The chemotherapy for tuberculosis (TB) is complicated by its long-term treatment, its frequent drug dosing, and the adverse effects of anti-TB drugs. In this study, we have developed two nanocomposites (A and B) by intercalating the anti-TB drug isoniazid (INH) into Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides. The average size of the nanocomposites was found to bê164 nm. The efficacy of the Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides intercalated INH against Mycobacterium tuberculosis was increased by approximately three times more than free INH. The nanocomposites were also found to be active against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Compared to the free INH, the nanodelivery formulation was determined to be three times more biocompatible with human normal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells and 3T3 fibroblast cells at a very high concentration of 50 µg/mL for up to 72 hours. The in vitro release of INH from the Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides was found to be sustained in human body-simulated buffer solutions of pH 4.8 and 7.4. This research is a step forward in making the TB chemotherapy patient friendly.

Article Synopsis
- Plastic films are commonly used for packaging but are linked to environmental issues; researchers explored a sustainable alternative using edible materials like sodium alginate and chitin combined with zinc/aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs).
- The study created active packaging films with varying amounts of LDHs (0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%) and assessed their physical, thermal, and antimicrobial properties.
- Results showed that 3% LDH films doubled tensile strength and reduced permeability while exhibiting significant antibacterial and antifungal effects, making them promising for sustainable packaging solutions.

In this study, in situ electrodeposition of Zn─Al-layered double hydroxides (Zn─Al-LDHs) on the surface of pencil graphite substrate were practiced with interlayer modification by ibuprofen. The prepared composite increases the efficiency of the proposed method by increasing the level of interaction between the sorbent and the selected analytes including acetylsalicylic acid and naproxen (NAP) in real sample. Eventually, the extracted target analytes were injected into high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) for their measurement.

Bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics has created an urgent need to develop enhanced alternatives. Nanocomposites combined with promising antibacterial nanomaterials can show improved antimicrobial activity compared to that of their components. In this work, green synthesized CuO nanoparticles (NPs) supported on an anionic clay with a hydrotalcite-like structure such as Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposite were investigated as antimicrobial agents.

Conventional wound dressings are monolithically designed to cover the injured areas as well as absorb the exudates at injured site. Furthermore, antibacterial drugs and growth prompting factors are additionally appended to realize sensible and omnibearing wound management, exhibiting long and tedious treatment process in practice. Consequently, the creation of multifunctional wound dressings that combines wound repair enhancement with antibacterial properties turns out to be significant for simplifying wound managements.
