DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0034] In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the inventive nanosolutions are described only for clarifying the subject matter in a manner such that no limiting effect is created.
[0035] In the state of the art, obtaining nanoparticles in sizes that will allow the penetration of ozone into application areas such as cells and the release rates of ozone provided by these particles were limited in systems where ozone is carried only by oils. Although in theory these nanoparticles appear to cover all nano sizes down to micron sizes, in practice, it was not possible to obtain stable particles of nano size, such as below 50 nm, that would allow penetration into the cell. Studies have been carried out with the invention so as to provide stable systems containing the smallest nanoparticles that can carry ozone in order to increase the application efficiency of ozone. Surprisingly, these studies have shown that substances such as Polysorbates and PEG, which are included in the emulsifier group, can be ozonized and form stable nanoparticles in smaller sizes compared to carrier oils.
[0036] Size distribution analysis was carried out only in nanosolutions obtained from ozonated oil in the studies carried out within the scope of the invention and the graph of size distribution according to density is given in

[0037] In the studies, size distribution analysis was also carried out for the nanosolution obtained from only ozonated emulsifier, the graph of the size distribution according to the density is given in

Size distribution analysis results according to density in nanosolution obtained from ozonated emulgator (Dispersant RI 1.330 Sample RI 1, Viscosity 0.8872 cP, 25 C,) Standard Dimension % Deviation (d .Math. nm) Intensity: (d .Math. nm) Z- Mean (d .Math. nm) 16.52 Peak 1 19.03 100.0 7.017 Pdl 0.125 Peak 2 0.000 0.000 0.000 Cutting point 0.946 Peak 3 0.000 0.000 0.000
[0038] In the studies carried out within the scope of the invention, it has been demonstrated that alternative formulations in which the nanoparticle size distribution and ozone emission velocity distribution can be determined, can be developed with a nanotechnological method suitable for the content, in terms of the application area of ozonated emulsifier and liposomal ozone nanosolutions obtained from ozonated oils. Nanoparticles obtained by ozonation of emulsifiers provide relatively smaller and faster ozone release to oils. Ozonated liposomal nanosolutions, which are formed by the breakdown of ozonated oils by nanotechnological methods, create many areas of use due to their stability and long-lasting effectiveness. In solutions made with ozonated oil, ozonated emulsifier, and water, the ozone ratio in the oil is determined and solutions are created with the same standards. For example, a solution with a high oil content is used for a long-acting solution, and ozone gas is kept in the oil at a rate of 1-5% by weight. In order to create shorter-acting products, solutions containing 6-15% by weight ozone gas are created. In this way, the effectiveness of liposomal ozone nanosolutions obtained according to the content has been proven by scientific studies in the fields of human, veterinary, food and agriculture; its use in formulations for these areas is also within the scope of the invention.
[0039] Since the pure structures formed by ozone emulsifiers are much smaller particles than liposomes, they reveal more active effects. These structures have active antibacterial effects and at the same time, it is important that they are be coated so as to provide slower released effects. Slower release properties are created by coating the ozone emulsifier with glycerin and PEG.
[0040] The smallest liposome structure formed by coating emulsifiers with emulsifiers is called niosome. The smallest niosome structure is formed by coating the ozone emulsifier with non-ozone emulsifiers. In this way, it is possible to obtain niosomes with active and slow-release ozone. In
[0041] At the same time, these niosomes can be coated with polymers such as glycerin, peg, chitosan, mannitol, and dextran. One or more of these coatings can be used, especially in intravenous formulations and regional injections, so as to reduce the burning effect of ozone and to ensure that it reaches the target organ more easily.

[0141] Irritation Test result in TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 Standards
[0142] In the evaluation made based on the observation values (Chart 3, 4) made at the 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours after the application in the irritation test of the inventive nanosolution, it was determined that the samples did not cause significant erythema and edema in any of the subjects. It has been determined according to the test results carried out in line with the directive of the TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 standard that the inventive nanosolution does not have any irritating effect.
[0143] In Vitro Cytotoxicity Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:
[0144] Cytotoxicity refers to the rate of toxic effects on living cells. Cytotoxicity tests are tests that are evaluated by considering the cell proliferation rate and the toxic effect on the cell in the appropriate cell culture of the substance considered to be toxic. These test systems are carried out for morphological observation of cellular damage, determination of cellular damage by various measurement methods, determination of cellular growth, determination of any change in cellular metabolism. Cytotoxicity tests can be performed in vivo or in vitro. In in vitro tests, the substance whose cytotoxicity is investigated is administered to cells in increasing concentrations. The effects of this substance on cell morphology and cell survival rates are investigated.
[0145] MTT method [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide]: In this method, MTT is reduced to formazan, while the color formed is measured colorimetrically. The amount of formazan produced gives the number of viable cells. MTT is a substance that is actively absorbed into cells and reduced to colored, water-insoluble formazan by a mitochondria-dependent reaction. The MTT reduction property of the cells is taken as a measure of cell viability and the dye density obtained as a result of MTT analysis correlates with the number of viable cells.
[0146] The test system used in this research is based on the following standards;
[0147] TS EN ISO 10993-5:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices—Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity. TS EN ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological evaluation of medical devices—Part 1: Evaluation and testing. TS EN ISO 10993-5:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices—Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials. USP 31, 2008, Chapter 87—Biological reactivity tests, in vitro.
[0148] Extraction of test material, negative and positive groups was carried out with 1600 ppm liposomal ozone nanosolution at 37° C. for 24 hours in accordance with TS EN ISO 10993-12:2012 standards.
[0149] The BALB/c 3T3 (CCL-163) cell line from ATCC was used for the cytotoxicity test study. Cells were propagated in DMEM (dulbecco's modified eagle medium) (ATCC Cat No: 30-2006) medium supplemented with 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) and 2% glutamine and incubated at 37° C. in an oven with 5% CO2. A mixture of 0.25% trypsin and 0.03% EDTA was used for trypsinase of cells as recommended by ATCC. Cells were suspended in culture medium and 100 μl was transferred to 96-well plates with 104 cells in each well.
[0150] After 24 hours of cell culture conditions, the medium on the culture was removed and 100 μl of test material was added from the positive and negative control extracts. All doses were administered with at least 5 repetitions. At the end of 48 hours of waiting in an oven with 5% CO2 at 37° C. and 95% humidity, the culture medium was removed after the plates were examined.
[0151] Negative control (NC): Polyethylene tube
[0152] Positive Control (PK): Serial dilutions of DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) (10-30 v/v)
[0153] Test Material (TM) concentrations: 100-30-10-3-v/v
[0154] After examining the plates, the culture medium was removed from the wells. 50 μl of MTT solution was added to each test well. The plates were incubated for 2 hours at 37° C. Then, the MTT solution was removed from the wells and 100 μl of isopropanol was added to each well. Absorbance measurements were taken and evaluated with a microplate reader containing a 570 nm filter.
[0155] If the viability of the test material is less than 70%, it is considered cytotoxic.

