- The nanoparticles were characterized through various methods, confirming their properties and effectiveness in medical applications.
- In vivo studies showed that these PTX-MNPs-PLO nanoparticles had a longer circulation time in the body and showed potential for targeted drug delivery, especially in kidney applications.
Article Abstract
Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are good candidates to implement fluid therapy in critical patients in clinic integrated system. Herein, we synthesized paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded MNPs modified with methoxy polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lysine-oleic acid (PTX-MNPs-PLO), which is expected to act as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and meanwhile for cancer therapy. MNPs were synthesized by thermal decomposition. Dialysis method was applied to prepare PTX-MNPs-PLO with 3 different PEG molecular weights (1000, 2000, and 4000 Da), which were subsequently freeze-dried into powders. PTX-MNPs-PLO was characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, and MRI. What is more is that pharmacokinetics and distribution in vivo were processed, the results of which exhibited that PTX-MNPs-PLO had the longer circulation lifetime compared with Taxol, PTX-MNPs-PLO, and PTX-MNPs-PLO. Results of magnetic targeting in kidneys suggested that deep buried or ultrasmall magnet is likely to be more preferable. PTX-MNPs-PLO holds great promise in the application of magnetic accumulation, target drug delivery, and thermal therapy.

In this study, we present the synthesis of a silver nanocomposite by utilizing a β-cyclodextrin (βCD) polymer anchored onto the surface of magnetic g-CN (referred to as g-CN-FeO/βCD-Ag). The structure and composition of the g-CN-FeO/βCD-Ag nanocomposite were thoroughly characterized using various techniques, including FT-IR, FE-SEM-EDS, TEM, TGA, XRD, ICP, and VSM. This catalytic system exhibited excellent selectivity in reducing nitro groups, even in the presence of other reactive functional groups, resulting in high yields ranging from 85 to 98%.

Magnetic polymeric nanocomposites are a modern class of materials in which magnetic nanoparticles are embedded in a polymeric matrix. This combination of magnetic responsiveness and tuneable properties bestows versatility on this class of polymer nanocomposite material, which has potentially broad applications in drug delivery, imaging, environmental remediation and beyond. This review covers the uses of magnetic polymeric nanocomposites in drug delivery, discussing magnetic micelles, magnetic liposomes, magnetic hydrogels, magnetic sponges, magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles, magnetic microrobots, magnetic elastomers and magnetic scaffolds.

The improper handling and uncontrolled discharge of toxic organic dyes result in significant adverse effects on both human health and the environment. This study investigates the fabrication of SnO₂, yttrium and cobalt dual-doped SnO₂ (YCSn), chitosan-capped SnO₂ (CS*Sn), and chitosan-capped yttrium and cobalt dual-doped SnO₂ (CS*YCSn) nanoparticles using a one-step coprecipitation method for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. Characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry confirm the successful synthesis of biodegradable CS*YCSn nanoparticles.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is among the most challenging malignant brain tumors, making the development of new treatment strategies highly necessary. Glioma stem cells (GSCs) markedly contribute to drug resistance, radiation resistance, and tumor recurrence in GBM. The therapeutic potential of nanomaterials targeting GSCs in GBM urgently needs to be explored.
