UV protection, photoelectric catalysis, gas sensitivity, antibacterial effect). However, the research on ZnO encapsulants has not yet reached the eruptive stage. This probably due to their high morphological flexibility and relatively low structural strength that is not easy to control during the preparation process. In this review, the principles of cavity-generating and pore-forming are firstly discussed in depth after going through the synthesis of hollow ZnO in the past ten years. Moreover, the regulation of cavity diameter and pore size of different synthetic strategies is investigated. Then, the research progress of ZnO encapsulants is debated in detail from the loading and release of functional materials and the corresponding characterization. Finally, some potential designs and new views on the future research and development of ZnO encapsulants are concluded.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common endocrine disease characterized by a state of hyperglycemia (higher level of glucose in the blood than usual). DM and its complications can lead to diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). DFU is associated with impaired wound healing, due to inappropriate cellular and cytokines response, infection, poor vascularization, and neuropathy. Effective therapeutic strategies for the management of impaired wound could be attained through a better insight of molecular mechanism and pathophysiology of diabetic wound healing. Nanotherapeutics-based agents engineered within 1-100 nm levels, which include nanoparticles and nanoscaffolds, are recent promising treatment strategies for accelerating diabetic wound healing. Nanoparticles are smaller in size and have high surface area to volume ratio that increases the likelihood of biological interaction and penetration at wound site. They are ideal for topical delivery of drugs in a sustained manner, eliciting cell-to-cell interactions, cell proliferation, vascularization, cell signaling, and elaboration of biomolecules necessary for effective wound healing. Furthermore, nanoparticles have the ability to deliver one or more therapeutic drug molecules, such as growth factors, nucleic acids, antibiotics, and antioxidants, which can be released in a sustained manner within the target tissue. This review focuses on recent approaches in the development of nanoparticle-based therapeutics for enhancing diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
A sodium N-lauryl amino acids (shortly silk sericin surfactant, SSS) is synthesized with lauryl chloride and sericin amino acids recovered from silk industrial waste. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the sericin surfactant can be used as a potential drug delivery carrier. By controlling the proportion of cationic drugs, cytarabine hydrochloride (CH) and anionic SSS, the aggregation behavior, slow release capability and toxicological effects of catanionic aggregates or vesicles, formed through CH and SSS, have been investigated in detail. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and zeta potential analysis showed that the aggregate solution could form a stable vesicle structure when the mass fraction of CH is less than or equal to 0.3. The drug release results showed that the cumulative release rate of the catanionic aggregation solution with CH mass fraction of 0.2 reached a maximum at 18 h, being approximately 9 times greater than that of pure cytarabine. The CH/SSS aggregates had a significant sustained release effect compared with the control group. At the same time, vesicles formed by SSS and CH have better anti-tumor effects compared with the pure drug group. In summary, sericin surfactant from silk industrial waste has a potential use as a drug delivery carrier.

Abstract
Efficient delivery of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with desirable bioactivity is still a great challenge in the field of bone regeneration. In this study, a silk fibroin/chitosan scaffold incorporated with BMP-2-loaded mesoporous hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (mHANPs) was prepared (SCH-L). BMP-2 was preloaded onto mHANPs with a high surface area before mixing with a silk fibroin/chitosan composite. Bare (without BMP-2) silk fibroin/chitosan/mHANP (SCH) scaffolds and SCH scaffolds with directly absorbed BMP-2 (SCH-D) were investigated in parallel for comparison. In vitro release kinetics indicated that BMP-2 released from the SCH-L scaffold showed a significantly lower initial burst release, followed by a more sustained release over time than the SCH-D scaffold. In vitro cell viability, osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and the in vivo osteogenic effect of scaffolds in a rat calvarial defect were evaluated. The results showed that compared with bare SCH and SCH-D scaffolds, the SCH-L scaffold significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro and induced more pronounced bone formation in vivo. Further studies demonstrated that the mHANP-mediated satisfactory conformational change and sustained release benefited the protection of the released BMP-2 bioactivity, as confirmed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and a mineralization deposition assay. More importantly, the interaction of BMP-2/mHANPs enhanced the binding ability of BMP-2 to cellular receptors, thereby maintaining its biological activity in osteogenic differentiation and osteoinductivity well, which contributed to the markedly promoted in vitro and in vivo osteogenic efficacy of the SCH-L scaffold. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that mHANPs represent an attractive carrier for binding BMP-2 to scaffolds. The SCH-L scaffold shows promising potential for bone tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
Due to the ability to induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light irradiation, ZnO nanoparticles show great potential in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Photo-triggered ROS production by ZnO nanoparticles and the resulting phototoxicity are efficient in killing cancer cells. This review highlights the recent exciting progress on the nanoscale ZnO-based photosensitizers (PSs) for PDT. Both the semplice ZnO nanoparticles as the PSs and the various chemicals (organic PS, dopant, metal and chemotherapeutic drugs) modified ZnO nanoparticles as the PSs show good ROS generation efficiency. The productive rate of ROS, the wavelength of exciting lights, and the therapeutic effect can be altered by doping different chemicals into ZnO nanoparticles at will. Additionally, we give some outlook on the design and functionalization of next-generation ZnO nanoparticles for more effective anti-cancer applications.

