Correction: Preparation and evaluation of the biosynthetic procedure of iron oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles using Hylocereus undatus fruit peel extract and their anticancer properties

TL;DR

This paper corrects a previous study on making iron and magnesium oxide nanoparticles using Hylocereus undatus fruit peel extract and testing their anticancer effects.

Contribution

The paper provides a correction to a prior study's methodology or findings on nanoparticle synthesis and anticancer evaluation.

Findings

The biosynthetic procedure for iron oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles was corrected.

The anticancer properties of the nanoparticles were re-evaluated based on the corrected method.

Abstract

Correction for ‘Preparation and evaluation of the biosynthetic procedure of iron oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles using Hylocereus undatus fruit peel extract and their anticancer properties’ by Sadia Adnin Oyshi et al., RSC Adv., 2025, 15, 15366–15374, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4RA07411D.

The authors regret that there was an error in the equation in the ‘X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis’ part of the ‘Experimental’ section in the original article.

The original equation: D = kλβ cos θ

The correct equation: D = kλ/(β cos θ)

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
