We developed a novel hyperthermia material for cancer therapy, cationic albumin-conjugated magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), which absorb the energy of an alternating magnetic field and convert it into heat. MNPs of about 10 nm were synthesised through co-precipitation, and citric acid was used to stabilise the MNP suspension. Then albumin was cationised by replacing anionic side chain groups with cationic groups. The surface modification of the MNPs was provided by cationic albumin, which was covalently conjugated to carboxylic acid functions located at the distal end of the MNPs' surface by carbodiimide chemistry. Finally, we obtained stable superparamagnetic suspensions with particle sizes of 140 nm and saturation magnetisation of 67 emu/g, which do not have the disadvantage of eventual desorption of physical attachment. We also analysed the potential of these particles for magnetic fluid hyperthermia by determination of the specific absorption rate at a constant frequency of 215 kHz; the temperature increase of the particles was 30.8 °C. This study experimentally demonstrates the high efficiency of these nano-heaters.
我们开发了一种新型的用于癌症治疗的热疗材料,即阳离子化白蛋白偶联磁铁矿纳米颗粒(MNPs),它可以吸收交变磁场的能量并将其转化为热量。通过共沉淀法合成了约 10nm 的 MNPs,并使用柠檬酸稳定 MNPs 悬浮液。然后,通过用阳离子基团取代阴离子侧链基团,使白蛋白正电荷化。MNPs 的表面修饰由阳离子化白蛋白提供,通过碳二亚胺化学将其共价连接到 MNPs 表面远端的羧酸功能上。最后,我们获得了稳定的超顺磁悬浮液,粒径为 140nm,饱和磁化强度为 67emu/g,没有物理附着最终解吸的缺点。我们还通过在 215kHz 的恒定频率下测定比吸收率来分析这些粒子用于磁流体热疗的潜力;粒子的温度升高了 30.8°C。这项研究从实验上证明了这些纳米加热器的高效性。
