| Abstract: |
| Magnetite nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized in the presence of chitosan using a coprecipitation method in alkali media. Fe3O4 NPs were synthesised by coprecipitation and surface coating was done by chitosan polymer to avoid agglomeration and we used as a shell around super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), to introduce an efficient drug carrier for cancer drug delivery and Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI). The calibration curve was used to calculate the amount of drug loaded. The drug-loaded content with Fe3O4-chit-Dox NPs was calculated as 75.9% and 9.9%, which are known as loading efficiency and loading capacity values, respectively. |
