Aluminium hydroxide stabilised MnFe(2)O(4) and Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles as dual-modality contrasts agent for MRI and PET imaging
Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) MnFe(2)O(4) and Fe(3)O(4) were stabilised by depositing an Al(OH)(3) layer via a hydrolysis process. The particles displayed excellent colloidal stability in water and a high affinity to [(18)F]-fluoride and bisphosphonate groups. A high radiolabeling efficiency, 97% for...

Sumario: | Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) MnFe(2)O(4) and Fe(3)O(4) were stabilised by depositing an Al(OH)(3) layer via a hydrolysis process. The particles displayed excellent colloidal stability in water and a high affinity to [(18)F]-fluoride and bisphosphonate groups. A high radiolabeling efficiency, 97% for (18)F-fluoride and 100% for (64)Cu-bisphosphonate conjugate, was achieved by simply incubating NPs with radioactivity solution at room temperature for 5 min. The properties of particles were strongly dependant on the thickness and hardness of the Al(OH)(3) layer which could in turn be controlled by the hydrolysis method. The application of these Al(OH)(3) coated magnetic NPs in molecular imaging has been further explored. The results demonstrated that these NPs are potential candidates as dual modal probes for MR and PET. In vivo PET imaging showed a slow release of (18)F from NPs, but no sign of efflux of (64)Cu. |
