Recent Advancements in Hyperthermia-Driven Controlled Drug Delivery from Nanotherapeutics

Abstract

Previous reviews of the works on magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia induced treatment concentrated mostly on magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) employing monometallic/metal oxide nanocomposites. In the literature, the word "hyperthermia" was also limited to the use of heat for medicinal purposes. A number of publications have recently been published demonstrating that magnetic nanoparticle-based hyperthermia may produce restricted high temperatures, resulting in the release of medicines that are either connected to the magnetic nanoparticles or encased in polymer matrices. In this debate, we propose broadening the concept of "hyperthermia" to encompass temperature-based treatment as well as magnetically controlled medication delivery. The review also addresses core–shell magnetic nanomaterials, particularly nanoshells made by stacked assembly, for the use of hyperthermia-based treatment and precise administration of drugs. The primary objective of this review article is to demonstrate how the combination of hyperthermia-induced therapy and 'on demand' drug release models may lead to effective applications in personalized medicine.

“…By manipulating the temperature, three distinct types of QDs with varied particle size distributions were produced (1–4 nm, 4–8 nm, and 7–11 nm). As the energy gap reduced from 3.90 to 2.80 eV, the PL emission colours of the resultant QDs varied from blue and green to yellow ( Baig et al, 2022 ).…”
