Induction heating studies of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles capped with oleic acid and polyethylene glycol for hyperthermia

TLDR
In this paper, the average crystallite sizes of Fe3O4-MN, Fe3 o4-OA-MN and Fe3 O4-PEG-MN were found to be 12, 6 and 8 nm.
Abstract
Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-MN) capped with either oleic acid (Fe3O4-OA-MN) or polyethylene glycol (Fe3O4-PEG-MN) were prepared by a co-precipitation method. From X-ray diffraction studies, the average crystallite sizes of Fe3O4-MN, Fe3O4-OA-MN and Fe3O4-PEG-MN were found to be 12, 6 and 8 nm, respectively. A reduction in the agglomeration of particles was observed when the magnetic nanoparticles (MN) were capped with oleic acid (OA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), as confirmed by a transmission electron microscopy study. Magnetization of these MN was almost zero at room temperature in the absence of an applied magnetic field, indicating their superparamagnetic behavior. Magnetization was lower and the superparamagnetic fraction was higher for Fe3O4-OA-MN and Fe3O4-PEG-MN compared to Fe3O4-MN studied using a Mossbauer spectrometer. Compared to the control, an increased killing (35%) was observed in human breast cancer cells (MCF7) after Fe3O4-OA-MN treatment, which was further enhanced (65%) under induction heating conditions. However, MCF7 cells treated with Fe3O4-MN or Fe3O4-PEG-MN showed 5–10% killing after induction heating. These results showed the characterization of MN with different lipophilicity and suggests their suitability for hyperthermia applications in cancer therapy.
