摘要: Hyperbranched polyglycerol-grafted Fe3O4 nanoparticles (HPG-grafted MNPs) are newly developed MRI contrast agents with good stability, dispersibility, and biocompatibility. Their magnetic, cell uptake properties may be changed when their size varies. In this study, HPG-grafted MNPs ranging from 8 to 10, 13, 15 nm were successfully synthesized via a facile one-pot reaction using ferric oxalate pentahydrate as the precursor. With increase of particle size, show increasing trends in saturation magnetization, transverse relaxivities (R2), R2/R1 ratio, uptake. MTT assays indicated that defferent sizes did not possess significant cytotoxicity toward mouse macrophages 3T3 fibroblasts. Furthermore, vivo experiments carried out 8-nm injected into live rabbit. Our results demonstrate MNPs, which can synthetically controlled, played an important role tuning magneti...
