Novel multifunctional PHDCA/PEI nano-drug carriers for simultaneous magnetically targeted cancer therapy and diagnosis via magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract: Novel multifunctional magnetic polycation drug carriers (MPDCs) were synthesized to provide simultaneous magnetically targeted cancer therapy and diagnosis via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MPDCs consist of ultra-sensitive magnetic nanocrystals as MR probes and for magnetic targeting, and a chemotherapeutic agent encapsulated in poly(hexadecylcyanoacrylate) (PHDCA) nanoparticles. The PHDCA nanoparticles were further coated with polycationic polyethylenimine (PEI) to enhance cellular uptake efficiency. … Show more

“…The significance of formulating MNPs with various polymer coatings is to minimize macrophage uptake and improve blood circulation time (3438). There are several commercial dextran or polymer coated MNP formulations with available for diagnostics, but the low in vivo half life and rapid capture of the particles by cells and organs of the RES limits their application to spleen and liver diagnostics (2).…”

“…Combinations of functional nanocrystals (fluorescent quantum dots or MRI‐visible magnetic nanoparticles) and therapeutic agents have been found to be compatible with polymeric nanoparticles ( Table 6 ). 157–160 Desai and co‐workers synthesized biodegradable and surfactant‐free nanoparticles co‐incorporated with hydrophobic drug, Coenzyme Q10, and quantum dots using an arrested precipitation method 161. Hyeon and co‐workers synthesized a similar multifunctional polymer system co‐encapsulated with a hydrophobic therapeutic agent (doxorubicin) and either hydrophobic superparamagnetic nanocrystals or hydrophobic quantum dots, using an oil‐in‐water emulsion and a subsequent solvent evaporation technique 162.…”
