Abstract:The present in vitro and in vivo study aimed to fabricate and characterize linalool‐zinc oxide nanoparticles (Lin‐ZNP) and evaluate their effectiveness against Toxoplasma gondii infection in terms of inflammation, oxidative stress, and pathogenicity. Lin‐ZNP was synthesized using an ethanolic solution of polyvinyl alcohol. The anti‐Toxoplasma and cytotoxicity activities of Lin‐ZNP were investigated, along with its effects on nitric oxide (NO) production, caspase‐3 activity, and pro‐inflammatory genes.
