Owing to their 4f electrons and high atomic numbers, lanthanide (Ln) elements impart lanthanide oxide (LnO) nanoparticles with excellent biomedical imaging properties. This study reports synthesis for three types of ultrasmall and monodisperse LnO nanoparticles (Ln = Eu, Gd, and Tb) via thermal decomposition in oleylamine at 280 °C, followed by ligand exchange with citric acid (CA) to produce water-dispersible, CA-grafted LnO nanoparticles with high colloidal stability. The resulting CA-grafted LnO nanoparticles had average diameters of approximately 2 nm. We characterized their physicochemical properties, including in vitro cytotoxicity, magnetic resonance imaging properties (i.e., water proton spin relaxivities), and X-ray imaging properties (i.e., X-ray attenuation).
由于其4f电子和高原子序数,镧系(Ln)元素赋予氧化镧(LnO)纳米颗粒优异的生物医学成像特性。本研究报告了通过在280°C的油胺中热分解合成三种超小且单分散的LnO纳米颗粒(Ln = Eu、Gd和Tb),随后与柠檬酸(CA)进行配体交换,以制备具有高胶体稳定性的水分散性、CA接枝的LnO纳米颗粒。所得的CA接枝的LnO纳米颗粒的平均直径约为2nm。我们表征了它们的物理化学性质,包括体外细胞毒性、磁共振成像特性(即水质子自旋弛豫率)和X射线成像特性(即X射线衰减)。
