Iron oxide nanozymes (IONzymes) have become fundamental components in various analyte detection methodologies such as colorimetric, electrochemistry, fluorescence and luminescence. Their tunability, stability and the possibility of modification, alongside their ability to mimic the catalytic properties of natural enzymes like peroxidase, render them invaluable in analytical chemistry. This review explores the diverse applications of IONzymes across analytical chemistry, with a particular highlighting on their roles in different detection techniques and their potential in biomedical and diagnostic applications.

In this study, we investigate Nurr1 trans-repression activity by targeting this receptor with one of the indole derivatives 3-Indole acetic acid hydrazide (IAAH) loaded onto zinc iron oxide (ZnFeO) NPs coated with PEG. XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and DLS were used to characterize the synthesized IAAH-NPs.