According to the test results carried out in line with the directive of the TS EN ISO 10993-5:2009 standard, it was determined that the test material, the liposomal ozone nanosolution of the invention, did not have a cytotoxic effect.
[0156] Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions In Vivo Acute Ocular Irritation Test:
[0157] The experiment aims to test the material or product that has the potential to cause ocular irritation. The ocular irritation test is only performed for materials that will come into contact with the eye or eyelid and when safety information cannot be obtained by other means. The test material is carried out in accordance with the directions specified in TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 annex A. If the material to be tested is liquid, 0.1 ml undiluted (1600 ppm dose) is dripped into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye. If the test material is in the spray pump, it is removed from the pump and tested by dropping 0.1 mL as in liquids. We used 3 healthy young adult albino rabbits of both sexes weighing 2 kg to 3 kg from a single strain. The animals were kept in the environmental conditions specified in TS EN ISO 10993-2:2006. Both eyes of each rabbit are visually inspected up to 24 h prior to the start of the experiment so as to determine if an ocular abnormality is present. When the eyes are examined, 2% sodium fluorescein BP (British Pharmacopoeia) can be used to visualize any corneal damage.
[0158] After the test sample was instilled into the conjunctival sac, the eyelids were held together for about 1 hour. For Observation of Animals and determination of the Irritation index, it is examined at approximately (1±0.1) s, (24±2) s, (48±2) s, and (72±2) s. Since no lesion was observed, it was not necessary to advance the observations to longer periods. Observations were graded according to the grading scale of the ocular lesions given in Chart 1.

[0159] 0.1 ml of the product of the nanosolution of the invention was instilled In the left eye of the rabbits, both eyes were examined and evaluated approximately (1±0.1) hour after instillation. No indication of any conjunctival irritation caused by the application was observed. Since no signs of permanent or other corneal irritation were observed in the examination performed by instilling 2% sodium fluorescein, it was not necessary to extend the observation period. Evaluations were graded according to Table 1. No positive reaction was observed in any animal. In animals, no ocular changes such as mild or conjunctival membrane peeling and ulceration, corneal perforation (perforation), blood or pus in the anterior chamber of the eye) or—Bloody or hairy (purulent) discharge, or—Severe corneal ulceration were found.

[0160] When the eyes treated with control eyes in the ocular irritation test of the liposomal ozone nanosolution of the invention are evaluated, it was determined that there was no difference, and that the nanosolution of the invention did not cause any changes reflecting any irritation in ocular structures (Conjunctival, cornea, iris). It has been determined according to the observations of the “Ocular Irritation Test” conducted in line with the directive of the TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 standard that the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolution has no ocular irritation effect.
[0161] Oral Mucosal Irritation Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:
[0162] Oral mucosal irritation test was carried out considering the TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 standard, the experimental animal used in the test is considered according to TS EN ISO 10993-2:2006 standard, the material preparation is made according to TS EN ISO 10993-12:2012 standard guidelines. The test is performed for materials intended to come into contact with oral tissue and where safety data cannot be obtained by other means.
[0163] Animals were acclimated to the environment by taking care of them as specified in TS EN ISO 10993-2:2006. Healthy young adult Syrian hamsters of both sexes, unrelated to a single strain, were used for testing. Product sample-impregnated gauze was placed in the inner cheek pouch of each animal under ketamine/Xylazine anesthesia. The exposure time was evaluated according to the rule of reflecting the actual expected use time of the material, and the sample was kept in the inner cheek pouch for 1 hour.
[0164] Test material given under the title of ISO 10993-10:2010 annex A A.2,2 Liquid test materials; Liquids were applied without dilution or by direct precipitation or, if not applicable, at a dose of 1600 ppm, which is the usage dose according to the guideline. Saline solution-impregnated absorbent gauze was used as negative control. As a positive control, HCl acid solution adjusted to pH 1.5 was used in our laboratory based on the rule that liquids with pH 2 and below are considered irritating.
[0165] The left inner cheek pouch of each animal was evaluated for the experimental sample, and the contralateral (Right) inner cheek was considered as the negative control. No material was placed into the right side inner cheek pouch, it was only washed with physiological saline and dissected at the end of the experiment.
[0166] Gauze cloth impregnated with a usage dose of 1600 ppm of the nanosolution of the invention was placed in the left inner cheek pouch of Syrian hamsters under ketamine/Xylazine anesthesia, whose inner cheeks were emptied and washed with saline. After the exposure of the subject to the sample for 1 hour, the sample was removed and the inner cheek was rinsed with saline solution, taking care not to contaminate the other cheek. Experiment (left) and control (right) inner cheek pouches were evaluated macroscopically according to chart 1. The experiment was terminated after 1 hour of contact.

[0167] According to the standard directive, the exposure time should reflect the actual expected use time of the material, but should not be less than 5 minutes. The repeated observation rating (Table 1) performed at long-term chronic exposures is summed up and divided by the total repeat application 4. Since it is a device with subacute use, the application was performed 4 times with one hour intervals. Observations of the sample applied left inner cheek were compared with the right inner cheeks (negative control) washed with saline.

[0169] When the Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) stained preparations prepared from the inner cheek samples taken for histopathological examination from the test product applied group are examined under the microscope, there was no erosion or ulceration in the mucosa, epithelium, leukocyte infiltration and vascular congestion.
[0170] After Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) stained preparations prepared from inner cheek samples taken for histopathological examination were examined under a microscope, it was evaluated whether there was any erosion or ulceration in the epithelium in the mucosa, leukocyte infiltration and vascular congestion. No findings reflecting the irritating appearance of the oral mucosal structures of the application of the product samples of the nanosolution of the invention were found in the subjects in the light microscopic histopathological examination. It was determined that the nanosolution of the invention did not have an irritating effect on the oral mucosa according to the results of the macroscopic and histopathological evaluations of the oral mucosal irritation test applied for materials likely to come into contact with the oral tissue (TS EN ISO 10993-10).
[0171] Mucous Irritation Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:

The test is performed for materials intended to come into contact with nasal tissue and where safety data cannot be obtained by other means.
[0173] Animals were acclimated to the environment by taking care of them as specified in TS EN ISO 10993-2:2006. Twelve healthy young adult BalbC mice of both sexes (6 experiments, 6 controls) unrelated to a single strain were used for testing. A single dose (1 ml) of 1600 ppm nanosolution of the invention was instilled into the nasal cavity of each animal for 4 days.
[0174] Test material given under the title of ISO 10993-10:2010 annex A A.2,2 Liquid test materials; Liquids were applied without dilution or by direct precipitation or, if not applicable, by diluting with a suitable liquid at a dose of 1600 ppm, which is the usage dose according to the guideline. The comparison was made with the Negative control group using only saline. Positive control 4-day irritant application was not applied because it is not ethical in terms of animal welfare.
[0175] The experimental group was formed by dripping a single dose (1 ml) of 1600 ppm nanosolution of the invention into the nasal cavity for 4 days. The control group was formed by dripping the same amount of saline nanosolution into the nasal cavity for 4 days.
[0176] After 4 days of application, the noses of the subjects who were euthanized under high-dose Ketamine/Xylazine anesthesia were dissected and taken into decalcification process to soften the bones after 10% formalin fixative.

[0181] Sensitization Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:
[0182] Sensitization test was carried out considering the TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 standard by the Closed Patch-Buehler Test method, the experimental animal used in the test is considered according to TS EN ISO 10993-2:2006 standard, the material preparation is made according to Annex A standard guidelines.
[0183] At the beginning of the experiment, 10 unrelated healthy young adult albino guinea pigs of both sexes (5 males, 5 females) from a single strain weighing between 300 g and 500 g were used. After the animals were depilated 24 hours before the stimulation, the areas to be treated were shaved. The hair-free areas were thoroughly washed with warm water and dried with a towel before the animals were taken into the cages. After 2 hours of trimming the hairs, the test sites were graded according to the Magnusson and Kligman rating given in Chart 1.

