摘要

In this study, furan-based crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) (DFA-PMMA) composites coated with carrageenan-kappa were synthesized to enhance solubility and cytotoxic efficacy against A549 lung cancer cells. FTIR analysis confirmed successful crosslinking through the appearance of amide C = O stretching at 1658 cm⁻¹. XRD patterns revealed a shift towards amorphous structures with broadened peaks around 30°, indicating reduced crystallinity. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, with T10% degradation temperatures increasing from 253 °C (PMMA) to 278 °C (DFA-PMMA5). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) results further showed a rise in glass transition temperature (Tg) from 105 °C for PMMA to 121 °C for DFA-PMMA5, indicating increased crosslinking density. Cytotoxicity assays revealed a significant reduction in IC50 values from 175 µg/mL (PMMA) to 72 µg/mL (DFA-PMMA5), and further down to 4.67 µg/mL for carrageenan-coated DFA-PMMA5, highlighting improved anticancer activity. Solubility testing revealed enhancements by approximately 10-fold in HCl and 4-fold in pH 6.8 media. The developed composites offer promising potential as bioactive polymeric systems for targeted lung cancer therapy.
