Abstract

ABSTRACT Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with safety, stability and excellent magneto-calorific effect are the precondition for the smart magnetic drug carriers’ fabrication and controllable drug release at a specific target in clinical treatment. In this study, the drug release and magneto-calorific effect of two types of magnetic lipid microcapsules (MLMs) loading lipid-coated MNPs and uncoated MNPs respectively were compared deeply in experimental analysis and theoretical simulation. The simulation results revealed that almost same magnetic heat effect and temperature increasing exist between lipid-coated and uncoated MNPs, which was consistent with the experimental drug release results. Coating lipid on MNPs didn’t affect the magnetic heat and heat transfer of the MNPs. Because of the heat transfer between MNPs and water, MLMs and water around, the temperature increasing of whole sample solution is lower than that of the MNPs themselves. Our results provide a reliable theoretical basis for the development of healthy, safe, and biocompatible drug delivery systems.
