    Iron-based magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention in biomedical research, particularly for applications such as cancer detection and therapy, targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and hyperthermia. This study focuses on the synthesis and glutathione (GSH) functionalization of iron boride (FeB) nanoparticles (NPs) for prospective biomedical use. The GSH-functionalized FeB NPs (FeB@GSH) demonstrated ferromagnetic behavior, with a saturation magnetization (Ms) of 45.8 emu/g and low coercivity (Hc = 1000 Oe), indicating desirable magnetic properties for biomedical applications. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the FeB@GSH revealed well-dispersed nanoparticles with diameters smaller than 30 nm. Comprehensive nanotoxicity and biocompatibility assessments were performed using various healthy and cancer cell lines, including 293 T, HeLa, 3T3, MCF7, HCT116, and CFPAC-1. Cytotoxicity assays were conducted on FeB@GSH-treated cells over a dose range of 0-300 mu g/mL during 24-h incubations. Results indicated no significant differences in cell viability between treated and untreated control groups, confirming the biocompatibility of FeB@GSH. Further nanotoxicity evaluations were carried out on 3T3, 293 T, and CFPAC-1 cell lines, focusing on oxidative stress markers and cellular metabolism by measuring antioxidant enzyme activity. Additionally, ion release and mineral metabolism were assessed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), revealing no notable variations between the treated and control groups. These findings suggest that FeB@GSH NPs exhibit excellent biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for diverse biomedical applications, including medical imaging, drug delivery systems, and therapeutic interventions.

    Synthesis of Oleic Acid - Coated Zinc - Doped Iron Boride Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Paksoy, Aybike; Aydemir, Duygu; Somer, Mehmet; Ulusu, Nuriye Nuray; Balci-Cagiran, Ozge
    Although various iron-based magnetic materials have been extensively studied in biomedical field for many years, iron boride compounds with interesting chemical and magnetic properties are relatively less explored, and their potential applications are not as widely known. In this study, the synthesis, coating, surface modification, and cytotoxicity tests of the Fe-Zn-B system were presented. Iron boride-based nanoparticles (NPs) containing elemental zinc (Zn) were developed by using a direct chemical synthesis of FeCl3, 3 , ZnCl2 2 and NaBH4, 4 , and investigated for potential use in biomedical applications. Powders having the phases of pure FeB with small amount of elemental Zn were obtained with a uniform morphology and an average particle size of 68 nm. The NPs were then coated with oleic acid (OA) and surface modified with sodium tricitrate, to increase their stability and biocompatibility, and well-dispersed NPs were obtained with sizes below 30 nm. TEM investigations revealed the presence of hybrid clusters with nanoparticle - OA structures, indicating that FeB nanoparticles were stabilized by being embedded in OA clusters, forming both agglomerated sub-micron and free nano-sized structures. Obtained NPs showed ferromagnetic property, with a saturation magnetization of 25.9 emu/g and a low coercivity of 90 Oe. As a result of testing different types of healthy and cancer cell lines with NPs, Zn-doped-FeB@OA NPs exhibited a high biocompatibility. Results suggested that highly biocompatible and magnetic OA-coated Zn-doped FeB particles can be potential candidates for biomedical applications such as medical imaging or drug delivery systems.
