Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) coating improves the uptake efficiency presumably by engendering the Fe(2)O(3)-NPs. In the present study, we investigated the possible environmental safety concentrations of Fe(2)O(3)-NPs using different assay systems in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans with lethality, development, reproduction, locomotion behavior, pharyngeal pumping, defecation, intestinal autofl...

objective(s): according to the unique properties of magnetic nanoparticles, their usages in medicine and industry have increased in the last decade. due to the vital role of liver in the body, the accumulation of cofe2o4 and cofe2o4@dmsa was studied. materials and methods:the nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and were coated with dmsa. the techniques xrd, tem, dls, ftir,...

Although iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have been proposed for numerous biomedical applications, little is known about their biotransformation and long-term toxicity in the body. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles have been proven efficient for in vivo drug delivery, but these results must nonetheless be sustained by comprehensive studies of long-term distribu...

background: recently, applications of nanoparticles in many fields of medicine have been developed, due to their specific physical and chemical properties. therefore assessment of their toxicity specially in the in vivo condition is necessary. objectives: the aim of this study is to evaluation the effect of fe3o4 nanoparticles coating by biocompatible compounds on their toxicity and also compar...

BACKGROUND Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNP) have been used for contrast enhancement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In recent years, research on the use of ferrite nanoparticles in T2 contrast agents has shown a great potential application in MR imaging. In this work, Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 and Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4-DMSA magnetic nanoparticles, CZF-MNPs and CZF-MNPs-DMSA, were investigated as MR imaging co...

One major obstacle for successful application of nanoparticles in medicine is its potential nanotoxicity on the environment and human health. In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity effect of dimercaptosuccinic acid-coated iron oxide (DMSA-Fe2O3) using cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). Our results showed that DMSA-Fe2O3 in the culture medium could be absorbed into HAECs, and...

This work aims at studying how the transformations that magnetic nanoparticles suffer in vivo affect their heating properties frame of hyperthermia treatments. Iron oxide (≈13 nm) with two different coatings [PMAO (polymaleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene) and DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid)] have been subjected to an accelerated degradation a medium simulating lysosome conditions. The particles ph...
