Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic nano core-shell capsule for drug delivery, which including: a plurality of amphiphilic protein, a plurality of iron oxide nanoparticles, a hydrophilic drug and a hydrophobic drug. Wherein the magnetic nano core-shell capsule has good biocompatibility duo to the amphiphilic protein as the material, and it only needs single step emulsion to form its nano hollow structure. Therefore, the magnetic nano core-shell capsule of the present invention has high drug loading capacity, the ability of encapsulating hydrophobic and hydrophilic pharmaceuticals simultaneously and characteristic of controlled-release drug delivery. Thus it can be used for targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging and hyperthermia.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a magnetically-controllable nanometric porous drug carrier, wherein an organic or inorganic matrix is used to carry the drug, and wherein magnetic nanoparticles having magnetosensitivity are used to encapsulate the surface of the matrix and seal the drug inside the matrix. An external magnetic field is used to control the removal rate of the magnetic nanoparticles and control the behavior and rate of drug release.

Abstract: A drug carrier with thermal sensitivity, a manufacturing method thereof, and a use thereof are disclosed. The drug carrier comprises a nano-magnetic particle, a drug, a composite polymer, and a dense silica shell. The nano-magnetic particle and the drug are encapsulated in the composite polymer which is formed by self-assembly a water-soluble polymer (such as poly vinyl alcohol) and a thermosensitive copolymer (such as Pluronic F68 or Pluronic F127). The stability and drug release of the drug carrier a can be adjusted by combining PVA and thermosensitive copolymer with a different ratio. When an external magnetic field was applied, the cores exhibit significant size shrinkage and the diameter of the drug carrier decreases more than 10 folds due to the change of temperature, which causes burst-like drug release because of shell destruction and physical collapse of the drug carrier.

Abstract: Nanodevice and method for in vivo monitoring and release of drugs are provided. The disclosed nanodevice is characterized in having a drug-loaded nanosphere that is capable of releasing the encapsulated drugs upon magnetically stimulation. The nanodevice may also be used as a contrast agent for in vivo imaging and monitoring the concentration and distribution of the released drugs and/or active compounds injected separately into a target site of a subject.

Abstract: The invention discloses the synthesis and manufacturing of a novel core-shell nano-carrier with a drug-containing nanocomposite core surrounding with a single crystalline magnetic iron oxide shell. With a unique core-shell configuration, active agents such as drugs and biomolecules encapsulated in the core with an outer single-crystalline thin iron oxide shell can be perfectly protected from environmental damages and in the meantime, eliminating un-desirable release due to un-controllable diffusion of the active molecules from the nanocapsules during the course of delivery in patient's body, before reaching the disease sites.
