The loading effectiveness can be reckoned with a better understanding of the drug-surfactant conjugation mechanism. Hence this review comprehends the different nano-carriers, their appropriate surfactant systems, and the loading mechanism of drugs with surfactants through different bonds.

Current reliance on conventional pesticides for crop disease management not only poses risks to human, animal, and environmental health but also contributes to the development of resistant pathogens. In response to this pressing issue, innovative technologies utilizing nanomaterials offer a promising alternative. These nanomaterials including lipid based nanoparticles (LNPs) can encapsulate and deliver pesticidal active ingredients in a controlled and targeted manner, presenting opportunities to enhance efficacy and efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. This approach represents a crucial step towards sustainable agriculture, preserving agro-ecosystem resilience and ensuring global food security.

The analysis of the synthesized material validates the existence of a hexagonal system of zinc oxide with space group <italic toggle=\"yes\">P6</italic>\u0000₃cm and HRTM confirmed the crystallinity and morphology of the nanoparticles ranging from 15–20 nm, revealing the formation of pores attributed to the presence of PEG-6000.

Analysis employing the BJH method outlines pore diameters ranging from approximately 2–5 nm at a relative pressure of around 0.99. Furthermore, these mZNPs demonstrated drug delivery attributes, with 43.3% loading efficiency and 80.33% entrapment efficiency for aspirin. Notably, the release kinetics of aspirin from the mZNPs were investigated in simulated fluids of varying pH, with the highest release (98.1%) observed in simulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8). The formulation exhibits typical time-dependent release kinetics under mild pH conditions (7.4 and 6.8), while transitioning to erosion-controlled diffusion mechanisms in acidic pH conditions (1.2).

Thus, the current investigation tried to find new promising alternatives such as herbal therapy and biopolymer nanotechnology to combat MDR microbes. Apricot kernels extract was prepared and its amygdalin content was determined by HPLC analysis. Carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CMC NPs) encapsulated with amygdalin extract (Am ext) were synthesized and characterized through their morphology, particle size, zeta potential and thermal analysis. The antibacterial activity of Am ext, CMC NPs and CMC-Am ext NPs were evaluated against MDR bacteria. Moreover, to confirm the antibacterial action of the samples, bacterial DNA fragmentation analysis was performed. Furthermore, the cyanide ions released from bacterial breakdown of amygdalin was confirmed using Nanocolor Cyanide 08 Test 0–31 kits. The HPLC analysis indicated that amygdalin extracted efficiently from the apricot kernels. The CMC-Am ext NPs exhibited spherical shaped and mono dispersed particles of size 28 nm; physical stability and thermal compatibility. Additionally, CMC-Am ext NPs have significant antibacterial action on all MDR microbes in synergy with Am ext. Moreover, the results confirmed that the cyanide ions were released from amygdalin breakdown by the action of bacteria. Furthermore, the DNA fragmentation analysis confirmed that both Am ext and its nano-encapsulated form caused bacterial cell death by inducing DNA damage. Therefore, these findings demonstrate CMC-Am ext NPs as a novel potential therapeutic agent which can be used as an alternative to the current antibiotics against MDR bacteria.","PeriodicalId":7359,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