Abstract
Inherent selective cytotoxicity, antibacterial activity and unique physicochemical properties of ZnO nanostructures and chitosan (CS) make them promising candidates for drug delivery. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles functionalized by N-succinyl chitosan as a pH-sensitive delivery system were synthesized to enhance the therapeutic potential of curcumin (CUR). CS coated-ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a co-precipitation method in the presence of CS. Chemical modification of CS-ZnO particles was performed by succinic anhydride for introducing -COOH functional groups which were then activated using 1,1'‑carbonyldiimidazole for CUR conjugation. The spherical-like CUR-conjugated system (CUR-CS-ZnO) with the average particle size of 40 nm presented significantly enhanced water dispersibility versus free CUR. The experimental study of CUR release from the system showed a pH-sensitive release profile, which enabled drug delivery to tumors and infection sites. MTT and Annexin-V FITC/PI assays revealed the superior anticancer activity of CUR-CS-ZnO compared to free CUR against breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) by inducing the apoptotic response with no cytotoxic effects on HEK293 normal cells. Moreover, CUR conjugation to the system notably dropped the MIC (25 to 50-fold) and MBC values (10 to 40-fold) against S. aureus and E. coli. The features qualify the formulation for anticancer and antimicrobial applications in the future.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been studied as metal-based drugs that may be used for biomedical applications due to the fact of their biocompatibility. Their physicochemical properties, which depend on synthesis techniques involving physical, chemical, biological, and microfluidic reactor methods affect biological activity in vitro and in vivo. Advanced tool-based physicochemical characterization is required to identify the biological and toxicological effects of ZnO nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have variable morphologies and can be molded into three-dimensional structures to enhance their performance. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown therapeutic activity against cancer, diabetes, microbial infection, and inflammation. They have also shown the potential to aid in wound healing and can be used for imaging tools and sensors. In this review, we discuss the synthesis techniques, physicochemical characteristics, evaluation tools, techniques used to generate three-dimensional structures, and the various biomedical applications of ZnO nanoparticles.

Abstract
Polymorphous light eruption (PLE) is one of the acquired idiopathic photodermatosis mainly induced by immoderate UV radiation. In order to realize UV protection and medicine administration simultaneously for polymorphous light eruption protection and therapy, Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) loaded Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles of which drug release behavior is UV-controlled has been successfully synthesized. Such nanoparticles can not only reflect UV but also transfer the energy to release AKBA which presents an excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, they are biocompatible to HaCaT cells. As a result, they have a great potential in combining UV protection and medicine administration simultaneously for PLE protection and therapy.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an adaptable material that has distinctive properties, such as high-sensitivity, large specific area, non-toxicity, good compatibility and a high isoelectric point, which favours it to be considered with a few exceptions. It is the most desirable group of nanostructure as far as both structure and properties. The unique and tuneable properties of nanostructured ZnO shows excellent stability in chemically as well as thermally stable n-type semiconducting material with wide applications such as in luminescent material, supercapacitors, battery, solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, biomedical and biological applications in the form of bulk crystal, thin film and pellets. The nanosized materials exhibit higher dissolution rates as well as higher solubility when compared to the bulk materials. This review significantly focused on the current improvement in ZnO-based nanomaterials/composites/doped materials for the application in the field of energy storage and conversion devices and biological applications. Special deliberation has been paid on supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalysis, biosensors, biomedical and biological applications. Finally, the benefits of ZnO-based materials for the utilizations in the field of energy and biological sciences are moreover consistently analysed.

