Abstract EN
This review deals with nanoparticles synthesized using heparin.
Such nanoparticles have been widely studied since a long time ago, obtaining satisfactory outcomes.
An outstanding aspect of these nanoparticles is that they possess good biocompatible characteristics, and since heparin is produced in the human body within the mast cells, this makes these nanoparticles useful for future applications like imaging, disease and cancer treatment, and antibacterial activity.
They can also be used for applications that are not oriented directly to the medical and biological areas such as in the case of analyte detection in aqueous solution, although such studies are very few.
These nanoparticles synthesis is mainly through wet chemistry methods, using heparin that could have been modified or not.
