Synthesis of carbon nanoparticles from glucose, evaluation of their phenol adsorption capacity, and study their potential as drug delivery systems for treating human pancreatic cancer cells

This research focuses on the synthesis of carbon nanoparticles from glucose through the wet chemical method. The dimensions of the generated particles were evaluated through XRD technology, and the capacity of the synthesized nanoparticles to adsorb phenol particles on their surface was illustrated using UV-VIS and FTIR analysis. The calculation of the loading efficiency (DLE) indicated a remarkably high ratio. The dimensions and morphology of the nanoparticles post-adsorption were assessed through Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), revealing the presence of tiny particles within the nanoscale range. To assess the cytotoxic effects on pancreatic cancer cells, various medication doses were prepared utilizing the MTT assay. The results indicate that the generated phenol-loaded nanoparticles exhibit significant potential in eradicating cancer cells.