Abstract
To control release of drugs sensitive to gastrointestinal (GI) environmental effects or irritating to stomach, such as diclofenac sodium (DS), sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads are gaining considerable attention gradually. However, due to high swelling ratio, the sustained release performance of SA hydrogel is still far from satisfactory. The objective of this research was to develop new drug delivery device based on SA and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). ZnO NPs were prepared by direct precipitation method, and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) acted as stabilizing agent to dominate the preparation of ZnO NPs. The incorporation of CMCS-ZnO NPs resulted in slower and sustained release of DS in vitro. In vivo pharmacokinetics studies showed the bioavailability of DS was better after oral administration of DS-loaded SA/CMCS-ZnO hydrogel beads. These results suggested that SA/CMCS-ZnO hydrogel beads will be a prospective material for loading drugs sensitive to GI environmental effects or irritating to stomach.

Abstract
Tyrosinase inhibitors could effectively limit the activity of tyrosinase in melanocytes to reduce the excessive synthesis and deposition of melanin. However, low skin permeability and lacking in targeting greatly restricted their application. Herein, ZnO quantum dots were synthesized by gel-sol method and grafted with BQ-788, which have been employed as transdermal and targeting carrier to delivery ellagic acid to melanocytes. Ellagic acid loaded ZnO quantum dots with the size distribution of around 9 nm could targetedly bind to melanocytes and enter the melanocytes by endocytosis within 1 h. The ellagic acid release behavior was controlled by the decreasing of pH via the rapid dissolution of ZnO. When the concentration of BQ-788/EA@ZnO was 12.5 μg/mL, the inhibition rate on tyrosinase activity and melanin deposition were up to 44.23 ± 4.97% and 37.50 ± 5.23%, respectively. In view of their good biocompatibility, they were of great potential in clinically external application for tyrosinase inhibition.

A Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanocrystals Finely Tuned for Biological Applications. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9020212. [PMID: 30736299 PMCID: PMC6410313 DOI: 10.3390/nano9020212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Revised: 01/28/2019] [Accepted: 01/30/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Herein we report a novel, easy, fast and reliable microwave-assisted synthesis procedure for the preparation of colloidal zinc oxide nanocrystals (ZnO NCs) optimized for biological applications. ZnO NCs are also prepared by a conventional solvo-thermal approach and the properties of the two families of NCs are compared and discussed. All of the NCs are fully characterized in terms of morphological analysis, crystalline structure, chemical composition and optical properties, both as pristine nanomaterials or after amino-propyl group functionalization. Compared to the conventional approach, the novel microwave-derived ZnO NCs demonstrate outstanding colloidal stability in ethanol and water with long shelf-life. Furthermore, together with their more uniform size, shape and chemical surface properties, this long-term colloidal stability also contributes to the highly reproducible data in terms of biocompatibility. Actually, a significantly different biological behavior of the microwave-synthesized ZnO NCs is reported with respect to NCs prepared by the conventional synthesis procedure. In particular, consistent cytotoxicity and highly reproducible cell uptake toward KB cancer cells are measured with the use of microwave-synthesized ZnO NCs, in contrast to the non-reproducible and scattered data obtained with the conventionally-synthesized ones. Thus, we demonstrate how the synthetic route and, as a consequence, the control over all the nanomaterial properties are prominent points to be considered when dealing with the biological world for the achievement of reproducible and reliable results, and how the use of commercially-available and under-characterized nanomaterials should be discouraged in this view.