[0184] Test material given under the title of ISO 10993-10:2010 annex A A.2,2 Liquid test materials; Liquids were applied without dilution or by direct precipitation or, if not applicable, by diluting with a suitable liquid at a dose of 1600 ppm, which is the usage dose according to the guideline. Saline solution-impregnated absorbent gauze was used as negative control. As a positive control, 0.8% paraformaldehyde solution is used in our laboratory.
[0185] The gauze impregnated with the inventive nanosolution was applied in direct contact with the upper left and lower right regions of the shaved area. The samples were thus kept in contact with the shaved back skin of the animal for 6 hours. The samples applied to the shaved area were covered with gauze and protected with plaster from the outside. This application was carried out three times a week for three weeks.
[0186] After three weeks of induction, after two weeks of rest, the samples were applied to the opposite sides of the previously induced areas for the stimulation experiment and kept for 6 hours. Evaluation was made at 24 and 48 hours following the stimulation application.
[0187] In the induction phase, observations were made according to Magnusson and Kligman grading at 24±2 and 48±2 hours following three applications per week for three weeks. Re-grading was performed 24±2 and 48±2 hours after the removal of the stimulation patch after a two-week interval.

[0189] In the sensitization test of the inventive nanosolution product using the Closed Patch-Buehler Test method, it was determined that the samples did not cause any appearance of erythema and edema, which is an indication of sensitivity/sensitivity in any of the subjects in the applications and observations made for 5 weeks.
[0190] In line with the directive of the TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 standard, it was determined that the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolution did not have a delayed sensitizing effect as a result of the evaluation of our test observations with the Closed Patch-Buehler Experiment method.
[0191] Antivirus Efficacy Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:
[0192] In order to investigate the biological effect and possible toxic effect of the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolution, epithelial cell culture was first performed. Therefore, the epithelial tissue piece obtained from a biobank was taken into saline (0.09% NaCl) after thawing and separated into small pieces in sterile petri dishes. Pre-prepared medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotic was cultured. After reaching sufficient maturity and saturation in cell culture dishes, they were left to incubate for varying times with varying doses of the product.
[0193] Tracheo-bronchial epithelial cells supplied and generally targeted by human respiratory system viruses were subjected to cell culture process by means of the bioreactor system in its infrastructure to provide an organotypic culture medium. In this process, after incubation with pre-prepared medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotic, in a 3-dimensional, closed system bioreactor containing 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2 for 48 hours, cell culture was continued for another 48 hours by washing with ready-made media. At the end of this period, cells were trypsinized with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA and passaged into other units of the bioreactor system that allow passage into the same medium. The culture was maintained by renewing the medium based on color and pH changes until the cells planted in these areas covered 80% of the surface area. When the cells reach the saturation level in their environment, the cells in a single chamber are exposed to trypsin-mediated treatment, then the 3-dimensional cell culture was separated from the surface and washed. In the remaining chambers, the active substance studies were continued with time and dose adjustments. As a result of the studies, its positive effect on cell proliferation was determined. This study was carried out using bioreactors and culture media that have the ability to imitate human nature.
[0194] After washing, cells were counted, and viability test was performed by flow cytometry. The resuspended cells were read in a 3-laser flow cytometer until there are 10000 cells and viability percentages of the cells obtained from the culture were determined by staining with the viability dye (7AAD). In addition, cultured cells at the level to be harvested were washed and taken into an eppendorf of 500 μL. 100 μL of 0.4% trypan blue solution was added to this cell suspension and incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature, then 10 μL was taken from thereof. Cell viability percentages were determined by placing this volume on the cell count slide and reading in a cell imaging and counting device.
[0195] As can be seen in the chart, the fact that neither proliferation nor viability is observed on healthy host cells is considered as a finding that the product will not cause a toxic effect.

[0199] In Vitro Genotoxicity Bacterial Ames Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:
[0200] Genotoxicity tests were performed on the samples of liposomal ozone nanosolutions of the invention for Intra-articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection and has been shown to have no mutagenic potential.
[0201] Genotoxicity (Bacterial Ames Test) (OECD 471) Information: Studies for the development of various test systems to elucidate the mutagenic effect and the detection of mutagens and to reduce the risk of hereditary diseases and cancers caused by mutagenesis for humans constitute one of the most important research areas of genetic toxicology. The Ames test, which was developed by Bruce Ames in 1972 and applied as a screening test to determine the mutagenic effects of chemical substances, is widely and reliably used as a short-time bacterial test system.
[0202] One of the short-time test systems used to determine the mutations caused by chemicals at the cell level is the Ames test. The Ames test is considered as one of the reliable methods to examine the toxic, mutagenic-carcinogenic effects of test substances, which are intended to be used as pharmaceutical raw materials.

[0210] Negative Control: DMSO
[0211] For the metabolic activation system (S9 mix), Arachlor 1254-induced lyophilized rat liver S9 microsomal fraction was used. The mutagenic potential of the extracts was evaluated in the presence and absence of the S9 mixture. A 30% S9 mixture was used in the tests.
[0212] Bacteria were incubated 1 night before inoculation on ampicillin medium. Control solutions were prepared separately for each bacterium in 1 ml of the appropriate solvent (DMSO or sterile distilled water) specified in the Control Chart. Six concentrations were determined for the test material.
[0213] Prepared culture solutions were added to 384 wellplates. According to the test protocol, it was incubated for 48 hours in a 37-degree oven. At the end of the period, 64 wells per concentration were counted and evaluated according to positive [(yellow-revertant)] and negative [(purple-non-revertant)] wells the test was considered as positive (mutation effect) if two times more mutations were observed in the test strains with and without S9 than in the negative control group.

[0235] In Vitro Cytotoxicity test was performed on the liposomal ozone nanosolution samples of the invention for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection and it was revealed that it did not have cytotoxic potential.
[0236] Extraction of test material, negative and positive groups was carried out in accordance with ISO 10993-12 standards. The extract was prepared by keeping 0.2 grams/ml of test material in DMEM 10% FBS for 72±2 hours at 37±1° C. in a shaking incubator at 200 rpm (The specified standard is based on irregular shaped solid devices. This case is chosen as the worst-case scenario). It was filtered through a 0.22 μm sterile filter and defined as 100% extract. Percentages of other extracts were formed by dilution of DMEM 10% FBS. No color change was observed (In-lab test method).
[0237] L-929 mouse fibroblast cell line from ATCC for cytotoxicity test study (NCTC clone 929: CCL 1, American Type Culture Collection [ATCC] was used. Cells were propagated in DMEM (dulbecco's modified eagle medium) (ATCC Cat No: 30-2006) medium supplemented with 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) and 2% glutamine and incubated at 37t in an oven with 5% CO2. A mixture of 0.25% trypsin and 0.03% EDTA was used for trypsinase of cells as recommended by ATCC. Cells were suspended in culture medium and 100 μl was transferred to 96-well plates with 104 cells in each well.
[0238] After 24 hours of cell culture conditions, the medium on the culture was removed and 100 μl of test material was added from the positive and negative control extracts. All doses were administered with at least 5 repetitions. At the end of 48 hours of waiting in an oven with 5% CO2 at 37° C. and 95% humidity, the culture medium was removed after the plates were examined.
[0239] Negative control (NC): Cell culture medium (DMEM+10% FBS) was incubated under the same conditions as the extracts for 72 hours.

