“…On comparing iron oxide nanoparticles group with ferrous sulfate group, there was significant decrease in total iron binding capacity that ascertain the effectiveness of iron oxide nanoparticles than ferrous sulfate in treating anemia. Our result matched with Shafie et al and Zariwala et al [4,17]. In addition, there was a significant decrease in serum MDA level in iron oxide nanoparticle group when compared to ferrous sulfate group which confirms the effectiveness of iron oxide nanoparticles to remove the oxidative stress which may be due to the production of free radicals by ferrous sulfate through Fenton reaction that is made by the remaining free iron unabsorbed from ferrous sulfate [18].…”

F errous sulfate is the most commonly used drug for treatment of iron deficiency anemia, but it is badly absorbed and causes many unfavorable side effects. Nanotechnology is a way to decrease the side effects of drugs and to increase the drug bioavailability. So, this study is designed to investigate the effect of iron oxide nanoparticles in comparison to ferrous sulphate in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in rats. Forty male albino rats were divided into two main groups: Control group (10 rats) and anemic group (30 rats) that received standard iron free basal diet for six weeks. Then the anemic group was subdivided into three groups (10 rats) in each group: anemic control group, ferrous sulfate group (received ferrous sulfate 0.4 mg/ kg b.w/ 10 days) and iron oxide nanoparticles group (received iron oxide nanoparticles 0.4 mg/ kg b.w/ 10 days) in the drinking water. Iron oxide nanoparticlescaused a significant increase in the level of red blood cells (8.80±0.05 10 6 /µL), hemoglobin (18.46±0.33 g/dL), hematocrit (46.66±0.23 %), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (53.02±0.3 FL), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (39.56±0.6 %), ferritin (447.6±9.02 µg/L), transferrin saturation (138.0±1.5), total iron binding capacity (TIBC) (145.00±1.15 mg/dL) and serum iron (276.33±2.07 mg/dL). Moreover, it decreased serum malondialdehyde (MDA) (31.85±0.34 nmol/g) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (312.66±1.7 mg/L) when compared to ferrous sulfate group and anemia control groups. These results revealed that iron oxide nanoparticles proved as an effective drug for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in rats.

“…It was observed that increasing the concentration of ferrous iron as a percentage (w/w) of the encapsulating material led to a gradual decrease in iron entrapment, with an initial iron loading at 10% concentration resulting in as little as 3% entrapment [35]. Chitosan concentration in the nanocarrier was also optimised in a previous work performed by the authors [35]. This is in agreement with previous studies that have reported a correlation between decreased iron entrapment and high initial ferrous iron concentration.…”

“…Aliquots of nanocarrier dispersions were subjected to ultracentrifugation (11336 g, 60 minutes, 4 ºC) in a refrigerated laboratory centrifuge (Heraeus Fresco 70, Thermo Fisher, UK). The supernatant was collected and iron concentrations determined using the iron chelator ferrozine [33] as previously described , [34,35], and measuring the absorbance of the coloured complex spectrophotometrically at 562 using a microplate reader (VersaMax, Molecular Devices, USA) [33]. Measurements were repeated in triplicate, and results expressed as means ± standard deviations.…”

The application of nanotechnology in medicine, diagnostics, therapeutics, drug delivery, etc. in order to overcome the limitations faced by these fields has already been established. Anaemia and osteoporosis are two of the most widely prevalent iron and calcium deficiency diseases among women. Conventional drugs for both have their inherent limitations which can be overcome by nanotechnology. Nanonization of drugs has been established as a very efficient way to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to this, encapsulation of drugs in solid lipid nanoparticles is also employed to increase the stability of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract and to facilitate its controlled release. Nanotechnology is also applied in bone tissue engineering to prepare bone grafts for bone injury. Nanotechnology-based bone grafts have shown to possess enhanced mechanical properties and better biocompatibility and osteoconduction than the conventional bone grafts. This review article highlights the research trends and challenges of nanotechnology based drugs to combat iron deficiency anaemia and osteoporosis. This review outlines the recent research trends in nano-drugs and touches on issues concerning the market, industries and patents pertaining to drugs for anaemia and osteoporosis. To provide the safety and risk factors of nanomaterials, we have briefly highlighted the toxicological aspects of nanomaterials used in drugs.
