20.500.12556/DKUM-87944 Sustainable Biodegradable Biopolymer-Based Nanoparticles for Healthcare Applications Biopolymeric nanoparticles are gaining importance as nanocarriers for various biomedical applications, enabling long-term and controlled release at the target site. Since they are promising delivery systems for various therapeutic agents and offer advantageous properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and stability compared to various toxic metal nanoparticles, we decided to provide an overview on this topic. Therefore, the review focuses on the use of biopolymeric nanoparticles of animal, plant, algal, fungal, and bacterial origin as a sustainable material for potential use as drug delivery systems. A particular focus is on the encapsulation of many different therapeutic agents categorized as bioactive compounds, drugs, antibiotics, and other antimicrobial agents, extracts, and essential oils into protein- and polysaccharide-based nanocarriers. These show promising benefits for human health, especially for successful antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The review article, divided into protein-based and polysaccharide-based biopolymeric nanoparticles and further according to the origin of the biopolymer, enables the reader to select the appropriate biopolymeric nanoparticles more easily for the incorporation of the desired component. The latest research results from the last five years in the field of the successful production of biopolymeric nanoparticles loaded with various therapeutic agents for healthcare applications are included in this review. nanoparticles biopolymers therapeutic substances incorporation biocompatibility healthcare biomedical applications nanodelci biopolimeri terapevtske snovi inkorporacija biokompatibilnost zdravstvena nega biomedicinske aplikacije true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms Članek v reviji 2024-04-02 14:14:09 2024-04-02 14:33:36 2024-05-20 12:22:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-45 Št. 4, št. članka 3188 Letn. 24 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-12-29 2023-02-02 2023-02-06 577:620.3 140882435 10.3390/ijms24043188 1422-0067 Kucuk-2023-Sustainable_Biodegradable_Biopolyme.pdf Kucuk-2023-Sustainable_Biodegradable_Biopolyme.pdf 1 FEC57D105A7A9B0CB9160DA53E19842D c55ecc5d39b01567ac20e6e9e695f897e9c687bed4b6f12631548b5af4cfb378 c4afe6b2-f0ec-11ee-9041-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177780 https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/4/3188 0 d3f2e2f6-f0ec-11ee-9041-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177781 Fakulteta za kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
