- The Scientists have used a chitin synthesis fungicide, Nikkomycin, produced by the bacterial Streptomyces spp. to develop Nikkomycin loaded polymeric nanoparticles.
- Chitin is the chief component of fungal cell walls and is absent in the human body.
- The drug loaded nanoparticles were found to disrupt the growth of Aspergillus spp and found effective against fungal infection known as Aspergillosis.
- The nano formulation developed was found to be free of cytotoxic and hemolytic effects.
- The use of polymeric nanoparticles is the most advanced method of drug delivery.
