Magnetic-responsive
biopolymer composites have great potential for use in diverse
biomedical applications. In this study, a new nanobiocomposite
consisting of carbon nitride (CN), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)
hydrogel, silk fibroin biopolymer, and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
(Fe3O4 MNPs) was designed and fabricated. The
synthesis procedure is based on the modification of the CN platform with
CMC hydrogel and conjugation with SF biopolymer alongside in-situ
magnetization with Fe3O4 MNPs. This hybrid
magnetic nanobiocomposite was characterized by several analytical
methods: FT-IR, EDX, SEM, XRD, TGA, and VSM. The in-vitro hemolysis
assay confirmed the hemocompatibility of the prepared nanobiocomposite
and its anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines (BT549) was
evaluated by MTT assay. Furthermore, the magnetic nanobiocomposite
showed excellent potential for hyperthermia applications, with a maximum
specific absorption rate of 7 W/g for 1 mg/mL of the sample under a
magnetic field in different frequencies (100, 200, 300, and 400 MHz) and
5 to 20 min time intervals.
