“…These results are in good agreement with previous findings of Mahajan et al, [31] for ZnO NPs in mung at 20 ppm and gram at 1 ppm, Jayarambabu and Kumari [32] for ZnO NPs at 50 and 100 mg in mungbean and Reddy et al, [25] for ZnO NPs at 150 mg in mungbean.…”

“…The ZnO NPs solution were dispersed at different concentrations (25,50,75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ppm) in deionized water with continous stirring for 10 min. The priming of greengram seeds for different concentrations was carried out by soaking 100 g of seeds in 35 ml of solution for 3 h. The control was used as without ZnO NPs i.e., seeds treated with deionized water.…”

“…The concentration at 125 ppm recorded highest germination 8.84 % over the control. The enhanced seed germination was due to the penetration of ZnO NPs into seed coat and this stimulated the growth hormones especially indole acetic acid (IAA) [25]. The decreased germination at higher concentrations could be the increase in absorption and accumulation of these nanoparticles, both in extracellular space and within the cells resulting in reduction in cell division, cell elongation and inhibition of the hydrolytic enzymes involved in food mobilization during the process of seed germination [12].…”

“…The white powder that was synthesized was shown to be stiochiometric ZnO by studying the characteristic peak in the FTIR spectrum of ZnO NPS. [15,[17][18][19] Some distinct peaks at wave number 1504.78 cm À 1 , 1270 cm À 1 and 2500-3600 cm À 1 were also found from FTIR spectrum of FCZ-ZnO-HAp. The peaks correspond to triazole ring stretch, CÀ F stretch, hydrogen-bonded OÀ H stretching vibrations, respectively.…”

Osteomyelitis (OM), a debilitating disease caused by a microbial infection of the bones, continues to pose a formidable obstacle for orthopedic surgeons. The conventional methods for the prevention and treatment of OM are insufficient. In this research work, we developed a strategic green nanostructure using the antifungal drug Fluconazole (FCZ)‐assimilated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanostructures as filler and hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) as matrix by a solution‐based chemical method. The ceramic carrier‐like nanostructures ZnO and HAp were synthesized by the in situ precipitation method. The physicochemical characterization of the prepared polymer‐coated drug ceramic nanocomposite (FCZ‐ZnO‐HAp‐PCL) was achieved using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), particle size distribution (PSD), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and Energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX) analysis. Furthermore, the biocompatibility and anticancer activity of the nanocomposite were explored by an MTT assay study. Successfully synthesized FCZ‐ZnO‐HAp‐PCL nanocomposite exhibited profound antimicrobial activity against targeted microbe species and potential cytotoxicity towards MCF‐7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines, which may be potentially used for the treatment of OM and prospective infections.

Nanotechnology, a versatile field, holds promise in diverse applications, such as advanced pharmaceutical techniques and innovative chemical compound fabrication. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified sepsis as a global health priority, attributing most sepsis‐related deaths to the underlying infection. Sepsis is a complex disease that manifests in various ways, depending on factors, such as pathogen involved, mode of transmission, and the patient's immune competence. This study focuses on synthesizing zinc oxide (ZnO) through an in‐situ precipitation method and employing a solution‐based technique to coat the inorganic ZnO nanomaterial with the antimicrobial drug fluconazole (FLZ), resulting in a FLZ‐ZnO composite. Further enhancement is achieved by modifying the composite with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to improve mechanical strength, physicochemical characteristics, and the interfacial network between ZnO and FLZ. Characterization through X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), particle size distribution (PSD), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirms the synthesized compounds are stoichiometric in nature. The FLZ‐ZnO‐PVA nanocomposite demonstrates significant antifungal activity against C. albicans and A. niger, as well as enhanced antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus evaluated through well diffusion technique. In vitro cellular compatibility assessment using the MTT assay with NIH‐3T3 cells reveals exceptional viability (above 75%) and negligible cytotoxicity at a concentration of 1.56 μg/mL, indicating high biosafety. The FLZ‐ZnO‐PVA nanocomposite exhibits outstanding biological performance, making it a promising candidate for clinical applications in preventing sepsis and prospective infections.Highlights Developments and preparation of FLZ‐ZnO‐PVA nanocomposite. FLZ‐ZnO‐PVA nanocomposite shows optimum antimicrobial activity. FLZ‐ZnO‐PVA shows cytotoxicity against the mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line. FLZ‐ZnO‐PVA could be used as a suitable material for treatment of sepsis.
