Abstract

Elevating and monitoring the temperature of tumors using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) still presents a challenge in magnetic hyperthermia therapy. The efficient heating of tumor volume can be achieved by preparing MNPs with high magnetization values. The next-generation approach to magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided magneto-chemotherapy of cancer based on high-magnetic-moment iron oxide nanoparticles is proposed. The proof of concept is validated by cellular MRI experiments on breast cancer cells. To explore magneto-chemotherapy, we developed high-magnetic-moment iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) using base diisopropylamine (DIPA), which plays a dual role as reducing agent and surface stabilizer. Spherical NPs with ∼12 nm size and a high magnetization value of about 92 emu g-1 at room temperature are obtained by this unique method. A high specific absorption rate value of ∼717 wg-1 was obtained for Fe3O4 NPs in water at an alternating magnetic field of 20 kAm-1 and frequency of 267 kHz, which is attributed to the high magnetization value. The magneto-polymeric micelle structure is formed by using Pluronic F127, and anticancer drug doxorubicin is conjugated in the micelle by electrostatic interactions for magneto-chemotherapy. Finally, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided magneto-chemotherapy was achieved on breast cancer (MCF7) cells with an overall ∼96% killing of cancer cells attained in 30 min of magneto-chmeotherapy.
