Magnetite nanoparticles (FeO NPs) are widely tested in various biomedical applications, including magnetically induced hyperthermia. In this study, the influence of the modifiers, i.e., urotropine, polyethylene glycol, and NHHCO on the size, morphology, magnetically induced hyperthermia effect, and biocompatibility were tested for FeO NPs synthesized by polyol method. The nanoparticles were characterized by a spherical shape and similar size of around 10 nm. At the same time, their surface is functionalized by triethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, depending on the modifiers. The FeO NPs synthesized in the presence of urotropine had the highest colloidal stability related to the high positive value of zeta potential (26.03 ± 0.55 mV) but were characterized by the lowest specific absorption rate (SAR) and intrinsic loss power (ILP). The highest potential in the hyperthermia applications have NPs synthesized using NHHCO, for which SAR and ILP were equal to 69.6 ± 5.2 W/g and 0.613 ± 0.051 nHm/kg, respectively. Their application possibility was confirmed for a wide range of magnetic fields and by cytotoxicity tests. The absence of differences in toxicity to dermal fibroblasts between all studied NPs was confirmed. Additionally, no significant changes in the ultrastructure of fibroblast cells were observed apart from the gradual increase in the number of autophagous structures.
磁铁矿纳米颗粒(FeO NPs)广泛应用于各种生物医学应用中,包括磁诱导热疗。在这项研究中,测试了修饰剂,即六亚甲基四胺、聚乙二醇和 NHHCO 对通过多元醇法合成的 FeO NPs 的尺寸、形态、磁诱导热疗效果和生物相容性的影响。纳米颗粒呈球形且尺寸相似,约为 10nm。同时,根据修饰剂的不同,它们的表面由三甘醇或聚乙二醇官能化。在六亚甲基四胺存在下合成的 FeO NPs 具有最高的胶体稳定性,这与 ζ 电位的正值(26.03±0.55 mV)有关,但具有最低的比吸收率(SAR)和固有损耗功率(ILP)。在热疗应用中具有最高潜力的是使用 NHHCO 合成的 NPs,其 SAR 和 ILP 分别为 69.6±5.2 W/g 和 0.613±0.051 nHm/kg。通过细胞毒性测试和对广泛磁场的适用性验证了它们的应用可能性。确认了所有研究的 NPs 对皮肤成纤维细胞的毒性没有差异。此外,除了自噬结构数量的逐渐增加外,没有观察到成纤维细胞超微结构的明显变化。
