The present study investigated the algae-mediated green synthesis of dextran-coated titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO<sub>2</sub>NPs) and evaluated their cytotoxic effects against MCF-7 breast cancer cells.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="tab-stops:396.55pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">Methods: </span></span></span></span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">Chlorella vulgaris</span></span></span></span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt"> was isolated and identified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplification of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene was used to confirm the isolate. Dextran from <i>C. vulgaris</i> was used to prepare coated TiO<sub>2</sub>NPs, characterized using three techniques. The cytotoxicity of the dextran-coated TiO<sub>2</sub>NPs was evaluated using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay on MCF7- breast cancer cells at various concentrations (25, 50, and 75%) and exposure times (24, 48, and 72 hours). The bioactive compounds in the algal extract were also identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="tab-stops:396.55pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">Results</span></span></span></span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">: Chlorella vulgaris</span></span></span></span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt"> was successfully isolated as confirmed by the 345-bp PCR-amplified fragment. The characterization of the TiO<sub>2</sub>NPs confirmed the successful nanoparticle formation. A cluster of nanocrystalline particles had an average diameter of 71.44 nm. Compositional analysis revealed 15.85%&nbsp;atomic percentage for titanium. The dextran-coated TiO2NPs exhibited an impressive cytotoxicity rate of up to 99% at optimal concentration (25%) and exposure time (48 hours). Additionally, GC-MS analysis identified bioactive compounds in the algal extract, such as fatty acids, which may contribute to the observed anticancer effects.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="tab-stops:396.55pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">Conclusion: </span></span></span></span></i></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="color:black"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">The study demonstrated the potential of algae-mediated TiO<sub>2</sub>NPs in cancer co-therapy, enhancing treatment effectiveness and reducing the side effects of traditional therapies.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div> Anaphalisoic acid, Capping, Chlorella vulgaris, Cytotoxicity, rRNA gene. 358 367 http://rbmb.net/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1601-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Raghad Jasim Fayyad raghadjasim@uomustansiriyah.edu.iq. 100319475328460020685 100319475328460020685 Yes Department of Biology, College of Science, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq.
