Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) are extensively used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic particle imaging (MPI), as well as for magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). We here describe a sequential centrifugation protocol to obtain SPION with well-defined sizes from a polydisperse SPION starting formulation, synthesized using the routinely employed co-precipitation technique. Transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analyses show that the SPION fractions obtained upon size-isolation are well-defined and almost monodisperse. MRI, MPI and MFH analyses demonstrate improved imaging and hyperthermia performance for size-isolated SPION as compared to the polydisperse starting mixture, as well as to commercial and clinically used iron oxide nanoparticle formulations, such as Resovist® and Sinerem®. The size-isolation protocol presented here may help to identify SPION with optimal properties for diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic applications.
超顺磁性氧化铁纳米粒子(SPION)广泛应用于磁共振成像(MRI)和磁共振粒子成像(MPI),以及磁流体热疗(MFH)。我们在这里描述了一种顺序离心方案,用于从使用常规共沉淀技术合成的多分散性 SPION 起始制剂中获得具有明确定义尺寸的 SPION。透射电子显微镜、动态光散射和纳米颗粒跟踪分析表明,通过尺寸分离获得的 SPION 分数是明确的,几乎是单分散的。与多分散起始混合物以及与 Resovist®和 Sinerem®等商业和临床应用的氧化铁纳米颗粒制剂相比,尺寸分离的 SPION 的 MRI、MPI 和 MFH 分析显示出更好的成像和热疗性能。这里提出的尺寸分离方案可能有助于鉴定出具有诊断、治疗和治疗诊断应用最佳性能的 SPION。
