The research aims to evaluate the structural and biological properties of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles as biomaterials.
Hydrothermal synthesis of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles.
Characterization through XRD and SEM analyses.
Testing for antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi.
Assessment of hemolytic response and antioxidant effects.
Synthesis produced phase-pure hydroxyapatite nanoparticles approximately 25 nm in size.
Antifungal testing showed a 20 mm inhibition zone against C. albicans.
Antibacterial activity demonstrated inhibition zones ranging from 18 to 23 mm against several bacteria.
Low hemolytic responses indicated excellent blood compatibility.
Higher concentrations of HANPs showed increased antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Chavan et al. (2026) studied this question.
