In this work, a new pH-responsive nanohybrid carrier was prepared with chelating ZnO-dopamine (Zn-d) on the surface of graphene oxide. Doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug was loaded on the resulted nanohybrid. The characteristics of Zn-d-rGO nanohybrid (NH) determined using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), EDX and AFM. The BET analysis showed a specific surface area of 37.16 m(2)/g and the obtained nanohybrid indicated a high loading capacity of DOX up to 99.7%, and the release profile displayed a pH-dependent discharge in the acidic environment for 14 days. The cytotoxicity of the prepared nanohybrid was measured against T47D and MCF10A cells and it confirmed that as-prepared nanohybrid has high toxicity against cancer cells and lower effect against human breast cell. Meanwhile, the prepared nanohybrids showed well antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and negative bacteria. The obtained results showed that the prepared nanohybrid (Zn-d-rGO) could potentially be used as a safe carrier for drug delivery systems.
