摘要:
Proper particle diameter [25, 26] and positive surface charge of nanodrug play an important role in cellular uptake of drug and enhancement target-oriented effects [17]. The particle size of FA-PEG-PEI@SPION-CDDP-TFPI-2 complexes was determined using TEM (Figure 4(a)). TEM micrograph illustrated monodisperse spherical particles with an average diameter of 55.2 ± 8.4 nm, the sizes of which contribute to avoiding phagocytosis by macrophages, renal excretion, and aggregation in the bone marrow. There were several SPION particles at an average diameter of 8 nm arranged as a ring inside the complex. Negligible sedimentation was observed in the complex liquid with one-year observation, which suggested excellent stability of the system. The TEM EDS in Figure 4(b) verified the presence of Pt and Fe elements in FA-PEG-PEI@SPION-CDDP-TFPI-2 complexes, suggesting a potent combination between CDDP and SPION. The Fe content and CDDP loading amount were 5.35 mg/ml and 100 ug/ml, respectively, as counted according to corresponding standard curves by colorimetry.