[0252] It was determined that liposomal ozone nanosolution for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection did not have any irritating effect according to the test results carried out in line with the directive of the TS EN ISO 10993-10:2010 standard.
[0253] Subcutaneous Implantation 7-14 Days Test of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions (TS EN ISO 10993-6:2016)
[0254] Subcutaneous Implantation test was performed on the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolution samples for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection and it has been shown that it does not cause any inflammatory reaction.
[0255] The purpose of the test method is to determine the history and course of the tissue response, which includes the eventual integration or resorption/degradation of the material after medical device/biomaterial implantation. Particularly, the degradation properties and texture response of the material are determined for degradable/absorbable materials.
[0256] Implants are tested by placing them in the back subcutaneous tissue of adult mice, rats, guinea pigs or rabbits.
[0257] Healthy Wistar rats weighing 200-300 g and 10 weeks old of both sexes were used in the test studies. The subjects were kept in a sheltering area with 60% humidity and a constant temperature of 22° C. during the test. The subjects were given normal rat feed and tap water. Dust-free autoclaved wood shavings were used as substrate. At the end of the experiment, all animals were euthanized.
[0258] Liposomal ozone nanosolution samples could not be applied directly under the skin (implantation). Product implantation was performed under operating room conditions by placing rats anesthetized at a dose of Ketamine 85 mg/kg, Xylazine 15 mg/kg body weight, under the dorsal skin on either side of the spine. After the hairs were removed by shaving the operation area, it was cleaned by wiping with an antiseptic solution. The implantation period was determined as 2 weeks, and at the end of the process, the subjects were euthanized using deep anesthesia, and the implantation areas were opened, and macroscopic observation was made. Tissue samples dissected from the implantation area were taken for microscopic examination.
[0259] The treated animals did not show any abnormalities in their daily behavior and activation. No abnormality was observed in its movements and walk. Their eating habits and social behavior in the cage were normal.
[0260] At the end of the fourteen-day implantation period, it was observed that the Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection nanosolution product was absorbed under the skin and disappeared in the hypodermis in the macroscopic examination in the implantation area. No lymph node formation and inflammatory structure were observed around the implantation focus. No lymphatic focus or extra lymphocyte infiltration and metaplasic changes were observed at the implantation site in hypodermal tissues in the histopathological examination.
[0261] According to the protocol and evaluation criteria specified in the TS EN ISO 10993-6: 2016 document, it was observed that the Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection Nanosolution was completely absorbed and lost, and did not cause any inflammatory or metaplasic changes in harmony with the subcutaneous tight connective tissue in the implantation area in the 14-day subcutaneous implantation application as a result of the implantation experiments of the Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection nanosolution product tested with the observations and measurements.
[0262] Consequently, following 14 days of subcutaneous implantation of Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection Nanosolution, it was determined that it was completely absorbed without leaving any residue in the implantation area and integrated with the surrounding tissue and did not cause any inflammatory reaction.
[0263] Intramuscular Implantation Test (TS EN ISO 10993-6:2016) of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions:
[0264] Intramuscular Implantation test of liposomal ozone nanosolution samples of the invention for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection was performed and it has been shown that it does not cause any deformative or inflammatory effects in muscle tissue.
[0265] The aim of the test method is to determine the date and course of the tissue response, which includes the eventual integration or resorption/degradation of the material after implantation of the medical device/biomaterial. Particularly, the degradation properties and texture response of the material are determined for degradable/absorbable materials. Implants should be inserted into the Panniculus carnosa or gluteal region muscles of adult mice, rats, guinea pigs or rabbits. Implant specimens should be implanted aseptically and without any damage prior to or during implantation. A minimum of three animals and sufficient space are used to obtain a total of 10 test and 10 control specimens for each material and implantation period. When multiple tissue samples are taken from a single implant site, the histology sections should be at least 1 cm apart.
[0266] In the test studies, 6 (3 female/3 male) BALB/c mice weighing 17-20 g were used as subjects. The subjects were kept in a sheltering area with 60% humidity and a constant temperature of 22° C. during the test. The subjects were given normal rat feed and tap water. Dust-free autoclaved wood shavings were used as substrate. At the end of the experiment, all animals were euthanized.
[0267] 2 ml of Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection Solution was injected into the right and left gluteal muscles of the subjects. 14 days after the injection, the gluteal muscles of the right and left legs were dissected and examined microscopically from the subjects who were anesthetized with Ketamine 85 mg/kg and Xylazine 15 mg/kg.
[0268] The treated animals did not show any abnormalities in their daily behavior and activation. No abnormality was observed in its movements and walk. Their eating habits and social behavior in the cage were normal.
[0269] At the end of the 14-day implantation period, after ether anesthesia, cervical dislocation was applied to the subjects, and injection sites were opened in the gluteal muscles of the hind extremities. Injection areas were examined macroscopically. No residues related to Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection Nanosolution were found. In addition, lymphatic focus formation due to inflammation in the muscle was not observed.
[0270] When the gluteal regions where liposomal ozone nanosolution was injected were examined; it was observed macroscopically that the muscle structures have a normal appearance. It was observed during the dissection of the muscle that there were no different tissue masses or lymphatic foci within the muscle. It was observed that the liposomal ozone nanosolution injected into the muscle tissue was completely absorbed by the tissue and did not leave any residue. It was observed that the injection of liposomal ozone nanosolution in the muscle tissue did not cause any negative structural changes in the tissue.
[0271] It was determined that lysosomal ozone nanosolution samples for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection did not cause any deterioration or deformation in the muscle tissue, and lymphocyte infiltration in the muscle during microscopic examinations.
[0272] The intramuscular implantation test of the liposomal ozone nanosolution product was performed according to the protocol and evaluation criteria specified in the TS EN ISO 10993-6:2016 document. Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection product at the end of the 2-week gluteal experiment period, it was determined that the samples were completely absorbed and there was no residue left in observation and evaluations. It was determined macroscopically and microscopically that the injection was in harmony with the muscle tissue and did not cause deformation and inflammatory reaction in the muscle structure.
[0273] As a result, it was determined that intramuscular implantation applications of liposomal ozone nanosolution product for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection did not cause any deformative or inflammatory effect on muscle tissue.
[0274] Liposomal Ozone Nanosolution Biopsy+Histopathology/Hematoxylin Eosin Staining Test:
[0275] In the liposomal ozone nanosolution samples of the invention for Intra-Articular/Subcutaneous/Intramuscular Injection, in an experimental study on rats, 280 skin biopsy materials from 56 female rats of Sprague downey breed, 2 months old, were euthanized at the end of the experiment, microscopic examinations of the tissues of the lungs, liver and kidneys were made so as to observe the “Healing Effects in Regional Subcutaneous Applications”.

