Thus, the study focus on the synthesis of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3 coated with chitosan and folic acid nanoparticles (Fe2O3-CS-FA NPs) mediated by Tagetes erecta (T. erecta) extract and assess their biological effects. The synthesized NPs are analysed by various characterisation techniques. FTIR spectroscopy of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs revealed characteristic peaks corresponding to Fe2O3, chitosan, and folic acid molecules. The XRD pattern confirmed the successful synthesis of Fe2O3 NPs and Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs, indicating a rhombohedral structure. FESEM demonstrated spherical structures for both Fe2O3 and Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs. Antimicrobial activity was assessed against various pathogens using the disk diffusion method, showing that Fe2O3-CS-FA NPs demonstrated superior antibacterial activity compared to Fe2O3 NPs. In terms of antioxidant activity, Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs showed the highest scavenging activity against DPPH, outperforming Fe2O3 NPs. The anticancer activity of both Fe2O3 NPs and Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs was tested against the HCT-116 human colon cancer cell line, where Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs demonstrated greater anticancer activity with an IC50 value of 10.2 ?g/mL compared to Fe2O3 at 13.8 ?g/mL. Based on the findings of this research, there is a strong indication that Fe2O3 -CS-FA NPs hold significant potential as a nanomaterial well-suited for advanced biomedical applications in the industry. 2025 Indian Chemical Society Subject The topic of the resource Antibacterial activity; Anticancer activity; DPPH; Fe₂O₃ -CS-FA NPs; Marigold flowers Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier B.V.
