Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A multifunctional theranostic agent for arterial embolization hyperthermia was developed. It combines magnetic hyperthermia and embolization ability together with the radiopacity in a single injectable formulation. The developed material represents a stable dispersion of iron oxide multicore particles in ethiodised oil, Lipiodol. The dispersion exhibited a rapid heating rate (19 °C/min) and high specific loss power (42.0 W/g) at clinically relevant alternating magnetic field, enabling therapeutic hyperthermia. It maintained low viscosity (< 1 Pa·s) under field-off conditions, allowing for efficient intra-tumoral or intra-arterial delivery. Upon the application of magnetic field (460 kA/m), the viscosity increased to approximately 4 Pa·s, enabling embolization of tumor vasculature. The inherent radiopacity of Lipiodol, supported by the iron oxide, facilitates real-time image guidance during administration. The cytotoxicity studies, conducted by direct contact with the dispersion, revealed that the material is biocompatible up to a concentration of 0.05 wt%. The prepared Lipiodol-based dispersion of magnetic nanoparticles demonstrates strong potential for minimally invasive, image-guided arterial embolization hyperthermia.
