Abstract

A novel multifunctional nanofluid composite of Iron oxide/Gold (Fe2O3-Au) was prepared using simple wet chemical method by reducing Chloroauric acid using trisodium citrate in the presence of Fe2O3 stock solution. The optical and morphological characterization confirmed the formation of hybrid structure of Iron Oxide with Gold nanoparticles. In-vitro cytoprotective studies of the sample was carried out in L929 cells. The study showed an increase up to 15% in the cell viability by the co-administration of 25 μL of Fe2O3-Au nanofluid in the L929 cells, which suffered significant reduction in cell viability due to laser irradiation. Thus, the sample is found to possess potential application in Photodynamic therapy.
