Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles As Drug Carriers: Clinical Relevance
Abstract
Significant preclinical and clinical research has explored the use of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) for medical theranostics. Herein, we provide an overview of the optimal 'design-to-perform' MNPs used in cancer therapeutics, specifically focusing on magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic drug targeting, and targeting delivery. An account of the progress made in the clinic using MNPs is then analyzed. We place special emphasis on past and present magnetic nanoformulations used in clinical settings or yet to be clinically approved. Regrettably, as of now, no MNP drug delivery system is employed in the clinic. Thus, identifying current limitations, misconceptions and challenges will definitely impact the clinical success of MNP delivery theranostic systems and their promising future potential in medicine.

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.
