In this paper, we present a study by computer simulation on superparamagnetic hyperthermia with CoFeO ferrimagnetic nanoparticles coated with biocompatible gamma-cyclodextrins (γ-CDs) to be used in alternative cancer therapy with increased efficacy and non-toxicity. The specific loss power that leads to the heating of nanoparticles in superparamagnetic hyperthermia using CoFeO-γ-CDs was analyzed in detail depending on the size of the nanoparticles, the thickness of the γ-CDs layer on the nanoparticle surface, the amplitude and frequency of the alternating magnetic field, and the packing fraction of nanoparticles, in order to find the proper conditions in which the specific loss power is maximal. We found that the maximum specific loss power was determined by the Brown magnetic relaxation processes, and the maximum power obtained was significantly higher than that which would be obtained by the Néel relaxation processes under the same conditions. Moreover, increasing the amplitude of the magnetic field led to a significant decrease in the optimal diameter at which the maximum specific loss power is obtained (e.g., for 500 kHz frequency the optimal diameter decreased from 13.6 nm to 9.8 nm when the field increased from 10 kA/m to 50 kA/m), constituting a major advantage in magnetic hyperthermia for its optimization, in contrast to the known results in the absence of cyclodextrins from the surface of immobilized nanoparticles of CoFeO, where the optimal diameter remained practically unchanged at ~6.2 nm.
本文通过计算机模拟研究了具有生物相容性γ-环糊精(γ-CDs)涂层的 CoFeO 亚铁磁纳米粒子的超顺磁热疗,旨在提高疗效和降低毒性,将其应用于替代癌症疗法。详细分析了 CoFeO-γ-CDs 纳米粒子在超顺磁热疗中导致纳米粒子加热的比损耗功率,这取决于纳米粒子的尺寸、纳米粒子表面γ-CDs 层的厚度、交变磁场的振幅和频率以及纳米粒子的堆积分数,以便找到比损耗功率最大的合适条件。我们发现,最大比损耗功率由布朗磁弛豫过程决定,在相同条件下,获得的最大功率明显高于奈尔弛豫过程获得的最大功率。此外,增加磁场的幅度会导致获得最大比损耗功率的最佳直径显著减小(例如,当磁场从 10 kA/m 增加到 50 kA/m 时,对于 500 kHz 的频率,最佳直径从 13.6nm 减小到 9.8nm),与从固定 CoFeO 纳米粒子表面缺少环糊精的已知结果相比,这在磁热疗的优化方面具有重大优势,在这种情况下,最佳直径实际上保持不变,约为 6.2nm。
