8-Anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate-Conjugated Carbon-Coated Ferrite Nanodots for Fluoromagnetic Imaging, Smart Drug Delivery, and Biomolecular Sensing
Abstract
Background: Superparamagnetic properties and excitation independence have been incorporated into carbon-decorated manganese ferrite nanodots (MnFe@C) to introduce an economical and safer multimodal agent for use in both T1-T2 MRI and fluorescence-based imaging to replace the conventional highly toxic heavy metal contrast agents. Methods: The surface conjugation of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) to MnFe@C nanodots (ANS-MnFe@C) enhances both longitudinal and transverse MRI relaxation, improves fluorescence for optical imaging, and increases protein detection sensitivity, showing higher multimodal efficacy in terms of molar relaxivity, radiant efficiencies, and fluorescence sensitivity compared to MnFe@C. Results: The band gap energy was determined using Tauc’s equation to be 3.32 eV, while a 72% quantum yield demonstrated that ANS-MnFe@C was highly fluorescent, with the linear range and association constant calculated using the Stern–Volmer relation. The synthesized ANS-MnFe@C demonstrated excellent selectivity and sensitivity for bovine serum albumin (BSA), with a nanomolar detection limit of 367.09 nM and a broad linear range from 0.015 to 0.225 mM. Conclusions: In conclusion, ANS-MnFe@C holds ease of fabrication, good biocompatibility, as assessed in A375 cells, and an effective pH-sensitive doxorubicin release profile to establish anticancer activity in lung cancer cell line (A549), highlighting its potential as an affordable therapeutic agent for multimodal imaging, drug delivery, and protein sensing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
