The chemical, physical and biological effects of chiral nanomaterials have inspired general interest and demonstrated important advantages in fundamental science. Here, chiral iron oxide supraparticles (Fe O SPs) modified by chiral penicillamine (Pen) molecules with g-factor of ≈2 × 10 at 415 nm are fabricated, and these SPs act as high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. Therein, the transverse relaxation efficiency and T -MRI results demonstrated chiral Fe O SPs have a r relaxivity of 157.39 ± 2.34 mM ·S for D-Fe O SPs and 136.21 ± 1.26 mM ·S for L-Fe O SPs due to enhanced electronic transition dipole moment for D-Fe O SPs compared with L-Fe O SPs. The in vivo MRI results show that D-Fe O SPs exhibit two-fold lower contrast ratio than L-Fe O SPs, which enhances targeted enrichment in tumor tissue, such as prostate cancer, melanoma and brain glioma tumors. Notably, it is found that D-Fe O SPs have 7.7-fold higher affinity for the tumor cell surface receptor cluster-of-differentiation 47 (CD47) than L-Fe O SPs. These findings uncover that chiral Fe O SPs act as a highly effective MRI contrast agent for targeting and imaging broad tumors, thus accelerating the practical application of chiral nanomaterials and deepening the understanding of chirality in biological and non-biological environments.
手性纳米材料的化学、物理和生物学效应激发了广泛关注,并在基础科学中展现出重要优势。在此,制备了由手性青霉胺(Pen)分子修饰的手性氧化铁超粒子(Fe O SPs),其在415nm处的g因子约为2×10 ,这些超粒子可作为高质量的磁共振成像(MRI)造影剂。其中,横向弛豫效率和T -MRI结果表明,由于D-Fe O SPs相较于L-Fe O SPs具有增强的电子跃迁偶极矩,D-Fe O SPs的r弛豫率为157.39±2.34 mM·S ,L-Fe O SPs的r弛豫率为136.21±1.26 mM·S 。体内MRI结果显示,D-Fe O SPs的对比率比L-Fe O SPs低两倍,这增强了在肿瘤组织(如前列腺癌、黑色素瘤和脑胶质瘤肿瘤)中的靶向富集。值得注意的是,发现D-Fe O SPs对肿瘤细胞表面受体分化簇47(CD47)的亲和力比L-Fe O SPs高7.7倍。这些发现揭示了手性Fe O SPs可作为一种高效的MRI造影剂用于靶向和成像多种肿瘤,从而加速手性纳米材料的实际应用,并加深对生物和非生物环境中手性的理解。
