What biocompatible alternatives can replace toxic heavy metal-based nanoparticles?
Md. Rehan Alam
Carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g., CNTs, graphene, fullerenes) for drug delivery and biosensing. Lipid-based nanoparticles (e.g., liposomes, NLCs) for controlled drug release and targeted delivery. Silica nanoparticles (e.g., MSNs) for drug delivery and cancer therapy. Polymeric nanoparticles (e.g., PLGA, PEG) for controlled release and gene therapy. Protein and peptide-based nanoparticles (e.g., albumin, peptides) for targeted therapy. Chitosan-based nanoparticles for drug delivery and wound healing. Ceramic nanoparticles (e.g., hydroxyapatite) for bone tissue engineering and drug delivery. Magnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) for imaging and hyperthermia in cancer therapy.
Dear Abdelhak Maghchiche
Biocompatible alternatives to toxic heavy metal-based nanoparticles include:
These alternatives are biocompatible, non-toxic, and widely used in pharmaceutical and medical applications.
Thanks.

There are several biocompatible alternatives to toxic heavy metal-based nanoparticles (such as those containing lead, cadmium, or mercury). These alternatives maintain similar functionalities while reducing toxicity and improving biological safety. You can opt for carbon-based, lipid-based, silicon-based, polymer-based, or quantum dot alternatives.
