Chemically disordered face centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) show the controlled release of Fe in low pH solution. The released Fe catalyzes H(2)O(2) decomposition into reactive oxygen species within cells, causing fast oxidation and deterioration of cellular membranes. Functionalized with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) peptide via phospholipid, the fcc-FePt NPs can bind preferentially to the human ovarian cancer cell line (A2780) that overexpresses LHRH receptors and exhibit high toxicity to these tumor cells. In contrast, the fcc-FePt NPs pre-etched in the low pH (4.8) buffer solution show nonappreciable cytotoxicity. The work demonstrates that fcc-FePt NPs may function as a new type of agent for controlled cancer therapy.

A facile strategy to operate interfaces when synthesizing L1-FePt@Bi-rich nanoparticles (NPs) has been proposed. Two interfaces are indispensable to obtain the high ordering L1-FePt structure. One is the mismatched interfaces between the initial γ-PtBi nuclei and the disordered fcc-FePt phase.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a type of rare cell that are firstly shed from solid tumors and then exist in the bloodstream. The effective capture and separation of CTCs has significant meaning in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, novel FeO-FePt magnetic nanocomposites (FeO-FePt MNCs) were constructed by integrating face centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) onto the surface of the FeO@SiO core.

Multifunctional nanotheranostic agents have been highly commended due to the application to image-guided cancer therapy. Herein, based on the chemically disordered face centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO), we develop a pH-responsive FePt-based multifunctional theranostic agent for potential in vivo and in vitro dual modal MRI/CT imaging and in situ cancer inhibition. The fcc-FePt will release highly active Fe ions due to the low pH in tumor cells, which would catalyze HO decomposition into reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cells and further induce cancer cell apoptosis.

We report the structure-controlled synthesis of FePt/MgO NPs and their catalysis for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.5 M H(2)SO(4) solution. The synthesis yields fcc-FePt/MgO and fct-FePt/MgO NPs with the MgO coating being readily removed for catalytic studies.
