Book Synthesis  Surface Functionalization  and Biological Testing of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Development as a Cancer Therapeutic

Download or read book Synthesis Surface Functionalization and Biological Testing of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Development as a Cancer Therapeutic written by Stanley Eugene Gilliland (III) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iron oxide nanoparticles are highly researched for their use in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, diagnosis, and therapy. The inherent biodegradable and biocompatible nanoparticle properties make them highly advantageous in nanomedicine. The magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles make them promising candidates for magnetic fluid hyperthermia applications. Designing an efficient iron oxide nanoparticle for hyperthermia requires synthetic, surface functionalization, stability, and biological investigations. This research focused on the following three areas: optimizing synthesis conditions for maximum radiofrequency induced magnetic hyperthermia, designing a simple and modifiable surface functionalization method for specific or broad biological stability, and in vitro and in vivo testing of surface functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles in delivering effective hyperthermia or radiotherapy. The benzyl alcohol modified seed growth method of synthesizing iron oxide nanoparticles using iron acetylacetonate as an iron precursor was investigated to identify significant nanoparticle properties that effect radiofrequency induced magnetic hyperthermia. Investigation of this synthesis under atmospheric conditions revealed a combination of thermal decomposition and oxidation-reduction mechanisms that can produce nanoparticles with larger crystallite sizes and decreased size distributions. Nanoparticles were easily surface functionalized with (3-Glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GLYMO) without the need for organic-aqueous phase transfer methods. The epoxy ring on GLYMO facilitated post-modifications via a base catalyzed epoxy ring opening to obtain nanoparticles with different terminal groups. Glycine, serine, [gamma]-aminobutryic acid (ABA), (S)-( - )-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyric acid (SAHBA), ethylenediamine, and tetraethylenepentamine were successful in modifying GLYMO coated-iron oxide nanoparticles to provide colloidal and varying biological stability while also allowing for further conjugation of chemotherapeutics or radiotherapeutics. The colloidal stability of cationic and anionic nanoparticles in several biologically relevant media was studied to address claims of increased cellular uptake for cationic nanoparticles. The surface functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated to determine effects on cellular uptake and viability. In vitro tests were used to confirm the ability of iron oxide nanoparticles to provide effective hyperthermia treatment. S-2-(4-Aminobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA) was coupled to SAHBA and carboxymethylated polyvinyl alcohol surface functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles and radiolabeled with 177Lu. The capability of radiolabeled iron oxide nanoparticles for delivering radiation therapy to a U87MG murine orthotopic xenograft model of glioblastoma was initially investigated.

Book Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Surface Modification

Download or read book Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Surface Modification written by Richard Hoff and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multifunctional nanomaterials can be engineered to aid in the diagnosis of diseases, enable efficient drug delivery, monitor treatment progress over time, and evaluate treatment outcomes. This strategy, known as theranostics, focuses on the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to provide new clinically safe and efficient personalized treatments. The evaluation of different nanomaterials' properties and their customization for specific medical applications has therefore been a significant area of interest within the scientific community. Iron oxide nanoparticles, specifically those based on iron (II, III) oxide (magnetite, Fe3O4), have been prominently investigated for biomedical, theranostic applications due to their documented superparamagnetism, high biocompatibility, and other unique physicochemical properties. The aim of this thesis is to establish a viable set of methods for preparing magnetite (iron oxide) nanoparticles through hydrothermal synthesis and modifying their surfaces with organic functional groups in order to both modulate surface chemistry and facilitate the attachment of molecules such as peptides via covalent bond formations. Modifying their surfaces with biomolecules such as peptides can further increase their uptake into cells, which is a necessary step in the mechanisms of their desired biomedical applications. The methods of nanoparticle synthesis, surface functionalization, and characterization involving electron microscopy (e.g., SEM, TEM), zeta potential measurements, size analysis (i.e., DLS), and FT-IR spectroscopy will be presented.

Book Characterization and Functionalization of Iron oxide Nanoparticles for Use as Potential Agents for Cancer Thermotherapy

