“…Previously, it has been shown that combining two or more nanoparticles is an effective strategy to synthesize nanocomposites for targeted drug delivery and anti-cancer treatment [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. These data support the evidence that combining two or more nanoparticles enhances the anti-cancer activities in colon and breast cancer cells.…”
The current study offers an efficient design of novel nanoparticle microspheres (MCs) using a hydrothermal approach. The Co0.5Ni0.5GaxFe2-xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) MCs were prepared by engineering the elements, such as cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), and gallium (Ga). There was a significant variation in MCs’ physical structure and surface morphology, which was evaluated using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The anti-proliferative activity of MCs was examined by MTT assay and DAPI staining using human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT-116), human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), and a non-cancerous cell line—human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293). Post 72 h treatment, MCs caused a dose dependent inhibition of growth and proliferation of HCT-116 and HeLa cells. Conversely, no cytotoxic effect was observed on HEK-293 cells. The anti-fungal action was assessed by the colony forming units (CFU) technique and SEM, resulting in the survival rate of Candida albicans as 20%, with severe morphogenesis, on treatment with MCs x = 1.0. These findings suggest that newly engineered microspheres have the potential for pharmaceutical importance, in terms of infectious diseases and anti-cancer therapy.

“…Spinel ferrites are promising magnetic materials that are widely used in various fields, so lately, the sonochemical syntheses of novel spinel ferrite nanostructures have become an active research area. [74][75][76][77][78] For example, Almessiere, Slimani and coworkers produced a series of high-purity spinel ferrite compositions via the ultrasonic irradiation, such as [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93] They examined the structural properties, morphological properties, and physical properties (e.g., magnetic traits, optical traits, and electrical traits) of products, and even evaluated their biological characterization for potential anti-cancer and anti-bacterial capabilities. Additionally, they also utilized ultrasonic-assisted approaches to prepare many ferromagnetic 19 (x = 0.00~0.05) hexaferrites, and so on.…”
Ultrasound-assisted approaches, as an important trend in the material synthesis, have emerged in designing and creating nano/micro- structures. Here the review simply presents the basic principles of ultrasound irradiation including...
“…In our previous studies, we have shown that different kinds of MNPs showed potent anti-cancer and anti-bacterial activities [30][31][32]. Recently it has been found that a combination of two or more nanoparticles is effective for improved NPs delivery and treatments [33,34]. NPs can be synthesized by chemically and green technology [35,36].…”
Combining two or more nanoparticles is a promising approach. Previously we have reported synthesis of nanoparticles Dysprosium (Dy) substituted with manganese (Mn) zinc (Zn) by using ultrasonication method. The five different nanoparticles (NPs) Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Dy x Fe 2-x O 4 (x 0.1) have been structurally and morphologically characterized but there is no report on the biological application of these NPs. In the present study, we have examined the anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal activities of Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Dy x Fe 2-x O 4 (x 0.1) NPs. Human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT-116) were tested with different concentrations of NPs by using MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay. In addition, the impact of NPs was also examined on normal cells such as human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293. After 48 h of treatment, Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Dy x Fe 2-x O 4 NPs (x ¼ 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06) showed no inhibitory action on cancer cell's growth and proliferation, whereas Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Dy x Fe 2-x O 4 NPs (x ¼ 0.08 and 0.1) showed profound inhibitory action on cancer cell's growth and proliferation. However, the treatment of Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Dy x Fe 2-x O 4 NPs on the normal cells (HEK-293) did not show cytotoxic or inhibitory action on HEK-293 cells. The treatment of Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Dy x Fe 2-x O 4 NPs (x 0.1) also inhibited both the bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC35218 and Staphylococcus aureus) with lowest MIC and MBC values of 4 and 8 mg/mL and fungus (Candida albicans) with MIC and MFC values of 4 and 8 mg/mL on treatment with x ¼ 0.08 and 0. 1.
