Abstract

ABSTRACTPurposePolyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were tested as a drug carrier system, as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent, and for their ability to conjugate to an antibody.MethodsAn iron oxide core coated with oleic acid (OA) and then with OA-PEG forms a water-dispersible MNP formulation. Hydrophobic doxorubicin partitions into the OA layer for sustained drug delivery. The T1 and T2 MRI contrast properties were determined in vitro and the circulation of the MNPs was measured in mouse carotid arteries. An N-hydroxysuccinimide group (NHS) on the OA-PEG-80 was used to conjugate the amine functional group on antibodies for active targeting in the human MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.ResultsThe optimized formulation had a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 184 nm with an ~8 nm iron-oxide core. The MNPs enhance the T2 MRI contrast and have a long circulation time in vivo with 30% relative concentration 50 min post-injection. Doxorubicin-loaded MNPs showed sustained drug release and dose-dependent antiproliferative effects in vitro; the drug effect was enhanced with transferrin antibody-conjugated MNPs.ConclusionPEG-functionalized MNPs could be developed as a targeted drug delivery system and MRI contrast agent.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
