A facile one-pot synthesis route for the preparation of water-soluble, biocompatible patchy Fe3O4-Au nanoparticles (Fe3O4-Au pNPs) was developed. Biocompatibility was attained through surface functionalization with 1-methyl-3-(dodecylphosphonic acid) imidazolium bromide. The morphology, composition, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the Fe3O4-Au pNPs were investigated by conducting experiments with transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and superconducting quantum interference device, respectively. Internalization of the Fe3O4-Au pNPs by MCF-7 cells occurred via endocytosis. The performance of the Fe3O4-Au pNPs as X-ray radiosensitizer in tumor cells was compared with that of gold nanocluster and Fe3O4 NPs. For this reason, MCF-7, A549 and MCF-10A cells were loaded with the respective kind of nanoparticles and treated with X-rays at doses of 1, 2 or 3 Gy. The nanoparticle-induced changes of the concentration of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected using specific assays, and the cell survival under X-ray exposure was assessed employing the clonogenic assay. In comparison with the gold nanocluster and Fe3O4 NPs, the Fe3O4-Au pNPs exhibited the highest catalytic capacity for ROS generation in MCF-7 and A549 cells, whereas in the X-ray-induced ROS formation in healthy MCF-10A cells was hardly enhanced by the Fe3O4 NPs and Fe3O4-Au pNPs. Moreover, the excellent performance of Fe3O4-Au pNPs as X-ray radiosensitizers was verified by the quickly decaying radiation dose survival curve of the nanoparticle-loaded MCF-7 and A549 cells and corroborated by the small values of the associated dose-modifying factors.

AbstractSeveral ways to functionalize hydroxy-tripod-ligands (HOCH2C(CH2PR2)3) by activation with electrophiles are presented. The use of carboxylic halides and anhydrides is shown to be generally successful for esterification reactions in a one-pot synthesis starting from the oxetanes O(CH2)2C(CH2PR2)2. Facial coordinaton of the related esters towards iron(II) and molybdenum(O) can be achieved depending on the nature of the phosphane donor groups. If methyliodide or trimethylsilylchloride are used as electrophiles in order to functionalize the hydroxy group in HOCH2C(CH2PR2)3, it is necessary to proctect the phosphane groups by formation of the tris-borane adduct. All new compounds have been fully characterized by the usual analytical techniques as well as by X-ray analyses on selected examples.

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy remain the most widely used treatment options in treating cancer. Recent developments in cancer research show that therapy combined with high-atomic number materials such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is a new way to treat cancer, in which AuNPs are injected through intravenous administration and bound to tumor sites has enhanced tumor cell killing. Radiation therapy aims to deliver a high therapeutic dose of ionizing radiation to the tumor without exceeding normal tissue tolerance. In this work AuNPs have been used for the enhancement of radiation effects on breast cancer cells (MCF-7) for superficial kilovoltage X-ray radiation therapy. The use of AuNPs in superficial kilovoltage X-ray beams radiation therapy will provide a high probability for photon interaction by photoelectric effect. These provide advantages in terms of radiation dose enhancement. In this work, MCF-7 cells were seeded in the 96-well plate and treated with 13 nm, 50 nm and 70 nm AuNPs before they were irradiated with 80 kVp X-rays beam at various radiation doses. Photoelectric effect is the dominant process of interaction of 80 kVp X-rays with AuNPs. When the AuNPs are internalized into the MCF-7 cells, the dose enhancement effect is observed. The presence of AuNPs in the MCF-7 cells will produce a higher number of photoelectrons, and resulting more “free radicals” that will lead to increase in cell death. Then, these free radicals will lead to DNA damage to the MCF-7 cells. To validate the enhanced killing effect, both with and without AuNPs MCF-7 cells is irradiated simultaneously. By comparison, the results show that AuNPs significantly enhance cancer killing and the enhancement radiation effect was dependent on the size of AuNPs.