[0288] —Test Analysis Results of Herbal Solutions—
[0289] Laboratory Test on the Effect of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions on the Biological Activities of Harmful Carpoglyphus lactis (L.) (Acari: Carpoglyphidae) in Dried Apricots:
[0290] Carpoglyphus lactis (L.) (Astigmata: Carpoglyphidae), an important mite pest of dried fruits, causes the product to deteriorate, release unpleasant odors and eventually lose its market value when they are fed with fruit sugars of the dried apricots. Previous studies have shown that ozone gas can be used for control purposes in dried fruits due to its poisonous property against mites. However, due to the rapid decomposition of ozone gas into O2 and O—, its short persistence limits the use of this gas in mite control. The biological activities of the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolutions on this harmful mite were investigated in the study carried out within the scope of the invention. The lethality [lethal concentrations (LC), lethal time (LT)], repellent and egg laying inhibitor effects and persistence of the formulation on mites were evaluated in the study. This study showed that 0.27% concentration of the formulation killed 90% of female mites within 48 hours. According to the results of the probit analysis, lethal time (LT90) was determined as 121, 81.5 and 66 hours, respectively in case the liposomal ozone nanosolution of the invention is used against mites at rates of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4%. Persistence tests showed that there was no statistically significant change in the lethal effects of the formulation during the first 7 days. However, after 10 days, a decrease of 12-17% in its lethal effect was detected. According to Pearson's chi-square test for evasive effect, strong escapes of C. lactis females were observed from apricots sprayed with concentrations above 0.1% of the formulation. In conclusion, it was determined with this study that the determined doses of the nanosolutions of the invention had toxic and repellent effects on C. lactis females. It has been demonstrated by this study that the formulation can be used in the control of C. lactis if the dried apricots are exposed to the doses determined here, with the persistence of the formulation for 10 days.
[0291] Laboratory Test on Toxic Effect of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions on Bacterial Crown Gall Nematode (Meloidogyne sp.):
[0292] The use of the inventive liposomal nanosolutions in the field of Plant Protection was investigated with three different samples containing Ozone (1), Ozone+Acetic Acid (2), Ozone+Acetic Acid+Tymol (3) so as to investigate the possibilities of use in agriculture. Bacterial crown gall nematodes, which cause crop losses in agriculture and have limited means of struggle, have been discussed in the studies carried out, the effects of the nanosolutions of the invention on the bacterial crown gall nematode (Meloidogyne sp.) were tested and it was investigated whether there were opportunities to fight this pest. Nanosolutions were stored at +4° C. until use. Bacterial crown gall nematodes used as target pests were collected as female individuals from the galls on infected plant roots in Bursa Karacabey tomato fields. Since the period that moves freely in the soil and infects the plant is the second period, 2nd period larvae were obtained from collected female individuals and experiments were carried out on 2nd period larvae. However, the species identification of bacterial crown gall nematode Meloidogyne was not made, it was expressed over the genus (Meloidogyne sp.).
[0293] The solutions were diluted in sterile distilled water to obtain the following doses: Solution #1: (2000 ppm liposomal ozone nanosolution) 50%, 25% and 12.5%, 2 Solutions 2 and 3: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%.
[0294] Each solution was placed in sterile glass petri dishes with a diameter of 6 cm at the above doses, approximately 20 ml, and immediately after that, approximately 100 (±10) 2nd period nematode larvae were added to each petri dish. Afterwards, the petri dishes were shaken in a vortex for 1 minute and homogenization was achieved. Then, the petri dishes were covered and left for incubation at room temperature until the end of the experiment. As a control group, nematodes were kept only in sterile distilled water for the specified times.
[0295] The efficiency (toxicity) of the nanosolution was determined by counting the dead nematodes at the end of each solution trial at 6, 12 and 24 hours. Each experiment was carried out in 3 replications.
[0296] Solution 1, that is, nanosolution containing only “Ozone” in its content, tends to increase in its toxic effect as the exposure time on the nematode increases. However, there is no difference in efficacy between 12 hours and 24 hours. The lowest effect was detected after 6 hours and at the lowest dose of 12.5%, 25%, it was determined after 12 and 24 hours that it was effective on almost all nematodes at 50% dose, that is, it had a toxic effect. These 3 results show that solution 1 has a promising effect in combating Meloidogyne sp.
[0297] Solution 2, that is, nanosolution containing “Ozone+Acetic Acid”, tends to increase in its toxic effect as the exposure time on the nematode increases. However, there is no difference in efficacy between 12 hours and 24 hours. While the lowest effect was detected at the rate of 35% at the lowest dose of 0.1% after 6 hours, it was determined that it had a toxic effect on almost all nematodes at 0.3% and 0.4% doses after 12 and 24 hours. This result shows that solution 2 has a promising effect in combating Meloidogyne sp.
[0298] Solution 3, that is, nanosolution containing “Ozone+Acetic Acid+Thymol”, tends to increase in its toxic effect as the exposure time on the nematode increases. However, there is no difference in efficacy between 12 hours and 24 hours. While the lowest effect was detected at the rate of 42% at the lowest dose of 0.1% after 6 hours, it was determined that it had a toxic effect on almost all nematodes at 0.3% and 0.4% doses after 12 and 24 hours. This result shows that solution 3 has a promising effect in combating Meloidogyne sp.
[0299] As a result, increasing synergetic toxic effect of nanosolutions with 3 different ingredients on bacterial crown gall Meloidogyne sp. nematode has been shown. It has been demonstrated that the liposomal ozone nanosolutions of the invention have a high potential to suppress harmful nematodes, especially in the fight against this nematode in greenhouses.
[0300] Laboratory Test on Toxic Effect of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions on Two-Spotted Spider (Tetranychus Urticae (Koch) (Scary: Tetranychidae):
[0301] In this test, 10-week-old seedlings of eggplant (Pala variety) [Solanum melongena L.(Solanaceae)] plants, which is the plant species most damaged by the spider mite, were used as test material. Seedlings were grown from seed in a sterile climate room with artificial lighting (16 hours light: 8 hours dark) at 27t±1 and 60±5% relative humidity.
[0302] Two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) individuals used in the experiment were recruited from a sensitive population collected from Bursa 8 years ago and grown continuously without pesticides. Colonies of the pest were reproduced on the same eggplant seedlings under controlled conditions.
[0303] Liposomal ozone nanosolutions of the invention were used in these tests. Two different (I and II) concentrations of two different formulations (N and S) were used in the first experiment. In the second experiment, combined formulations in which different concentrations of acetic acid (S+AA), orange oil (S+P), thyme oil (S+K) or lavender oil (S+L) were mixed to the I concentration of the S-coded formulation were tested.
[0304] The same volume of liposomal ozone nanosolutions was sprayed on and under the leaves of eggplant seedlings using hand sprays. As a control group, only one group was sprayed with water. Afterwards, the plants were kept in laboratory conditions for 30 minutes to dry the water and solutions applied to the leaves. 5 adult female (according to the economic damage threshold determined for eggplant) were placed on each leaf one by one with the help of a brush. Each experiment was carried out in 3 replications. Plants were kept in a sterile climate room with artificial lighting (16 hours light: 8 hours dark) at 27t±1 and 60±5% relative humidity for 7 days. At the end of the third 4th and 7th days, the living biological stages of the spider mite (egg, larva, and nymph, adult) were counted one by one under the stereomicroscope and noted.
[0305] The numbers of viable spider mites seen in eggplants in the water-only control group and the number of viable individuals on the eggplant leaf in which different formulations were applied were included in the Abbott formula (Abbott 1925).
[0306] According to the results of the tests performed under laboratory conditions on the 3rd day, concentrations I and II of the N formulation showed toxic effects respectively as follows; 80% and 93% on the eggs; 100% and 47% on larvae; 55% and 0% on nymphs and 46% and 53% on adults. The same concentrations of S formulation showed toxic effects respectively as follows; 30% and 93% on the eggs; 66% and 94% on larvae; 0% and 0% on nymphs and 8% and 69% on adults.
[0307] According to the results of the tests performed under laboratory conditions on the 7th day, concentrations I and II of the N formulation showed toxic effects respectively as follows; 46% and 73% on the eggs; 23% and 60% on larvae; 68% and 95% on nymphs and 14% and 71% on adults. The same concentrations of S formulation showed toxic effects respectively as follows; 5% and 0% on the eggs; 0% and 30% on larvae; 76% and 19% on nymphs and 15% and 29% on adults.
[0308] According to the results of the tests performed under laboratory conditions on the 3rd day, formulations in which a single formulation is combined with thyme oil (S+K), lavender oil (S+L), orange oil (S+P) and acetic acid (S+AA) to a concentration of 1000 mg/L showed toxic effects respectively as follows; 97, 99, 99 and 100% on the eggs; 95, 100, 100 and 100% on larvae; 0% on nymphs and 100, 100, 100 and 100% on adults.
[0309] According to the test results on eggplant plants under laboratory conditions, the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolutions, after three days, killed the eggs and larvae of the two-spotted spider mite at a rate of 30-93% and 47-100%, adults at rates of 8-69%. Results were not considered as nymphs did not occur in the first 3 days. Effects ranged from 19-76% as nymph populations naturally increased on day 7 of the test. Accordingly, different formulations and concentrations of the invention showed varying degrees of toxic effect on all biological stages of the spider mite. According to the best results, lethality (toxic effect) was observed up to 93% of eggs, 100% of larvae, 76% of nymphs and 69% of adults. The addition of plant-based oils to the formulations greatly increased the toxic effect on the spider mite and showed a synergistic effect. Even the lowest concentration (concentration no. I) of the nanosolution of the invention which is combined with thyme, lavender, orange oil or acetic acid showed toxic effect 97-100% to eggs, 95-100% to larvae; showed 100% on adults within three days. Since these mixtures showed a rapid effect within 3 days, they caused a very high rate of death of spider mites without allowing nymphs to form. As a result, it showed a toxic (poisonous) effect to the Two-spotted spider mite depending on the formulations and concentrations of the invention. The potential of using the inventive liposomal ozone nanosolution formulations as a Plant Protection Product in Plant Production stages in Agriculture has been demonstrated with this study.
[0310] Field Tests on the Toxic Effect of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions on Red Spider:
[0311] 4 decares of land in Çeşmealti village of Çanakkale Biga district where farmer Halil Ba{hacek over (g)}cio{hacek over (g)}lu planted tomato seedlings that came early in the 80-85 days harvest on May 1 was divided into 100 square meters plots, the above table has been reached in the form of dose and mixture trials of the drugs that have been made and applied.
[0312] As of May 4, the plots in the form of doses and mixtures in the table were examined for red spider, early leaf blight from the seedling period. The plots were sprayed at intervals of 10-12 days and controls were made at intervals of 10-11 days by adding Lambda-cyhalothrin against powdery mildew from flowering period and green worm after fruit setting period.
[0313] In the observations made on Friday, May 15, no red spider pest, early leaf blight, powdery mildew and green worm have been encountered as of the seedling period.
[0314] In the observation made on Tuesday, May 26, it has been observed that the red spider population in the plots is 2-3 per m.sup.2 where the drug is used in doses of 75-100 ml A (33% ozone emulsifier, 34% ozone oil, 33% acetic acid) and drug B (30% ozone emulsifier, 30% ozone oil, 30% acetic acid, 10% functional oil thymol), in the drug A and drug B plots, which were applied at a dose of 50 ml, 7-8 live red spiders were seen per m.sup.2, and this was also found to be in a low population. Early leaf blight, powdery mildew and green worm have not been encountered since the seedling period. When we examined the green parts, no green worm eggs and larvae were found.
[0315] In the observation made on Tuesday, May 5, it has been observed that the red spider population in the plots is 4-5 per m.sup.2 where the drug is used in doses of 75-100 ml A (33% ozone emulsifier, 34% ozone oil, 33% acetic acid) and drug B (30% ozone emulsifier, 30% ozone oil, 30% acetic acid, 10% functional oil thymol), in the drug A and drug B plots, which were applied at a dose of 50 ml, 8-9 live red spiders were seen per m.sup.2, and this was also found to be in a low population. It was observed that there was no effect of drug A and drug B when compared with other drugs used against early leaf blight and powdery mildew at all doses used alone in plots. When all the plots were observed, when we examined the green parts, it was observed that there was a green worm egg and larva-dominated contamination with an average of 1 per 100 plants. Spraying will be done when there is 5% contamination against the green worm.
[0316] In the observation made on Tuesday, June 16, it was observed that the red spider population was 4-5 live per m.sup.2 with the continuation of favorable weather conditions in the drug A and drug B plots used in 75-100 ml doses, It was determined that the red spiders in the drug A and drug B plots, which were applied at a dose of 50 ml, were 9-10 per m.sup.2.
[0317] According to the observations in the plots, when compared with the other drugs used against early leaf blight and powdery mildew at all doses of drugs A and B used alone, it was observed again that there was no effect. The green parts of the plants in the whole plot were examined and dead green worm larvae were found from place to place. In drug A and drug B plots of dead green worm larvae, death occurred with an average of 1-2% at a dose of 50 m, it was observed that the rate of dead in the drug A and drug B plots applied at a dose of 75-100 ml was 3-4%. It was observed that the mixtures with lambda-cyhalothrin were better in terms of performance compared to drug A and drug B used alone.
[0318] In the observation made on Friday, June 26, it was observed that the red spider population was 3-4 live per m.sup.2 with the continuation of favorable weather conditions in the drug A and drug B plots used in 75-100 ml doses, It was determined that the red spiders in the drug A and drug B plots, which were applied at a dose of 50 ml, were 7-8 per m.sup.2. As a result of the examination of the green parts, 2 live green worm eggs and larvae were found in 100 plants.

