Wool fibers were treated with <em>Hymenocrater platystegius</em> flower powder and aluminum salts, followed by dyeing with Madder, Reseda lutea, Indigo, or Walnut shell dyes using different mordanting methods. FTIR analysis revealed the characteristic absorption bands and confirmed the interactions between the wool fibers and the treatment agents. The insect-repellent properties were assessed by weight loss measurements after exposure to <em>Anthrenus verbasci</em> larvae, showing significant improvements in treated samples, particularly with the combination of <em>Hymenocrater platystegius</em> and aluminum mordanting. GC–MS analysis of the essential oil identified as α-Pinene, Trans-Verbenol, Linalool, and β-Bourbonene as the main constituents, contributing to the insect-repellent effect. The L*a*b* color space analysis demonstrated that aluminum mordanting significantly enhances the color strength and stability of dyed wool, with pre-mordanting generally providing better results. The study further evaluated the washing and light fastness, as well as the mothproofing properties of the dyed wool samples. These results indicate that the weight loss percentages of treated wool fiber after washing are slightly higher than before washing, but the difference is not significant.

Chemotherapy is the primary treatment protocol; however, a significant challenge is the solubility of most anticancer drugs, which adversely affect healthy tissues and hampers therapeutic efficacy.

CDs with unique structural and physicochemical features are invaluable agents that have confirmed their potential to perform numerous roles at the nanoscale level in pharmaceutical technology advancements to formulate novel drugs and enhance current formulations.

Recent advancements have demonstrated that CD-based nanotechnology systems enhance the therapeutic impact of 5-FU, promoting sustained health and prolonging the lifespan of both healthy and treated cells.
