Different chemoenzymatic strategies for the preparation of carbohydrates and analogues possessing antidiabetic or anticancer activity are summarized. In this sense, some examples illustrating the use of enzymes such as aldolases, lipases or glycosidases (in some cases improved by genetic engineering techniques) are presented, showing the advantages of the implementation of chemoenzymatic protocols, which combine the flexibility of chemical synthesis with the efficiency, selectivity and sustainability of biotransformations to obtain diverse complex carbohydrates, glycoconjugates and glycomimetics.

Introduction: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) exhibit a wide range of biomedical applications majorly used as antiinflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-microbial activity and other biomedical applications because they show less toxicity and are very compatible. Zinc metal is an inorganic and essential element in the human body at the trace level. ZnO NPs are also GRAS substances (Generally Recognized As Safe).
