Nanomedicine has shown the potential to improve therapeutic efficacy in psoriatic skin. The metallic nanocarriers such as gold, selenium, silver, zinc, iron, titanium, and copper have currently emerged as promising and highly effective treatment options for psoriasis as they offer several advantages like favorable physicochemical properties, enhanced drug-loading, improved skin penetration, and permeation. Metallic nanocarriers can be functionalized and tailored to specific therapeutic needs, making them highly effective at delivering anti-psoriatic drugs directly to the targeted areas without causing any adverse effects. The gold nanoparticles are known for their high biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory properties, while silver nanoparticles exhibit strong antimicrobial effects that are beneficial in managing psoriatic skin infections. Selenium, zinc, and iron nanoparticles contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, which are essential in mitigating the reactive oxidative stress, suppressing cytokines, and interleukins inflammatory mediators associated with psoriasis. Through metallic nanoparticles, it is possible to achieve controlled release, which maintains a steady rate of drug diffusion and skin penetration and delivers drugs more precisely, lowering the risk of systemic toxicity and improving patient compliance. This review highlights the potential mechanism and combines recent research based on metallic nanoparticles in advancing psoriasis treatment, offering an effective treatment option over various conventional therapies due to their multifunctionality, safety, and therapeutic efficacy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":471,"journal":{"name":"Applied Nanoscience","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.674,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145161593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incorporation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) into polysulfone matrices can increase the performance of the membrane for specific applications, such as dye removal and heavy metal rejection. The MIL-125 (Ti) is a well-known MOF with excellent chemical stability, large surface area, and adjustable pore size, making it suitable for membrane fabrication. This study fabricated membranes composed of MIL-125(Ti) and polysulfone (PSF) with MOF doses ranging from 0.5 to 3 wt %. Compared with the pristine PSF membrane, the pore-forming agent PVP was used at a 12% concentration, increasing the pore size and porosity. The hydrophilicity, water flux, and antifouling nature of the fabricated membrane were studied. The dye removal and heavy metal rejection experiments were carried out, and a dye removal efficiency of 90% for RB-5 and 47% for RO-16 was exhibited by the M-1 membrane. Furthermore, the M-2 membrane resulted in heavy metal rejection of 89.33% for Cd<sup>2+</sup>, and M-3 resulted in 68.81% for Pb<sup>2+</sup> at a feed concentration of 500 ppm.

Efficient drug delivery into tumor cells remains one of the critical challenges in cancer therapy. However, cancer-cell-targeted nanomedicines that function within the intricate milieu of the tumor microenvironment have shown potential to improve therapeutic efficiency. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the major phytochemical in <i>Phyllanthus emblica</i> (amla), is known for its anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we developed pH-responsive calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CCNPs) as a nanocarrier for EGCG to enhance its intracellular delivery and therapeutic efficacy. EGCG was physically adsorbed onto the surface of CCNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In-vitro drug release studies demonstrated a sustained and more prominent release of EGCG at the acidic pH (4.8) typical of the tumor microenvironment. The biological activity of EGCG-loaded CCNPs was evaluated using the MTT assay and apoptosis analysis. The results showed significant cytotoxicity against colorectal cancer cells (COLO-320 DM), while blank CCNPs exhibited low toxicity and high biocompatibility. Intracellular uptake studies further confirmed the preferential accumulation of nanoparticles within colorectal cancer cells. Flow cytometry-based apoptosis assays revealed that EGCG-conjugated CCNPs induced considerable cancer cell death.
