Abstract
A systematic investigation explored the potential of manganese sesquioxide, combined with magnetite nanoparticles, for hyperthermia applications and its in vitro efficacy against targeted A-549 cells. The nanoparticles were synthesized by the co-precipitation technique followed by solid-state synthesis, yielding nanocomposites with varying weight ratios of Mn2O3 (10–40 wt%). The structural and morphological characteristics were evaluated using XRD and HRTEM, revealing a single-phase cubic structure and nanoparticles with spherical or rod-shaped morphologies. Magnetic measurements by VSM exhibited superparamagnetic behaviour with low coercivity. Induction heating analysis revealed a higher specific absorption rate of 346 W/g for 10 wt% Mn2O3. The dose–response analysis showed that 10 wt% Mn2O3 nanocomposites elicited an IC50 value of 30 μg/mL, with a favourable selectivity index of 2.01, underscoring their remarkable capacity for inhibiting cellular proliferation. This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the synthesis, characterization, hyperthermia performance, and in vitro study of Mn2O3/Fe3O4 nanocomposites, highlighting their potential as efficient theranostic agents for lung cancer cells.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