[0319] As a result of the general observations in the trial plots we made in the field of farmer Halil Ba{hacek over (g)}cio{hacek over (g)}lu in Çeşmealti village of Çanakkale Biga district, Drug A and drug B showed a performance of 35-40% in 50 ml alone and 70-75% in 75-100 ml in red spider. It was observed that the expected performance was even better in the experimental plots observed with the addition of Abamectin to Drug A and Drug B. In the trial plots, it was determined that drugs A and drug B had no effect against early leaf blight and powdery mildew, compared to the other drugs we observed, between the dates we observed. It was determined that the drug A and drug B used in the experimental plot showed 10-15% success in 50 ml and 30-35% in 75-100 ml against green worms. It was observed that the performance against green worm was better in the experimental plots observed with Lambda-cyhalothrin added to Drug A and Drug B. It was also observed that there was no problem in the drug mixtures in the table.
[0320] Investigation of the Efficacy of Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions Against Nosema apis and Nosema cerenae Infections in Adult Honey Bees:
[0321] Nosema apis and Nosema cerenae cause Nosemosis in adult honey bees (Apis mellifera) and these factors settle in the digestive system of adult bees. Nosemosis is one of the most common bee diseases and causes significant bee losses worldwide. This disease causes digestive system disorders, decreased average lifespan of bees, colony number, honey production, pollen collection and significant winter losses in the colony. Nosemosis can progress with bacterial, protozoan and viral diseases, which adversely affects bee colony health, bee products and production. Various active substances have been used in the treatment of nosemosis until today, the most widely used of them is Fumagillin (Commercial name: Fumidil-B). However, this active ingredient is banned today because it poses a residue problem in honey. For this reason, treatment trials with organic acids, natural plant extracts and similar substances have been made in recent years. In this study, the efficacy of essential oils such as Origanum minutiflorum (Timol) and Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood) extract and Liposomal Ozone Nanosolutions against Nosemosis were investigated. Day 0 counts were made before the combinations created in this study were applied, sugar syrup used to feed bees was given to control groups in field trials. In the experiments, the combinations were mixed with sherbet (used to feed the bees) and applied to the sherbet inside the hive or to the frames by spraying. 50 bee samples were taken from each hive from the apiary and the protocol number was given before starting the experiments. After the samples were kept in the freezer for one day, the digestion method was applied for the control of positiveness and negativeness in terms of Nosema spores. In this method, 10 bee samples were taken from each hive and the abdomens of the bees were separated from their bodies with the help of a scalpel. 1 ml per abdomen, 10 ml in total distilled water was added. Abdomen were crushed in a suitable beaker, a drop of abdominal fluid was transferred to a Neubauer Toma slide and Nosema spores were investigated at 40×10 magnification. In order to determine the spore load of Nosema fungus by the digestion method mentioned above in the positive hives, 20 bee samples were taken and the Nosema agents were counted under the microscope. While the experimental groups were formed with a certain amount of hives for each combination, it was noted that the Nosema spore number averages between the experimental groups were close to equal. The combinations were administered orally by spraying into the hives or by placing them in the sherbet inside the hive. 20 bee samples were collected from each hive at certain day intervals and Nosema spore counts were made by digestion method. Ozone (Liposomal Ozone Nanosolution), Thymol and Artemisia absinthium extracts and their combinations were tested in 5 different concentrations and dosages. According to the efficiency rates of the three combinations found most effective in these five field trials; Ozone+Thymol (Spray): 2000 ppm 200 ml Ozone+100 ml 3% Thymol+700 ml sugar syrup 89.47%, Timol+Artemisia (Oral): 250 ml 2% Thymol+200 ml 2% Artemisia absinthium+550 ml sugar syrup 85.95%, Ozone (Oral): 100 ml 1000 ppm Ozone+400 ml sugar syrup 75.08% were given respectively. This result supported the previous studies with Timol, and when the combination was enriched with nanoparticle ozone, the results were found to be more effective against Nosema. There were no deaths or side effects caused by the application.
[0322] It has been determined that the antioxidant effect of ozone in nanocarrier systems is higher than the oils with larger molecules, and it shows its antibacterial effect at lower doses in the biocompatibility tests performed within the scope of the invention, It was understood that ozonated emulsifiers showed toxic effects in cytotoxicity tests performed at these doses. Therefore, in a different embodiment of the invention, ozonated emulsifiers are coated with biocompatible materials. In this way, in addition to the solutions created by the transportation of ozone with oils or emulsifiers containing oil and diversified by the addition of substances such as oil, acid, vitamin and mineral, it is possible to obtain new nanocarrier structures that provide high stability.
[0323] Coating of ozonated emulsifier is important for reducing the aggressive behavior of active ozone, providing slow release, obtaining small particle size and complying with sterilization methods. Ozone cannot be sterilized by heat and there is no sterilization method other than filtration. In this sense, it is necessary to realize coatings suitable for filtration and to choose suitable coating materials.
[0324] In the most basic application of the invention, at least one emulsifier and ozone are used. Polysorbates such as polysorbate 20, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 85 can be used individually or in combination as emulsifiers. In another embodiment of the invention, dosage can be made by adding water (with or without mixing) to the ozonated emulsifier mentioned.
[0325] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ozonated emulsifier is coated with at least one emulsifier and/or polymer. The ozonated emulsifier and the emulsifier coated on it can preferably be polysorbate 20, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 85 or a combination thereof. The ozonated emulsifier and the emulsifier coated on the ozonated emulsifier can be the same or different polysorbates. For example, the structure obtained with polysorbate 80, and ozone can be coated with polysorbate 20. This structure may contain water. It is possible to use different polymers as a polymer, depending on the purpose and area of application.
[0326] Different polysorbates can be used in the invention, but not limited to those mentioned herein. Polysorbate 80 contains unsaturated fatty acid in the tail. Ozonated polysorbate 80 is formed by ozonation of this fatty acid. Polysorbate 85 carries 3 unsaturated fatty acids in its tail. Therefore, more ozone can be loaded.
[0327] In another embodiment of the invention, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and glycerin can be used as biocompatible materials for the coating. Ozone emulsifiers can be coated with glycerin alone, with PEG alone, or with a combination of glycerin and PEG. Coating ozonated emulsifiers with glycerin and PEG slows down the rapid antioxidant effect. Coating the ozonated emulsifier with polymers in addition to PEG and/or glycerin contributes to increased stability. Ozonated structures in the form of nanocarriers have two-year stability and have been found to maintain their antibacterial activity. Coating ozonated emulsifiers with glycerin and/or PEG provides a stability-enhancing effect within the scope of the invention However, coating with mannitol and/or dextran is also possible. The ozone emulsifier, coated with glycerin and/or PEG, reaches the target organ/tissue without the ozone gasification and, after reaching, it is possible to get rid of said coating and use it in tissue. For example, in the case of use in cancer treatment, cancer target protein or other cancer drugs are bind to the ozone emulsifier and this new formation is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. The coating dissolves rapidly and the target protein binds to the cancer cell in the target tissue. In this way, ozone is dissolved and the cancer cell is broken down. This applies to all other chemicals.
[0328] The dimensions of ozonated emulsifiers are approximately 20 nanometers. Small coated nanoliposomes are formed by simply coating this molecule with PEG. Slightly larger nanoliposomes are obtained by coating with glycerin. Particle sizes increase when other chemicals are added to these nanoliposomes. It is important in drug formation that the products remain below 200 nanometers in these measurements The amount of coating and the ratio of glycerin and/or PEG are also important in terms of intended use and size. If the coating is done only in small quantities with PEG, the particles grow minimally. If the ratio is increased or the amount of glycerin is increased, the particle size increases.
[0329] When ozonated polysorbate 80 is first coated with glycerin and then with PEG, a 13-nanometer solution is obtained when the new mixture is mixed with water. Some glycerin and PEG that are not added to the complete mixture are also seen in the measurement. It ensures liposomes to be sent to the target organ without causing damage to the tissues and have a slower effect by using it in this form
[0330] In order to increase the effectiveness of ozone emulsifiers, it is possible to bind the lipoproteins, some of which are in lipid structure, to the surfactant so as to send them to the appropriate target organ. The lipoprotein-coupled structure is coated with glycerin and PEG. Similarly, phospholipid, sphingolipid, ceramide, proteolipid, glycolipid, isoprenoids, phosphoglyceride, lipids and terpenes, mineral, protein, cancer target protein, DMSO, acetyl cysteine, hyaluronic acid, menthol, acids, alcohols, enzymes such as ogenase, elastase, trypsin, lipase, alkans can be bind individually or in combinations to ozone emulsifiers.
[0331] Alternatives that can be used in different applications of the invention and the technical effects provided by them are explained below. The smallest form of the solutions obtained is referred to as niosome in the literature. These are the smallest liposome structures made with surfactants only in the smaller form of liposomes.
[0332] After obtaining the smallest structure, it is aimed in the invention to develop products with increased stability and reduced toxicity by using different components. Accordingly, in another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing ozone or non-ozone phospholipid is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. It is especially found in the sphingomyelin nerve cell. The aim of this structure; it is used to make selective drugs for nerve cells when given to the body, Said structure adheres to nerve cells and functions to repair the nerve cell with ozone. In this way, it is possible to play a role in the repair of nerve cells, such as the use of ozone in wound healing.
[0333] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing ozone or non-ozone sphingolipid is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. In this way, nano liposome that selectively adheres to the target organ for again nerve cells are obtained.
[0334] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing ozone or non-ozone proteolipid is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. In this way, nano liposomes that selectively adhere to the target organ for nerve cells are obtained.
[0335] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, a glycolipid containing structure with or without ozone is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. This structure functions as a nanoliposome, which selectively adheres to the target organ for nerve cells. Cerebrosides, Ceramide oligosaccharides, Sulfatides, Gangliosides can be used in combination for ozone carrier nanoliposomes suitable for use according to their target organs.
[0336] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing lipoproteins with or without ozone is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. The nanoliposome HDL cholesterol target organ is the liver, which is attached to the target organ by combining lipids such as cholesterol. Cholesterol circulating in the blood goes to the liver last. It is used in the treatment of liver diseases and in liver cancer in combination with ozonated emulsifier and HDL cholesterol.
[0337] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing isoprenoids is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. For example, a combination of vitamins such as fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin A can be given.
[0338] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing ozone or non-ozone ester phosphaglycerides is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. As an example, Phosphatidylethanolamine (kephalin, cephalin) can be given. Cephalins are esters of phosphatidic acid that function in the brain. Since it is abundant in the brain as a target organ, it plays an active role in the transmission of ozone. Lecithin is the main constituent in many tissues. Phosphotidylserine is found in blood coagulation; phosphatidylinositol is intracellular messenger; phosphatidyl glycerol is found in Cardiolipin in cardiac cells; Malignolipin is found in malignant cells. It is possible to perform target organ treatments with the combination of these lipid derivatives.
[0339] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing minerals is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. Nano liposomes formed by the combination of metal ozone formed in this group are obtained. The combination formed in this group is directed to the target organs again It facilitates the penetration of ozone into the cancer cell by opening the channels with the use of magnesium so as to open the calcium channels of the cell in cancer treatment. Elements such as zinc, copper, sulfur and silver also increase the antibacterial properties of the combination and are used in different target organs. For example, in agriculture, leaf health can be used as nanoliposome to increase plant health.
[0340] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing DMSO is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. DMSO is selective for cancer cells with its combined use. In this way, ozone is transported to the target organ.
[0341] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing ozone or non-ozone vegetable oils is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. In this way, nano liposomal and liposomal structures formed for the transport of ozone to the tissue are obtained.
[0342] In another application of the invention, in addition to ozone and emulsifier, the structure containing terpenes with or without ozone is coated with glycerin and/or PEG. It is used to form liposomes and nano liposomes of active oils secreted from plants. The effect of terpenes and at the same time the use of ozone as nano liposomes is possible with their combined use

