Introduction: Iron plays an important role in physiological processes as a trace element. Today, iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted extensive attention due to their super paramagnetic properties and a variety of potential applications in many fields. The main objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo toxic effects of the iron oxide nanoparticles on L929 cell line, kid...

In this study, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) with the size range of 20-30 nm were prepared by the modified controlled chemical co-precipitation method from the solution of ferrous/ferric mixed salt-solution in alkaline medium. In this process polyethylene glycol was used as a surfactant to prevent the solution from agglomeration. The prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterize...

To utilize iron oxide nanoparticles in biomedical applications, a sufficient magnetic moment is crucial. Since this magnetic moment is directly proportional to the size of the superparamagnetic nanoparticles, synthesis methods of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with tunable size are desirable. However, most existing protocols are plagued by several drawbacks. Presented here is a one-...

In this Letter, we report, for the first time, using polymer single crystal as magnetically recoverable support for nanoparticle catalysts. This catalyst system is composed of polymer single crystal, platinum nanoparticles, and iron oxide nanoparticles, which act as support, catalysts, and magnetic responsive materials, respectively. Platinum nanoparticles and iron oxide nanoparticles were bond...

Alginates are a class of biopolymers with known iron binding properties which are routinely used in the fabrication of iron-oxide nanoparticles. In addition, alginates have been implicated in influencing human iron absorption. However, the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles employs non-physiological pH conditions and whether nanoparticle formation in vivo is responsible for influencing cellu...

OBJECTIVE Estimation of activity accumulated in tumor and organs is very important in predicting the response of radiopharmaceuticals treatment. In this study, we synthesized (177)Lutetium ((177)Lu)-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles as a double radiopharmaceutical agent for treatment and better estimation of organ activity in a new way by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS (177)Lu-t...

iron oxide (fe2o3) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple approach using sodium borohydride (nabh4) and iron chloride hexahydrate (fecl3.6h2o). their physicochemical properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and electron dispersive spectroscopy (eds). xrd pattern showed that the iron...
