However, lipid peroxidation plays a dual role in cancer progression, acting as both a tumour promoter and a suppressor. Balancing oxidative stress through antioxidant therapy remains a challenge, as excessive antioxidant activity may compromise the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.</p><h3>Aim</h3><p>This review explores the role of antioxidants in mitigating lipid peroxidation in cancer therapy while maintaining treatment efficacy. It highlights recent advancements in nanotechnology-based targeted antioxidant delivery to optimize therapeutic outcomes.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>A comprehensive literature review was conducted using reputable databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. The search focused on publications from the past five years (2020–2025), supplemented by relevant studies from earlier years. Keywords such as “antioxidants,” “lipid peroxidation,” “nanotechnology in cancer therapy,” and “oxidative stress” were utilized. Relevant articles were critically analysed, and graphical illustrations were created.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>Emerging evidence suggests that nanoparticles, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, metal–organic frameworks, and others, can effectively encapsulate and control the release of antioxidants in tumour cells while minimizing systemic toxicity. Stimuli-responsive carriers with tumour-specific targeting mechanisms further enhance antioxidant delivery. Studies indicate that these strategies help preserve normal cells, mitigate oxidative stress-related damage, and improve treatment efficacy. However, challenges such as bioavailability, stability, and potential interactions with standard therapies remain.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Integrating nanotechnology with antioxidant-based interventions presents a promising approach for optimizing cancer therapy. Future research should focus on refining lipid peroxidation modulation strategies, assessing oxidative stress profiles during treatment, and employing biomarkers to determine optimal antioxidant dosing. A balanced approach to antioxidant use may enhance therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse effects.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-025-04248-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143865517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Doxorubin (DOX) was loaded onto the skAu, and the average size of the DOX-loaded AuNPs (c-skAuD) was measured to be 14.6 ± 0.5 nm by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Reaction parameters such as reaction time and DOX concentration were optimized for preparing c-skAuD. DOX was successfully loaded, as confirmed by the FT-IR results. In addition, FT-IR characterization revealed that chondroitin sulfate and collagen in the extract were involved in the synthesis of skAu. Although c-skAuD is cytotoxic to four different types of cancer cells (AGS, HeLa, A549 and MDA-MB-231), their cytotoxic effects were greatest on MDA-MB-231 cells. Analyzing cytotoxicity onto MDA-MB-231 cells revealed that c-skAuD had the greatest cytotoxicity, followed by a positive control (c-citAuD) and DOX. Furthermore, this cytotoxicity was dependent on the incubation time and DOX concentration. Cellular uptake of Au by inductively coupled plasma‒mass spectrometry demonstrated that compared with AGS cells (15.1%), MDA-MB-231 cells showed approximately two-fold greater Au uptake (29.9%) of c-skAuD. However, the Au uptake of the positive control (c-citAuD) did not significantly differ between the MDA-MB-231 and AGS cells. Moreover, collagen type II was identified in the extract by peptide analysis using LC‒ESI‒MS/MS.

FTIR analysis revealed several functional groups (vibrational modes), including 944 and 514 cm<sup>−1</sup> (Fe–O) and 445 cm<sup>−1</sup> (Ag–O). XRD spectra analysis confirmed the crystalline nature and, using the Scherrer equation, showed an average crystallite size of 49.57 nm. EDX confirmed the presence of only Ag, Fe, and O elements.
