<p>A New Type of MgFe₂O₄@CuS-APTES Nanocarrier for Magnetic Targeting and Light-Microwave Dual Controlled Drug Release</p>

Abstract

Introduction Cancer is a major health problem worldwide, and the most extensive treatment can be obtained by using chemotherapy in the clinic. However, due to the low selectivity of cancer cells, chemotherapy drugs produce a series of grievous side effects on normal cells. Methods In this research, we developed novel nanocarriers for magnetically targeted near-infrared (NIR) light-electromagnetic wave dual controlled drug delivery based on MgFe 2 O 4 @CuS nanoparticles (NPs) modified with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in response to magnetic, NIR light, and electromagnetic wave irradiation. Synthesis and characterization of MgFe 2 O 4 @CuS-APTES NPs was carried out using X-ray diffraction measurements, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence emission spectra, UV-1800 spectrophotometer, N5230A vector network analyzer, MDS-6 microwave sample preparation system, and superconducting quantum interference device. In addition to that mentioned above, we also explored many other sides, such as the drug-loading, drug-controlled release efficiency, elect99omagnetic wave thermal effect and photo-thermal effect. Results The results showed that APTES-modified MgFe 2 O 4 @CuS NPs had 37% high drug-loading capacity and high electromagnetic wave thermal conversion ability and NIR-light thermal conversion ability. In addition, ibuprofen (IBU) release from the MgFe 2 O 4 @CuS-APTES-IBU depends on the electromagnetic wave (2.45 GHz) and 1060 nm NIR light irradiation. After five cycles, the drug-release percentage was 90% and 66% separately, and could be adjusted by the time and cycles times of electromagnetic wave and NIR light irritation. Electromagnetic wave irradiation compared with NIR light irradiation, has a higher drug release rate and better penetration. Therefore, choosing different stimulation methods according to the treatment needs of the disease, we can achieve accurate personalized treatment of the disease. Discussion Our findings indicate that multifunctional APTES modified MgFe 2 O 4 @CuS NPs could be used for the first time as a new drug carrier for “location-timing-quantification” drug release with magnetic targeting and dual control of NIR light-electromagnetic waves.

A new copper-supported zinc ferrite as a heterogeneous magnetic nanocatalyst for the synthesis of bis(pyrazolyl)methanes and oxidation of sulfides

“…The bands at 1442 cm −1 correspond to NH due to the deformation of the hydrogen-bonded amine groups respectively. NH 2 stretching vibrations are present at 50,51 3466 cm −1 . In the spectra of ZnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 @APTES@DHBS (d) the peak in the 1327 cm −1 is attributed to the appearance of sulfone groups (-SO 2 -) and the peaks in the 1425 and 1605 cm −1 correspond to the carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) in the aromatic ring.…”

Targeting nanoplatform synergistic glutathione depletion-enhanced chemodynamic, microwave dynamic, and selective-microwave thermal to treat lung cancer bone metastasis

“…For example, Feng et al used a novel Cu–Zr MOF under microwave irradiation to significantly improve the microwave sensitizing effect [ 25 ]. Among these NPs, spinel magnesium ferrite (MgFe 2 O 4 ) NPs can transport drugs to tumor tissue via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and an external magnetic field, and can be used as a MW-susceptible agent for tumor-targeted therapy due to their great biocompatibility and electromagnetic wave heat conversion properties [ [26] , [27] , [28] ]. The MgFe 2 O 4 NPs, serving as promising heterogenous Fenton catalysts, can effectively catalyze H 2 O 2 into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) [ 29 ].…”
