My thesis is selected the novel objects about the biosynthesis of magnetic iron nanoparticles from algae. The drug (methotrexate) was loaded on iron nanoparticles and coated with chitosan. The molecular studies of methotrexate loaded on magnetic iron nanoparticles and coated with chitosan on MCF-7 were investigated.