[0344] In a different application of the invention, after the ozone emulsifier and oils are coated with glycerin, a solution can be obtained by adding menthol and sucralose and finally coating with hyaluronic acid. Various viruses, including SARS Coy 2, can be transmitted by hand (skin). However, there is also the possibility of eye contamination. Therefore, biocompatibility tests were performed for the eyes and skin, with the determination of the antibacterial effects of the solution within the scope of the invention. In the solution suitable for use as a nasal spray, in addition to the ozone emulsifier, zinc is also used in the liposome with hyaluronic acid glycerin.
[0345] In a different application of the invention, ozonated or unozonated phospholipid, cholesterol, sphingolipid, ceramide, proteolipid, glycolipid, isoprenoids, phosphoglyceride, lipids and terpenes, minerals, protein, cancer target protein, silicon dioxide, organic silicon, DMSO, acetyl cysteine, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, menthol, acids, alcohols, enzymes such as collagenase, elastase, trypsin, lipase, alkanes, protein, amino acid, sugar, sweetener and/or tranemic acid are added to the ozone emulsifier so as to form the main structure. In order to coat said main structure, coating is made of glycerin, mannitol, dextran and/or PEG and polymer.
[0346] There are two preferred main applications of the invention. These are the injection formula and the spray formula. Cholesterol can be added to ozonated polysorbate in the injection formula. In this formulation, polysorbate coating and mannitol, glycerin, dextran, PEG, hyaluronic acid alone or combinations can be coated on it. In the spray formula, ozonated sunflower oil, glycerin, menthol, hyaluronic acid and zinc can be added to ozonated polysorbate. It is also possible to make different variations of this formulation. Nasal spray and mouth spray contain all of the ingredients mentioned. However, wound spray and eye drops only contain ozonated polysorbate, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and zinc.

