Abstract

In recent decades, metal oxide nanoparticles have acquired relevance in biology and medicine due to their unique physicochemical properties. Because of its cheap cost, biodegradability and low toxicity, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have attracted a lot of interest from researchers for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been studied for various biological applications due to its unique semiconducting, optical and piezoelectric characteristics. The growing interest in nano zinc oxide has led to the discovery and development of nanoparticle production technologies. ZnO nanocomposites with varied morphologies have recently been prepared using a physical and chemical method. ZnO NPs have also been employed to deliver different bioactive and chemotherapeutic anticancer medicines to tumour cells in a targeted and sustained manner. This review discusses on the properties, synthesis, drug delivery method for cancer treatment and many other biological uses of ZnO NPs.
