Abstract

Z oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (grown in the template of folic acid) are biologically useful, luminescent material. It can be used for multifunctional purposes, such as biosensor, bioimaging, targeted drug delivery and as growth promoting medicine. Though, ZnO is categorized as: “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) but ZnO nanoparticle system may be cytotoxic. ZnO nanosystem could be of important relevance in the context of nanomedicine, where targeted treatment of biological systems at molecular level is a necessity. ZnO quantum dots with their surface modification and bio-conjugation for selective destruction of tumor cells and their potential use for drug delivery applications is the cardinal issue of this presentation..
