Design and construction of polymerized-chitosan coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and its application for hydrophobic drug delivery

Magnetic field responsive methylcellulose-polycaprolactone nanocomposite gels for targeted and controlled release of 5-fluorouracil

“…Prolongation of the release time is an important factor in drug therapy because it can enhance the efficiency of the drug. Magnetic field sensitive gels are good vehicles to control of release from polymeric scaffolds and overcome the initial burst of release [70]. The effect of the external magnetic field on the drug release profile from the magnetic MC/PCL gel films (MC-PCL-M 1 ) was presented in Figure 14a.…”

Nanoscale Clustering and Magnetic Properties of Mn x Fe3−x O4 Particles Prepared from Natural Magnetite

“…Magnetic nanomaterials are highly desirable due to the enormous possibilities they offer in a broad range of applications in biomedical applications [1], photothermal therapy [2], as radiosensitizers in cancer therapy [3], in hydrophobic drug delivery [4], as supercapacitors [5], in copper removal from water [6], as adsorbents of toxic heavy metals [7], and many others. Among the magnetic nanomaterials, magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles are the most extensively studied because they can be manipulated and controlled with an external magnetic field.…”

Targeted delivery and pH-responsive release of stereoisomeric anti-cancer drugs using β-cyclodextrin assemblied Fe3O4 nanoparticles

“…For instance, Ding et al. [20] reported a chitosan crosslinked carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin polymer modified Fe 3 O 4 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 3 magnetic nanoparticles for delivering hydrophobic 5-fluorouracil. Other carriers of β-CD modified Fe 3 O 4 for delivery of diclofenac sodium salt, [21] tamoxifen, [22] camptothecin, [23] curcumin [24] and so on, have been reported.…”
