TLDR
The present work studied the possibility of developing a versatile synthesis protocol to hierarchically construct drug-functionalized-SPIONs as potential anti-cancer agents and designed and synthesized bifunctional linkers of varied length and chemical composition to which the anti- cancer drugs 5-fluorouridine or doxorubicin were attached as biologically labile esters or peptides.
