Abstract

Herein, we report a neodymium-doped carbon dot composite with a poly-β-cyclodextrin. It possesses wavelength-dependent photoluminescence characteristics. In addition, the material displays magnetic characteristics due to the doped neodymium element. The nanocomposite is soluble in water and accommodates the anticancer drug, camptothecin. The release of the loaded drug is pH-dependent. Further, the anticancer activity of the free- and the drug-loaded carrier are studied on MCF-7 cells. The biological activity and the luminescence and magnetic properties of the nanocarrier are demonstrated.
