Résumé

Multifunctional iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, among them nanorods, were prepared with a mussel-inspired polydopamine (pDA) surface coating agent for cancer therapeutics. Taurine, a free sulfur-containing ß amino acid, was grafted on the pDA at the iron oxide nanoparticle surface to enhance its biocompatibility and targeted delivery action. Doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, was loaded on the prepared nanovehicles with an entrapment efficiency of 70.1%. Drug release kinetics were then analyzed using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies, suggesting the pH-responsive behavior of the developed nanovehicle. The developed system was then tested on PC-3 cell lines to check its cellular response. Confocal microscopy observations and (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2-tetrazolium) and Annexin V-FITC assays used to evaluate cell toxicity and apoptosis reveal a dose-dependent nature of nanorods and can overcome the side effects of using free DOX with a targeted action.
