FericipXT-coated PEGylated rutile TiO nanoparticles in drug delivery: assessment of imatinib release.

This study presents a facile synthesis strategy for magnetic field-responsive PEGylated iron-supplement-coated rutile titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) for stimulus-responsive drug delivery. Imatinib, an anticancer drug, was successfully loaded into NPs, and its release was investigated under different pH conditions. XRD analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of PEGylated iron supplement-coated rutile titania NPs.

Rapid green-synthesis of TiO nanoparticles for therapeutic applications.

Nanoparticles (NPs) with sizes ranging from 2 nm to 1 μm find various applications in the field of theranostics. Moreover, if eco-friendly methods are opted for the synthesis of biocompatible and less toxic NPs, then that's a huge success. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) have been vigorously studied for their use in medical implants, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, biosensing and as antimicrobial agents.
