Nanomaterials such as hydroxyapatite have been extensively researched, thanks to their unsual properties, which are similarin chemical composition to bone tissue. In addition, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles offer a wide range of possibilities forfunctionalization which make it an interesting material for target drug delivery applications, showing strong potential forcoupling natural substances such as curcumin to improve the antitumor effect of this substance in the fight against cancer. Curcumin has been researched over the years, thanks to its anticancer properties. Hydroxyapatite also allows the incorporationof paramagnetic elements into their structure, such as gadolinium (Gd), allowing the production of a probe for diagnosticimaging using nuclear magnetic resonance imaging systems. In this work, hydroxyapatite nanorods (HA) doped withGd were synthesized to produce folic acid (FA) functionalized nanostructures for targeted delivery of curcumin (CM). Thesamples were characterized using various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visiblespectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), zeta potential analysis (ζ), transmissionelectron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating samples magnetometry (VSM). The results indicated a successful obtaining ofparamagnetic HA-Gd nanostructures functionalized with FA and CM, exhibiting characteristics that credit this system forfuture biological assays in order to evaluate their efficiency in the treatment and diagnosis of osteosarcoma
