Abstract: | The polymeric functionalization of superparamagnetic iron oxides nanoparticles is developed for cancer targeting capability and magnetic resonance imaging. Here the nanoparticles (NP) are decorated through the adsorption of a polymeric layer around the particle surface for the formation of core-shell. The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are conjugated with fluorescent dye, targeting ligand, and drug molecules for improvement of target specific diagnostic and possible therapeutics applications. In this investigation doxorubicin was loaded into the shell of the MNPs and release study was carried out at different pH. The core-shell structure of magnetic NP coated chitosan matrix was visualized by TEM observation. The cytotoxicity of these magnetic NPs is investigated using MTT assay and receptor mediated internalization by HeLa and NIH3T3 cells are studied by fluorescence microscopy. Moreover, compared with T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the above cells, the synthesized nanoparticles are showed stronger contrast enhancements towards cancer cells. |
