“…Similar effects reported in higher organisms have now been largely attributed to the redox-active nature of copper and the ability of copper to catalyze the generation of free radicals that promote membrane lipid peroxidation [67][68][69][70]. For example, Cu 2+ uniquely catalyzed peroxidation of rat erythrocyte membrane lipid in the presence of 10 mM H 2 O 2 , while several other transition metal ions had no significant effect [70].…”

Copper ions, either alone or in copper complexes, have been used to disinfect liquids, solids and human tissue for centuries. Today copper is used as a water purifier, algaecide, fungicide, nematocide, molluscicide as well as an anti-bacterial and anti-fouling agent. Copper also displays potent anti-viral activity. This article reviews (i) the biocidal properties of copper; (ii) the possible mechanisms by which copper is toxic to microorganisms; and (iii) the systems by which many microorganisms resist high concentrations of heavy metals, with an emphasis on copper.

“…Lipid profiles have been explored in some patients and found affected, but inconsistently, with the exception of a higher neutral lipid content of VLDL in all tested MND patients compared to controls. Interestingly, although ApoB in patients appeared normal, it degraded faster during storage suggesting lower stability (73). Variations in lipid profiles could also be age-related.…”

“…This eventually leads to the leakage of mobile cellular solutes, such as potassium ions, and cell death. Similar effects reported in higher organisms are now mainly due to the redox-active nature of copper and its ability to stimulate the production of free radicals that promote membrane lipid peroxidation. − …”

Today, consumers are well aware of the functional protection properties of textiles, in addition to their aesthetic appearance. The use of nanoparticles for specialty finishing is an emerging area in textile processing and engineering. With the advancement in technology, it is possible to fabricate nanoparticles of the desired size and shape with various functional properties. Reports are available on the use of nanoparticles for antimicrobial, UV protection, flame retardant, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic finishes on textiles. Pathogens are a potential threat to humans and also gaining resistance to conventional antimicrobial agents. Thus, it is needed to find new and sustainable antimicrobial formulations. Metal nanoparticles have the potential ability to penetrate and destroy the cell membrane structure and eventually cause cell death. The nano-finished textiles could find various medical and hygienic applications. This review discusses recent research attempts to impart antimicrobial finishes to textiles using metal nanoparticles, focusing on the action of microbes on textiles, the synthesis and application of nanoparticles, their antimicrobial properties, the mechanism of action, toxicity studies, and important applications.
