In this paper, a rapid ligand-exchange method was developed to transfer high quality hydrophobic magnetite nanocrystals into water-soluble by using protocatechuic acid as ligand via homogenous reaction. After ligand exchange, the magnetite nanocrystals not only exhibited outstanding stability in water, but also maintained high crystallinity and saturation magnetization. Cell viability experiment demonstrated good biocompatibility of the NPs. For 12 nm magnetite nanoparticles (NPs), the small hydrodynamic size of 14 nm enabled high T1 relaxivity of 17.8 mM-1s-1 while high saturation magnetization of 77.8 emu/g make the NPs exhibited high T2 relaxivity of 220 mM-1s-1 in MRI phantom experiment. in vivo MR imaging experiments further confirmed the NPs were eminent T1 and T2 contrast agent. Moreover, the high quality NPs can be used as excellent magnetic heating agents under an alternating magnetic field. With all those features, including dual-mode imaging and magnetic hyperthermia, the NPs can be used as single compound multifunctional agents for various biomedical application, especially for cancer diagnose and treatment.
Keywords:multifunctional agents; magnetic resonance imaging; magnetic hyperthermia; nanoparticle; water-soluble
