OBJECTIVE To prepare magnetic nanoparticles with good biocompatiblity and evaluate the photothermal effect, cyto- toxicity and photothermal abltion of cancer cells in vitro, METHODS The magnetic nanoparticles were sythesized using a modified solvothermal reaction and then modified with O-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) and chitosan respectively. The prepared magneic particles were characterized with TEM and TGA. Then the stability and photothermal effect were evaluated. MTY method was ued to study the cytotoxicity and cancer therapeutic effect of the magnetic nanoparticles. RESULTS The obtained Fe3 04 nanoparticles were uniform and well dispersed. After modification with CMCTS, Fe3 04 showed good stability and photothermal effect. No obvious cytotoxic- ity was observed in Fe3 O4-CMCTS treated cells. Fe3 04-chitosan exhibited some cytotoxicity for the poor stability. After being treated with Fes 04 -CMCTS or Fe3 04-Chitosan at the concentration of 60 μg · mL^-1 and exposed to 808 nm laser for 5 min at a low power den- sity of 2 W · cm^-2, over 90% of KB cells were destructed. CONCLUSION The obtained Fe3 04-CMCTS magnetic nanoparticles had favourable stability, low cytotoxicity and excellent photothermal effect, and should be studied further as a novel photothermal agent.
