In vitro analysis of cisplatin functionalized magnetic nanoparticles in combined cancer chemotherapy and electromagnetic hyperthermia

IEEE Trans Nanobioscience. 2008 Mar;7(1):15-9. doi: 10.1109/TNB.2008.2000145.

Abstract

A novel platform has been developed for combined cancer chemotherapy and hyperthermia based on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). The capabilities of this system for heating and controlled drug release were investigated, and the system was tested in vitro by the treatment of BP6 rat sarcoma cells, where we demonstrated a synergism between the effects of cisplatin-targetMAG nanoparticles and the application of electromagnetic field.
