  • FOLIC ACID-MEDIATED MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLE CLUSTERS FOR COMBINED TARGETING, DIAGNOSIS, AND THERAPY APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20110085987
    Abstract: The preparation method of the magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) includes steps of: (a) reacting folic acid (FA) with Pluronic F127 (PF127) to form FA-PF127; (b) reacting poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with FeCl3 to form PAA-bound iron oxide (PAAIO); and (c) reacting FA-PF127 with PAAIO via N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) mediation to form FA-PF127-PAAIO. FA-PF127-PAAIO is nontoxic and shows the superparamagnetic property at room temperature. The Nile red-loaded FA-PF127-PAAIO can be performed as the chemotherapy agent and the contrast agent on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
