“…In 2 O 3 exhibited strong antimicrobial effects against Gram-negative bacteria. The results demonstrate that In 2 O 3 causes damage to the bacterial cell membranes and controls the activity of some membranous enzymes which kills the E. coli and can be useful in the treatment of infectious diseases [ 86 ].…”

The rise in antimicrobial resistance is a cause of serious concern since the ages. Therefore, a dire need to explore new antimicrobial entities that can combat against the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance is realized. Studies have shown that the activity of the strongest antibiotics has reduced drastically against many microbes such as microfungi and bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). A ray of hope, however, was witnessed in early 1940s with the development of new drug discovery and use of metal complexes as antibiotics. Many new metal-based drugs were developed from the metal complexes which are potentially active against a number of ailments such as cancer, malaria, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, this review is an attempt to describe the present scenario and future development of metal complexes as antibiotics against wide array of microbes.

Background: Despite the fact that fluoride-based remineralization technologies have dominated preventive dentistry for the past century, but new and innovative nanomaterials approaches are transforming the industry. A variety of unique nanomaterials are now easily available to assist remineralization of dental enamel surface. Objective: investigate the effect of indium oxide nanoparticles application in comparison to de-ionized water and sodium fluoride on human tooth enamel by assessing the morphological changes in enamel ultra-structure. Using a field emission scanning electron microscope, x-ray diffraction, and ultraviolet visible absorption to evaluate the physical characteristics of indium oxide nanoparticles created by laser ablation in liquid. Method: Teeth samples were seventy-two divided randomly into two phases; each phase consists of study and treated groups with indium oxide nanoparticles, control positive treated with sodium fluoride, and control negative with deionized water. Each group was consisted of twelve teeth, from each group two teeth for scanning electron microscopy and the rests were for energy dispersion spectroscopy. Result: result showed change in chemical composition of dental enamel was recorded for both preventive and treatment groups after nanoparticles application and this was supported by energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. Conclusion: Laser prepared indium oxide nanoparticles colloidal suspensions were found to be effective remineralizing agent to dental enamel and thus can be considered as an alternative to sodium fluoride mouth wash.

“…It has excellent properties such as a high specific surface area, favorable electron transportation, tunable band gap, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility [ 8 , 9 ]. On the other hand, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced oxide (RGO) have attracted significant attention due to their unique properties, such as high surface area, good electrical conductivity, and excellent chemical stability [ 10 , 11 ].…”

The incorporation of graphene with metal oxide has been widely explored in various fields, including energy storage devices, optical applications, biomedical applications, and water remediation. This research aimed to assess the impact of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) doping on the photocatalytic and anticancer properties of In2O3 nanoparticles. Pure and In2O3/RGO nanocomposites were effectively synthesized using the single-step microwave hydrothermal process. XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, XPS, Raman, UV–Vis, and PL spectroscopy were carefully utilized to characterize the prepared samples. XRD data showed that synthesized In2O3 nanoparticles had high crystallinity with a decreased crystal size after RGO doping. TEM and SEM images revealed that the In2O3 NPs were spherical and uniformly embedded onto the surface of RGO sheets. Elemental analysis of In2O3/RGO NC confirmed the presence of In, O, and C without impurities. Raman analysis indicated the successful fabrication of In2O3 onto the RGO surface. Uv–Vis analysis showed that the band gap energy was changed with RGO addition. Raman spectra confirmed that In2O3 nanoparticles were successfully anchored onto the RGO sheet. PL results indicated that the prepared In2O3/RGO NCs can be applied to enhance photocatalytic activity and biomedical applications. In the degradation experiment, In2O3/RGO NCs exhibited superior photocatalytic activity compared to that of pure In2O3. The degradation efficiency of In2O3/RGO NCs for MB dye was up to 90%. Biological data revealed that the cytotoxicity effect of In2O3/RGO NCs was higher than In2O3 NPs in human colorectal (HCT116) and liver (HepG2) cancer cells. Importantly, the In2O3/RGO NCs exhibited better biocompatibility against human normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). All the results suggest that RGO addition improves the photocatalytic and anticancer activity of In2O3 NPs. This study highlights the potential of In2O3/RGO NCs as an efficient photocatalyst and therapeutic material for water remediation and biomedicine.
