Abstract:The development of novel drug candidates for treating microbial infections and cancer turns into a challenging task. The biopolymer‐based nanomaterials have gained popularity for their effective roles in the pharmaceutical sector. The present investigation aims to valorize crab shell wastes to extract chitosan. The obtained (chitosan) biomass was utilized to synthesize chitosan‐zinc oxide nanoparticles (Ch‐ZnO‐NPs). The nanomaterial characterization was achieved by a variety of physicochemical techniques inclu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
