Special Issue on
Control of Infectious Diseases with Bio-Inorganic Nanodrugs

CALL FOR PAPERS

In recent years, much research has been devoted to the development of nanodrugs Lead Editor
and their various biomedical applications. Nanodrugs are classified into different S Kumaran, Sathyabama Institute of
types according to their characteristics and applications across various disciplines. Science and Technology, Chennai, India
The most commonly used nanoparticles are metal, polymer, or metal oxide nanopar- kumarans.cddd@sathyabama.ac.in
ticles, nanocomposites, which are a combination of metal-metal, polymer-metals,
metal-metal oxide, or metal oxide-polymer nanoparticles, or nanoformulations, Guest Editors
which are a combination of nanoparticles with bioactive compounds. Wilson Aruni, Loma Linda University,

Many chemical and biological-based drugs are used in the control of infectious drwilsonaruni@hotmail.com
diseases caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. These potential
drugs are actively involved in killing and reducing the growth of microbes in humans Senthil Rethinam, Ege University,
and animals. However, chemical drugs and antibiotics can cause many harmful Ismaiyr, Turkey
side effects. Nanoparticles are very small and are actively involved in antiviral senthilbiop@gmail.com
and antimicrobial activity against many pathogens. Nanodrug-based studies have
recently shown, both in vitro and in vivo, that nanodrugs can be applied to Submission Deadline
control various infectious pathogens, including those involved in gastroenteritis, Friday, 4 November 2022
sexually transmitted diseases, urinary tract infections, hepatitis, skin infections, eye
infections, and oral diseases. Publication Date
March 2023
The aim of the special issue is to collect research covering areas relevant to the use of
bio-based nano drugs for the control of various infectious diseases.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

Preparation of natural product-based nanodrugs
Role of nanodrug characterization in infectious disease control
Role of nanodrugs in bacterial infections
Role of nanodrugs in fungal infections
Role of nanodrugs in viral infections
Nanodrugs used in parasitic infections
Antimicrobial mechanisms of nanodrugs
Antiviral activity of nanodrugs and its mechanism
Commercial nanodrugs
In vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of nanodrugs
