This study explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of copper iodide (CuI) nanoparticles stabilized with Gum Acacia (GA) in the context of oncology. The research investigates the potential of CuI-GA-metal nanoparticles (MNPs) in catalyzing organic transformations that are beneficial for cancer treatment, particularly in drug activation and delivery systems. CuI nanoparticles, synthesized through a green method with Gum Acacia as a stabilizing agent, exhibit unique properties suitable for therapeutic applications, including biocompatibility, stability, and catalytic efficiency. The synthesized CuI-GA-MNPs are characterized by several techniques such as UV-Visible Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Their potential in catalyzing organic reactions, drug delivery systems, and cancer cell targeting is demonstrated. These nanoparticles offer a promising approach to improving cancer therapy through more effective and targeted treatment strategies.
