Abstract
The polymer wrapped magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) for the controlled release of drugs to the specific targeted site is one of the most effective way. In such a way, we have constructed a Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle wrapped chitosan (CS) polymer loaded with Ocimum tenuiflorum extract (phyto drug) for the drug delivery applications. The prepared composite nanomaterial is thoroughly characterized for understanding its crystal structure and surface morphology. Further, the zebra fish (Danio rerio) is chosen for the in vivo toxicity investigation of drug loaded Fe3O4/CS nanospheres. The phyto drug used has proven to have an excellent activity through our studies on zebra fish. Therefore, our designed drug loaded Fe3O4/CS nanospheres can be advocated for the real time diagnosis.
