摘要

Cancer has been recognized as one of the leading causes of mortality for decades. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging technology that has been widely applied in tumor diagnosis. Herein, we report the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) functionalized with multidentate thioether polymer ligand pentaerythritol tetrakis 3-mercaptopropionate-poly(methacrylic acid) (PTMPPMAA). Cytotoxicity assessment via the CCK-8 assay confirmed the low toxicity of the nanoparticles. MRI results showed excellent negative contrast enhancement. Bio-distribution study indicated gradual excretion of the nanoparticles. These MIONs@PTMP-PMAA exhibit strong negative contrast enhancement and present great potential as T2-weighted contrast agents for MRI.
