High mortality and morbidity rates are related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the most prevalent type of liver cancer. A new vision for cancer treatment and cancer cell targeting has emerged with the application of nanotechnology, which reduces the systemic toxicity and adverse effects of chemotherapy medications while increasing their effectiveness. It was the goal of the proposed work to create and investigate an anticancer C@Fe@Cu nanocomposite (NC) loaded with Doxorubicin (DOX) for the treatment of HCC. Scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM) were used to examine the morphology of the produced NC. The formulation variables (DOX content, C@Fe@Cu NC weight, and stirring speed) were analyzed and optimized using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Additionally, X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) were investigated. Doxorubicin and DOX- loaded C@Fe@Cu NC (DOX-C@Fe@Cu NC) were also assessed against HEPG2 cells for anticancer efficacy (Hepatic cancer cell line). The results revealed the formation of C@Fe@Cu NC with a mean size of 7.8 nm. A D-R model with a mean size of 24.1 nm best fits the adsorption behavior of DOX onto the C@Fe@Cu NC surface. DOX-C@Fe@Cu NC has also been demonstrated to have a considerably lower IC50 and higher cytotoxicity than DOX alone in an in vitro investigation. Therefore, DOX-C@Fe@Cu NC is a promising DOX delivery vehicle for the full recovery of HCC.
