Essential metal ions, such as gold, zinc, copper, cadmium, silver, titanium, and platinum, play crucial roles in maintaining physiological functions in the human body. The ability of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to enhance the therapeutic performance of drugs loaded onto metal and soft metal ion nanoparticles (NPs) has been highlighted, underscoring its significance in nanomedicine. This review article focuses on investigating the production process of these NPs and their potential benefits. β-CDs have emerged as desirable building blocks for creating metal and soft metal ion NPs, enhancing the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of inorganic NPs. These agents improve drug characteristics by forming inclusive compounds with drugs, effectively addressing the challenge of low drug loading capacity associated with metal and soft metal NPs. Cyclodextrins (CDs) function as stabilising agents in metal NPs during their creation, reducing agglomeration and ensuring colloidal stability. This review provides valuable insights into the potential applications of metal and soft metal ion NPs functionalized with β-CD in the biomedical domain and paves the way for advancements in NP-based drug delivery systems.
