BACKGROUND Application of nanoenzymes, based on D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) conjugated to magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), as anticancer system requires improvement of the synthesis protocol and in vivo distribution evaluation. RESULTS A new and more efficient synthesis via EDC-NHS produced an Fe3O4NP-APTES-DAAO system with a specific activity of 7 U/mg NPs. IR spectroscopy showed that all Fe3O4...

Iron oxides in nature take on different forms. „The most common iron oxide is hematite, Fe2O3, which is the end product of many geological processes and the main source of iron for our civilization,“ explains Bykova. During the past five years, however, scientists have discovered other iron oxides like Fe4O5, Fe5O6, and Fe13O19 that form at high pressures and temperatures. Investigating the beh...

Fully ordered face-centered tetragonal (fct) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by thermal annealing of the MgO-coated dumbbell-like FePt-Fe3O4 NPs followed by acid washing to remove MgO. These fct-FePt NPs show strong ferromagnetism with room temperature coercivity reaching 33 kOe. They serve as a robust electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 M HClO4 and hydrogen ...

The effect of ultrasonic irradiation on direct maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) preparation by a co-precipitation method with Fe3+ salt (Fe(NO3)3) and an excess amount alkaline (KOH) solution without going through the conventional magnetite (Fe3O4) formation route was explored in comparison impeller stirring. procedure for obtaining iron oxide nanoparticles designed using sequential processes precipitation,...

SPIONs are composed of Fe3O4 or gamma Fe2O3 cores and a biocompatible shell from Dextran, PLA, PEG, Chitosan, PVA. have many important applications in medicine biology such as cell sorting, drug carrier, magnetic hyperthermia, resonance imaging (MRI). This study aims to check the ability copolymer PLA-PEG coated ferromagnetic nanosystems (Fe3O4@PLA-PEG) produced for MRI application. The results...

Heparin has been conjugated to Fe3O4, Co3O4, and NiO nanoparticles (NPs) through electrostatic interactions, producing colloidal suspensions of hybrid metal oxide heparin NPs that are stable in water. Negative zeta potentials and retention of heparin's ability to capture toluidine blue indicate that heparin's negative charges are exposed on the surface of the coated NPs. IR results confirmed th...

Introduction Magnetic oxide nanomaterials, including iron oxide (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3), spinel ferrites (MFe2O4; M=Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni, or Co) and hexagonal ferrite (MFe12O19, M=Ba and Sr) are attracting much attention due to their wide application potentials in advanced magnets, electronic devices, information storage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and drug-delivery technology [1-6]. Hence, the sy...

A rapid and simple method was optimized and validated for the separation and quantification of paraquat, a frequently used herbicide and a leading cause of fatal poisoning worldwide, at trace levels with UV-Vis spectrophotometry in plasma and urine samples by direct magnetic solid-phase extraction. Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were used as the magnetic solid-phase extraction agents and the pa...

Fe-based nanoparticles were prepared by laser-driven pyrolysis. The assynthesised powder consists of α-Fe and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles embedded in a pyrolytic carbon matrix. The crystallite size of 1.8 nm for α-Fe was calculated using the Scherrer formula. The as-synthesised nanopowder was superparamagnetic. The maximum of the zero-field cooling curve was observed at 32 K and the distributio...
