Anticancer and antibacterial activities of embelin: Micro and nano aspects

There are some reported anticancer and antibacterial effects for embelin, although, its poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability are main hindrance to applying embelin in therapeutics. In this regard, nanoformulations based on bare or functionalized nanomaterials can overcome these disadvantages. Embelin can be loaded or incorporated in biocompatible polymeric or protein nanoparticles (NPs) such as albumin NPs to improve solubility. In addition, targeting specific active sites of some major biological ...

Various novel strategies for functionalization of gold and silver nanoparticles to hinder drug-resistant bacteria and cancer cells

A higher reactivity of nanomaterials specifically inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) compared to their counterparts, is caused by their unique physicochemical properties in the nanoscale such as large surface area to volume ratio and aspect ratio. In the case of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), gold (Au) and silver (Ag) NPs have been known to have appropriate therapeutic activities particularly anticancer and antimicrobial effects against a wide range of multidrug-resistant bacteria and cancer ...

Modification of silica nanoparticles for antibacterial activities: mechanism of action

Opening up a new avenue for smart design of nanomaterials by antibacterial agents such as antibiotics, metal/metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), and polymeric materials to achieve high efficiency against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria as a vital affair in the case of chronic bacterial infections specifically diabetic foot ulcer, pneumonia, and pseudomonas infections. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) NPs with a biocompatible and porous surface can be applied as a novel, efficient carriers for loading other ...
