Abstract: Aims: Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles have been under intensive investigation in nanomedicine. However, it is still a challenge to synthesize high-quality water-stable magnetite nanoparticles for better magnetic performance and less side effects in medical MRI and nanothermotherapy. Materials & methods: We successfully synthesized hydrophilic magnetite nanoparticles through thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3 in triethylene glycol, which were coated with a triethylene glycol layer and thus demonstrated excellent water stability. Results: The optimized deposition temperature has been found to be 250°C (IO-250 NPs). The magnetic and thermal properties as well as the cytotoxicity of IO-250 NPs were investigated. In vitro experiments have demonstrated high cellular uptake and low cytotoxicity. The hyperthermia experiments showed effectiveness in temperature rise and cancer cell death. IO-250 NPs showed promising MRI with relaxivity r2* as high as 617.5 s-1 mM-1 Fe. In vivo MRI showed excellent tumor imaging. Conclusion: The IO-250 NPs have great potential to be applied for clinical MRI and magnetic thermotherapy. © 2010 Future Medicine Ltd.
