pH sensitive surfactant-stabilized Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanocarriers for dual drug delivery.
Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces 2018 Februrary 2
Highly water-dispersible surfactant-stabilized Fe3 O4 magnetic nanocarriers (SMNCs) were prepared by self-assembly of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) on hydrophobic (oleic acid coated) nanoparticles and their biomedical applications were investigated. These nanocarriers have an average size of about 10nm and possess tunable surface charge properties. The formation of an organic coating of SDS was evident from infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta-potential and thermogravimetric measurements. These nanocarriers were used for loading of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic anticancer agents such as doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and curcumin (CUR), respectively. DOX was conjugated onto the surface of nanocarriers through electrostatic interaction, whereas CUR was encapsulated into the hydrophobic interlayer between oleic acid and SDS. The toxicity and cellular internalization of drug loaded nanocarriers were investigated against WEHI-164 cancer cell line. Specifically, the drug loading, pH sensitive drug release and cellular internalization studies suggested that these nanocarriers are suitable for dual drug delivery. Furthermore, they show good heating ability under AC magnetic field, thus can be used as effective heating source for hyperthermia treatment of cancer.
