description | Manganese metallic nanoparticles are attractive materials for various biological and medical applications. In the present study, we synthesized unique Mn<sub>0.5</sub>Zn<sub>0.5</sub>Sm<sub>x</sub>Eu<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>1.8−2x</sub>O<sub>4</sub> (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) nanoparticles (NPs) by using the hydrothermal approach. The structure and surface morphology of the products were determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron and scanning electron microcopies (TEM and SEM), along with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). We evaluated the impact of Mn<sub>0.5</sub>Zn<sub>0.5</sub>Sm<sub>x</sub>Eu<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>1.8−2x</sub>O<sub>4</sub> NPs on both human embryonic stem cells (HEK-293) (normal cells) and human colon carcinoma cells (HCT-116) (cancerous cells). We found that post-48 h of treatment of all products showed a significant decline in the cancer cell population as revealed by microscopically and the (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>) values of the products ranged between 0.75 and 2.25 µg/mL. When tested on normal and healthy cells (HEK-293), we found that the treatment of products did not produce any effects on the normal cells, which suggests that all products selectively targeted the cancerous cells. The anti-bacterial properties of the samples were also evaluated by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) assays, which showed that products also inhibited the bacterial growth. |
