In vitro and in vivo evaluation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles coated by bisphosphonates: The effects of electrical charge and molecule length
Physicochemical coating properties are often considered to be determining factors for in vivo characteristics of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, used as contrast agent in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). To investigate the electrical charge (modified by zero, one or two ammonium groups)...

Summary: | Physicochemical coating properties are often considered to be determining factors for in vivo characteristics of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, used as contrast agent in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). To investigate the electrical charge (modified by zero, one or two ammonium groups) and the molecule length (3, 5 or 7 methylene chains) effects of bisphosphonate-type coatings, we assessed the complement activation, in vivo plasma and tissue relaxation time alterations of intravenously injected small iron oxide nanoparticles ( |
