Magnetic drug delivery
Magnetic , and polymers.
Synopsis
iron oxide nanoparticles to ones based on molecular magnets, such as Fe(salen)-based "anticancer nanomagnet" with proven cancer-fighting ability.[3][4][5]
However, insoluble drugs including Fe(salen) also have some inherent drawbacks, such as poor water solubility, loss of magnetic activity in solvents, and potential cytotoxicity when accumulated in tissues and organs.
As an alternative synthetic method of magnetic drug delivery, a "non-iron oxide"-based smart delivery platform has been very recently developed by
MRI, magnetic field- and pH-responsive heat-releasing hyperthermia effects, and controlled release.[6]
