Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have limitations and severe side effects. Magnetic hyperthermia (MH) is an alternative method that can be used alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiotherapy to treat cancer. Cobalt ferrite particles were synthesized using an innovative biogenic sol-gel method with powder of coconut water (PCW). The obtained powders were subjected to heat treatments between 500 °C and 1100 °C. Subsequently, they were characterized by thermal, structural, magnetic, and cytotoxic analyses to assess their suitability for MH applications. Through X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, it was possible to confirm the presence of the pure phase of CoFeO in the sample treated at 1100 °C, exhibiting a saturation magnetization of 84 emu/g at 300 K and an average grain size of 542 nm. Furthermore, the sample treated at 1100 °C showed a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 3.91 W/g, and at concentrations equal to or below 5 mg/mL, is non-cytotoxic, being the most suitable for biomedical applications.
癌症是全球主要死因之一。手术、化疗和放疗等传统疗法存在局限性和严重的副作用。磁热疗(MH)是一种替代方法,可单独或与化疗或放疗联合用于治疗癌症。本文采用创新的生物成因溶胶-凝胶法,使用椰水粉末(PCW)合成了钴铁氧体颗粒。将所得粉末在 500°C 至 1100°C 之间进行热处理。然后通过热、结构、磁和细胞毒性分析对其进行表征,以评估其在 MH 应用中的适用性。通过 X 射线衍射和拉曼光谱可以证实,在 1100°C 处理的样品中存在纯相 CoFeO,在 300 K 时的饱和磁化强度为 84 emu/g,平均晶粒尺寸为 542 nm。此外,在 1100°C 处理的样品的比吸收率(SAR)为 3.91 W/g,在浓度等于或低于 5 mg/mL 时无细胞毒性,最适合生物医学应用。
