Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, physicochemical and neurological study profile

ConclusionOur assays demonstrate that S-DFO does not induce cellular or biochemical stress and has no adverse effect on organ development of zebrafish embryos, suggesting its safe use as an iron chelator.Graphical abstract
