Synthesis of magnetoliposomes with monodisperse iron oxide nanocrystal cores for hyperthermia

چکیده
Heating rates generated by superparamagnetic particles deteriorate quickly with particle polydispersity. We prepared highly uniform, monodisperse, single-crystal magnetite nanoparticles of tailorable size via organometallic decomposition. As-synthesized nanocrystals were coated with phospholipids to form biocompatible magnetoliposomes. Modeling of AC-magnetic field parameters indicates that 11 nm nanocrystals have maximum heating rates within the biologically safe frequency range. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In situ precipitation: a novel approach for preparation of iron-oxide magnetoliposomes
BACKGROUND Conventional methods of preparing magnetoliposomes are complicated and inefficient. A novel approach for magnetoliposomes preparation was investigated in the study reported here. METHODS FeCl3/FeCl2 solutions were hydrated with lipid films to obtain liposome-encapsulated iron ions by ultrasonic dispersion. Non-encapsulated iron ions were removed by dialysis. NH3·H2O was added to th...

Colloidal nanocrystal assemblies (nanoclusters), consisting of 13 nm iron oxide nanocrystals, were synthesized in various sizes (45-98 nm), and were investigated as heating mediators for magnetic particle hyperthermia. The colloidal nanocrystal clusters show enhanced heating efficiency in comparison with their constituent primary iron oxide nanocrystals due to collective magnetic features. The ...