[0374] When the brightness values of Nazli F1 and Atakan F1 varieties are examined, the application group is statistically different from the other groups and gives the best result is the application number 1. The intensity of red color in tomato fruit is one of the most important criteria for determining the quality. When a value is evaluated, better results were obtained for Nazli variety in applications 1 and 3 compared to other application groups and statistical difference was determined. Application number 1 gave the best results for Atakan variety. This application is followed by application groups 2 and 3 and both are in the same statistical group. The lowest a values for both Nazli and Atakan cultivars were obtained from the control group. When b values were examined, the lowest value for Nazli variety was obtained from the application number 1. This value represents the yellow color. While the control group has the highest value, applications 2 and 3 fall into the same statistical group, although the lowest numerical value for Atakan cultivar was obtained from the application group number 1, no statistical difference was determined.
[0375] 3.1.3. WSDM Amount
[0376] Statistically different and the best results in terms of WSDM (Water Soluble Dry Matter) were obtained from the application no. 1 in Nazli cultivar, Application groups 1 and 3 in Atakan cultivar gave the best results and entered the same statistical group.
[0377] 3.1.4. TEA Amount

[0385] Considering all weight parameters, the application group number 1 was statistically different from all groups and the best results were obtained.
[0386] 3.2.3. Number of Marketable and Non-Marketable Leaves
[0387] The application that gave the best results in the study was 1 (33.55 units) and was statistically different from the other groups. Considering the number of non-marketable leaves, the lowest result was again obtained from the application no. 1 (3.04 units). As a result, there are more marketable and less non-marketable leaves in application number 1 compared to other application groups.
[0388] 3.2.4. Leaf Proportional Water Content (%)
[0389] When LPWC (%) was examined, application groups 1 and 3 gave the best results and entered the same statistical group. The application no. 2 and the control group were included in different application groups from the application groups no. 1 and 3, and the lowest result was obtained from the control group. Thus, it was observed that application groups 1 and 3 were more resistant to stress conditions.
[0390] 3.2.5. Leaf Total Chlorophyll (μmol/m2) Amount

[0392] 3.2.6. Leaf Color
[0393] As a result of the applications, it was determined that the best application in terms of brightness was the number 1 application and it was found to be statistically different. In the study, it was determined that the best result numerically was the number 1 application with the value of −19.14, however, it was determined that it is in the same statistical group with application number 3. It was determined that the salads in these treatment groups were greener than the other treatment groups. Considering the b values, although the number 1 application gave the best result in terms of numerical value, all of them were in the same statistical group, except for the control group.
[0394] In the final case, three different solutions included in the experiment were applied to the plants in tomato and leaf lettuce, and the obtained plants were harvested, and their quality parameters were examined. After the measurements and analyses, it was determined that 0.2% concentration of Farmoxyn 1 formulation had a positive effect on both types of vegetables.
