Background: Green synthesis, an alternative method for synthesizing nanoparticles, is cheaper, environmentally friendly, and does not show toxic effects. Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic agent used in lung cancer. Curcumin is a bioactive compound with properties, such as an anticancer obtained from Curcuma longa.
Objective: The objective of this study was to develop Doxorubicin and Curcumin loaded magnetic nanoparticles that could be synthesized by green tea leaves and to investigate cytotoxic effects against the A549-luc-C8, non-small cell lung cancer line.
Methods: Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized with the green synthesis method. Furthermore, Doxorubicin and Curcumin were encapsulated into magnetic nanoparticles with the one-pot method and obtained magnetic nanoparticles characterized using FTIR, SEM/EDX, XRD, and UV-VIS spectrophotometric techniques. After that, The drug release test was performed by dialysis using pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline at 37 °C. MTT assay was performed to test the cytotoxicity effect in the A549-luc-C8 cell line.
Results: FTIR analysis verified the magnetic structure and drug loading. SEM images of magnetic nanoparticle revealed that they had a size of about 50-60 nm in a mono-disperse manner. Drug release after 24 h was found to be 5.8% for doxorubicin and 3.4% for curcumin, showing controlled release.
Conclusion: Results showed that the prepared magnetic nanoparticles had a synergistic antitumor activity for A549-luc-C8.

The present work describes the process of the creation and analysis of the first dataset containing processing parameters and functional properties of soft magnetic composites (SMC). All data were obtained experimentally using Fe-3% MgO system. When creating samples, parameters such as a size of MgO nanoparticles, pressing pressure, sintering temperature, time and atmosphere were varied.

Cefixime (CFX) is a potent antibiotic against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria that resists degradation and typical removal procedures. This research aimed to synthesize a modified AgCuFeO@GO nanoparticle electrode with anchored MnO for removing CFX by three-dimensional electrochemical oxidation. The physical and chemical characteristics of the nanocomposite were evaluated using various techniques, including FESEM, XRD, EDS-mapping, FTIR, BET, VSM, and TGA.

Efficient analysis of active ingredient in complex natural products is crucial for drug discovery, but developing a simple method for this is challenging. The discovery of drugs against bacterial resistance is urgent because drug-resistant bacteria produce β-lactamases, which inactivate antibiotics and increase infection risks, particularly the AmpC β-lactamase. Here, an integrated analytical model based on colorimetric sensing and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affinity chromatography was developed for screening AmpC β-lactamase inhibitors.

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is an emerging medical imaging modality which has gained increasing interest in recent years. Among the benefits of MPI are its high temporal resolution, and that the technique does not expose the specimen to any kind of ionizing radiation. It is based on the non-linear response of magnetic nanoparticles to an applied magnetic field.

This study aims to use superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), specifically magnetite (FeO), to deliver deflazacort (DFZ) and ibuprofen (IBU) to Duchenne muscular dystrophy-affected (DMD) mouse muscles using an external magnetic field. The SPIONs are synthesized by the co-precipitation method, and their surfaces are functionalized with L-cysteine to anchor the drugs, considering that the cysteine on the surface of the SPIONs in the solid state dimerizes to form the cystine molecule, creating the FeO-(Cys)-DFZ and FeO-(Cys)-IBU systems for tests. The FeO nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and magnetic measurements.
