Nanochemistry: Synthesis and Characterization of Multifunctional Nanoclinics for Biological Applications

Levy, Laurent, Sahoo, Yudhisthira, Kim, Kyoung-Soo, Bergey, Earl J., Prasad, Paras N.·2002·Chemistry of Materials

Abstract

This paper presents the use of nanoscale chemistry to synthesize a multilevel, hierarchically built nanoparticle, which we define as a nanoclinic, for targeted diagnostics and therapy. This nanoclinic, produced by multistep chemistry in a nanosize micelle, consists of a thin silica shell encapsulating magnetic (Fe 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles and fluorescent dyes for enhanced contrast magnetic resonance and optical imaging and magnetic-induced cancer therapy. Furthermore, the surface of these prototype nanoclinics is functionalized with a biotargeting group, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH−RH). In the work reported here, the LH−RH targets receptor-specific cancer cells for utilization in imaging and investigation of biological effects. The structure and function of these nanoclinics have been characterized using electron and X-ray diffractions, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force and scanning electron microscopy and two-photon laser scanning microscopy. Targeting of the receptor-specific cells has been demonstrated, along with the demonstration of a new mechanism of selective destruction of cancer cells, in a dc magnetic field, using these magnetic nanoclinics.

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.
