Gadolinium-Doped Iron Oxide Nanoprobe as Multifunctional Bioimaging Agent and Drug Delivery System
Current cancer therapies have attracted wide attention and have had promising success. [ 1–3 ] However, these therapies still have limitations such as (1) inability to bypass biological barriers, (2) nontargeted delivery and passive distribution of drugs, (3) ineffectiveness against metastatic disease, and (4) lack of an effective modality for treatment monitoring. [ 4–7 ] Over the past 20 year...
متن کاملGlucosamine Conjugated Gadolinium (III) Oxide Nanoparticles as a Novel Targeted Contrast Agent for Cancer Diagnosis in MRI
Background: Glucose transporter (Glut), a cellular transmembrane receptor, has a key role in the metabolism of cell glucose and is also associated with various human carcinomas.Objective: In this study, we evaluated a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent for tumor detection based on paramagnetic gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) coated polycyclodextrin (PCD) and mod...
متن کاملIron Oxide as an MRI Contrast Agent for Cell Tracking
Iron oxide contrast agents have been combined with magnetic resonance imaging for cell tracking. In this review, we discuss coating properties and provide an overview of ex vivo and in vivo labeling of different cell types, including stem cells, red blood cells, and monocytes/macrophages. Furthermore, we provide examples of applications of cell tracking with iron contrast agents in stroke, mult...
متن کاملGadolinium as a contrast agent for NMR.
Gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) was studied as a contrast agent for nuclear magnetic resonance. This rare-earth element dramatically alters proton resonance (paramagnetic moment = 10.8 Bohr magnetons). Acute toxicity was determined by intravenous injections in mice; mean lethal dose was 100-200 mg of GdCl3 . 6 H2O/kg. Changes in T1 of plasma, kidney, liver, and brain of mice and rats were measured ...
متن کاملA New Potential Contrast Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Iron Oxide-4A Nanocomposite
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have an important role to differentiate healthy and diseased tissues. Access and design new contrast agents for the optimal use of MRI are necessary. This study aims to evaluate iron oxide–4A nanocomposite ability to act as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.Materials and Methods: Iron oxide–4A nanocomposite (F4A) was syn...
