Novel Colloidal Nanocarrier of Cetylpyridinium Chloride: Antifungal Activities on Species and Cytotoxic Potential on Murine Fibroblasts.

Nanocarriers have been used as alternative tools to overcome the resistance of species to conventional treatments. This study prepared a nanocarrier of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) using iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) conjugated with chitosan (CS), and assessed its antifungal and cytotoxic effects. CPC was immobilized on CS-coated IONPs, and the nanocarrier was physico-chemically characterized.
