摘要
Abstract Background The biological activity of MXenes has been studied for several years because of their potential biomedical applications; however, investigations have so far been limited to 2D titanium carbides. Although monolayered Ti 2 NT x MXene has been expected to have biological activity, experimental studies revealed significant difficulties due to obstacles to its synthesis, its low stability and its susceptibility to oxidation and decomposition. Results In this paper, we report our theoretical calculations showing the higher likelihood of forming multilayered Ti 2 NT x structures during the preparation process in comparison to single-layered structures. As a result of our experimental work, we successfully synthesized multilayered Ti 2 NT x MXene that was suitable for biological studies by the etching of the Ti 2 AlN MAX phase and further delamination. The biocompatibility of Ti 2 NT x MXene was evaluated in vitro towards human skin malignant melanoma cells, human immortalized keratinocytes, human breast cancer cells, and normal human mammary epithelial cells. Additionally, the potential mode of action of 2D Ti 2 NT x was investigated using reactive oxygen tests as well as SEM observations. Our results indicated that multilayered 2D sheets of Ti 2 NT x showed higher toxicity towards cancerous cell lines in comparison to normal ones. The decrease in cell viabilities was dose-dependent. The generation of reactive oxygen species as well as the internalization of the 2D sheets play a decisive role in the mechanisms of toxicity. Conclusions We have shown that 2D Ti 2 NT x in the form of multilayered nanoflakes exhibits fair stability and can be used for in vitro studies. These results show promise for its future applications in biotechnology and nanomedicine.
