component endows the abilities of hyperthermia and magnetic targeting to the system for cancer treatment. Besides, polymeric alginate provides biocompatibility and high stability (Zeta potential of −49.1 mV) and makes it possible to encapsulate cancer drug Doxorubicin (Dox) in the system. The fluorescence spectra of blank FAQ and FAQ loading Dox (FAQD) were analysed and compared to those of pure CdTe or Dox to confirm the formation of the nanosystems. Next, the samples were applied to

treatment with several human cell lines (Hep-G2, LU-1, RD and Vero cell lines) and showed positive results with low IC

values for these cells and exhibited higher impact of apoptosis induction and MCF7 spheroid growth delay compared to pure Dox. In particular, FAQ and FAQD have high values of

and show contrast increment in the MRI images. The results indicate that FAQ and FAQD can serve as excellent candidates for both cancer therapy and diagnostics.
The developed nanosystem could be an effective cancer drug deliverer, MRI contrast enhancer and near infrared fluorescent probe.
