Abstract

Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) possess unique physicochemical properties which make them great for biomedical applications. This study reports the development of gold (Au) coated Fe3O4 (Au-Fe3O4 NPs) for photothermal therapy to eradicate breast cancer cells (MCF-7). The spherical shape of monodisperse Au-Fe3O4 NPs with an average size of 20.8 nm was confirmed by TEM. The cell viability evaluation of Au-Fe3O4 NPs showed negligible toxicity toward MCF-7 cells after 24 h. Significant cell reduction was observed for MCF-7 (73.9%) cells following photothermal therapy at highest concentration of NPs (50 μgFe/ml) for 10 minutes illumination when compared with other intervention groups. It can be concluded that, the synthesized Au-Fe3O4 NPs is an effective and promising photothermal therapy agent for breast cancer treatment. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
