Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) generate reactive oxygen species and thus induce phototoxicity against bacteria cancer cells due to their photocatalytic effects under light irradiation. This review introduces discusses recent research regarding the utilization of ZnO NPs for light-triggered antibacterial anticancer activities.
Chemotherapeutic drugs are traditionally used for the treatment of cancer. However, chemodrugs generally induce side effects and decrease anticancer due to indiscriminate diffusion poor drug delivery. To overcome these limitations chemotherapy, in this study, ultrasound-responsive liposomes were fabricated as carriers delivering doxorubicin, which was able cancer cell death. The ultrasound-sensitive liposome demonstrated a size distribution 81.94 nm, entrapment efficiency doxorubicin 97.1 ±...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive therapeutic strategy involving photosensitizers and external light for the selective destruction of target tumors. Chemo-photodynamic combination has attracted widespread attention to improve outcome cancer treatment by PDT only. In this study, light-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated zinc oxide nanorods (PEG-ZnO NRs) were synthesized complexed with pro-oxidant piperlongumine (PL) achieve...
