Article Synopsis
- Magnetic nanoparticles, specifically Au shell-iron core nanoparticles (FeO@Au), were engineered to enhance targeted drug delivery for treating liver cancer by encapsulating curcumin using a dextran coating and functionalizing with folic acid.
- Various analytical techniques confirmed the successful synthesis and characterized the nanoparticles, revealing an average size of 63.3 nm and a negative zeta potential, which suggests good stability.
- In both in vitro and in vivo studies, the nanoparticles demonstrated effective cancer cell death, improved therapeutic outcomes compared to traditional methods, and limited toxicity to healthy cells, indicating their potential as a promising cancer treatment strategy.
