Quercetin/Fe3O4@Cu(II) Hybrid Structures Fabrication and Cytotoxic Activity

In this study, firstly, the synthesis of magnetic Fe nanomaterials (Fe3O4 NMs) was carried out and then quercetin was immobilized into the synthesized nanomaterial. Synthesis of Organic@inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Quercetin/Fe3O4@Cu (II) hNFs) was carried out using quercetin as the organic component and Cu (II) metal ions and Fe3O4 as inorganic components. Characterization of Quercetin/Fe3O4@Cu (II)hNFs was carried out using various methods such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, NTA and elemental mapping. Then, the anticancer activities of Quercetin/Fe3O4@Cu (II) hNFs were evaluated by the MTT method using the MCF7 (breast cancer) cell line.