Download or read book Characterization and Functionalization of Iron oxide Nanoparticles for Use as Potential Agents for Cancer Thermotherapy written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents experimental studies of iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis, functionalization, and intracellular hyperthermal effects on murine macrophages as a model in vitro system. Colloidal suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of particular interest in Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH). Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have garnered great interest as economical, biocompatible hyperthermia agents due to their superparamagnetic activity. Here we seek to optimize the synthetic reproducibility and in vitro utilization of IONPs for application in MFH. We compared aqueous synthetic protocols and various protective coating techniques using various analytical techniques and in vitro assays to assess the biocompatibility and feasibility of the various preparations of nanoparticles. Using a co-precipitation of iron salts methodology, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with an average diameter of 6-8nm were synthesized and stabilized with carboxylates. By performing calorimetry measurements in an oscillating magnetic field (OMF) with a frequency of 500 kHz and field strength of 0.008Tesla the superparamagnetic behavior of these particles was confirmed. To further investigate these IONPs in a biological application, citric acid-stabilized particles, in conjunction with heat generated by these IONPs when exposed to an OMF, were assessed to determine their effects on cell viability in a RAW 267.4 murine macrophage model system. Our results show that 91.5-97% of cells that have ingested IONPs die follow exposure to an OMF. Importantly, neither the IONPs (at applicable concentrations) nor the OMF show cytotoxic effects. These particular particles have promising preliminary results as hyperthermic agents in both the current literature and simple, proof-of-concept experiments in our laboratory setting. We present experimental results for the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of iron oxide nanoparticles in MFH. Our results show that while IONPs have potential in MFH, efforts to advance IONPs from laboratory to clinical contexts, where reliable generative techniques and consistent performance properties are necessary, will require an understanding of the influence of the diverse intrinsic structural and magnetic characteristics as well as surface chemistry of nanoparticles, as well as the mechanisms of particle uptake and cell death due to intracellular hyperthermia.

Book Design of Functionalized Nanoparticles as Imaging Agents for Cancer

Download or read book Design of Functionalized Nanoparticles as Imaging Agents for Cancer written by José Alejandro Barreto Solano and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of three different generations of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles derivatized with macrocyclic ligands for application as bi-modal imaging agents in the detection of cancer tumors by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The nanoparticles have been modified with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) in order to avoid uptake by the Reticuloendothelial System (RES), whilst the macrocyclic ligands have been introduced for chelation of the radionuclide 64Cu2+, which is detectable by PET. Apart from being a platform for the transport of the radionuclide complexes, the magnetic nanoparticles themselves act as MRI contrast agents and can be used for hyperthermia treatment of cancer due to their super paramagnetic nature. Synthesis of the first generation nanoparticles involved co precipitation of the core nanoparticles from a solution of iron(II) and iron(III) salts through addition of base. The macrocycles 1,4-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (dmptacn), 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) and 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) were reacted with glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane (GPTES) to form the corresponding siloxane derivatives, which were then hydrolyzed over the surface of the nanoparticles to form a stable coating. Macrocycle loadings of the order of 0.2 mmol/g were achieved using this methodology, and the mean diameter of the nanoparticles was found to be ca. 7 nm, respective of the ligand used. Light scattering measurements showed that the particles form aggregates in solution, with a hydrodynamic size of 150-200 nm. The nanoparticles could be rapidly radiolabeled with 64Cu2+. Challenge experiments performed with an excess of cyclam indicated that the nanoparticles derivatized with dmptacn were the most resistant to 64Cu2+ leaching. These particles were also found to be the most stable in rat plasma. A second generation of nanoparticles was synthesized in order to diminish the aggregation of the nanoparticles. This involved synthesis of the core nanoparticles by co precipitation, followed by surface coating with oleic acid, which provided enhanced stability (reduced aggregation) in organic media. Displacement of the oleic acid chains with polyethylene glycol silane (PEG-silane) derivatives was used to produce a stable coating on the nanoparticles and to render them water soluble. Two different PEG-silane molecules, with different PEG chain lengths (Mn 250 and 600), were used to modified the nanoparticles. It was found that the nanoparticles coated with the longer PEG chains (PEG600) were less susceptible to aggregation in aqueous media. The nanoparticles were also functionalized with different macrocycles through amide coupling to the terminal carboxylic acid groups of the PEG chains. The nanoparticles were found to bind 64Cu2+both specifically (via the macrocycles) and nonspecifically, however the weakly boundions could be removed by addition of cyclam. In addition to MRI and PET, these second generation nanoparticles would be suitable for use in hyperthermia treatment as they possess a good specific absorption rate. The third generation nanoparticles consisted of iron oxide particles synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron oleate in the presence of oleic acid. Substitution of the surface oleate molecules by ligand exchange reaction with a PEG 600-silane derivative produced water dispersible nanoparticles with narrower size distribution and smaller hydrodynamic size than the first two generations of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were found to accumulate in the liver after injection, as revealed by in vivo imaging studies performed on rats. The particles were further functionalized with the 64Cu2+ complex of a new dmptacn derivative, via the free carboxyl groups of the PEG chains, to produce an agent suitable for dual modal MRI-PET imaging.
