Iron oxide-doped niosomes as drug carriers for magnetically targeted drug delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetism has wide applications in various fields, such as diagnostics, drug targeting, molecular biology, cell isolation, cell purification, hyperthermia, and radioimmunoassay. In this study, we synthesized niosomes doped with iron oxide nanoparticles and a fluorophore for potential applications in magnetically targeted drug delivery. Release kinetics of the fluorophore and cytotoxicity were assessed. The results demonstrate that niosomes doped with iron oxide nanoparticles can serve as proficient and effective drug carriers in magnetically targeted drug delivery.

متن کاملNiosomes: a Role in Targeted Drug Delivery System
Niosomes are non-ionic surfactant vesicles inclosing an aqueous phase and a wide range of molecules could be encapsulated within aqueous spaces of lipid membrane vesicles. They are microscopic lamellar structures formed on the admixture of a non-ionic surfactant, cholesterol and phosphate with subsequent hydration in aqueous media. Niosomes belongs to novel drug delivery system which offers a l...
