Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Key Physicochemical Properties and Biomedical Applications

The present paper as a review focus on the progress in superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(SPION) in the drug delivery system by summarize the recently researches. As a result, superparamagnetic nanoparticles are coated with biocompatible materials and can be functionalized with drugs, proteins or plasmids. And SPION has been extensively used in the clinical practices, such as disease diagnosis, drug targeted therapy, gene transfection, medical imaging, heat treatment and radiation. In addition, SPION is also used in cell separation and classification and protein purification and nucleic acid extraction. In conculsion, SPION is a kind of high efficient, economical and safe carrier, which will be widely used in clinical diagnosis and treatments. In this review the key physicochemical properties and applications of SPION in the biomedical sector are introduced and discussed.
