Development of new fluorescent silica and multifunctional nanoparticles for bio-imaging and diagnostics

Lemelle, Arnaud January 2011 (has links)
Silica nanoparticles are effective fluorophore carriers with high potential in imaging, diagnostics, and therapy. The particles are resistant to drastic change of environmental conditions (pH, temperature etc.) and insulate the dyes so as to protect them from photobleaching. Silica chemistry is also versatile and affords an easy modification of the particle composition and surface to integrate targeting ligands or to integrate other nanoparticles. Regardless of their advantages, there exists a lack of dye diversity in the literature that is connected to a low affinity for potential tools for biology and medicineThis thesis describes the development of an alternative method for the synthesis of fluorescent silica nanoparticles and their modification to incorporate iron oxide and gold. cont/d.

No. of bitstreams: 1 THIBÉRIO MUNDIM FERREIRA PIRES - DISSERTAÇÃO PPG-CEMat 2014..pdf: 2711001 bytes, checksum: 1f8649d213d5e99a5e386e92ea63aa59 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-07-18 / Agentes de contraste são materiais de grande relevância para a qualidade das imagens obtidas por ressonância magnética, acentuando o contraste das imagens e facilitando o diagnóstico de patologias. As nanopartículas têm sido bastante utilizadas como agentes de contraste para ressonância magnética, sendo que as mais utilizadas são as nanopartículas de óxido de ferro. A segurança e toxicidade das nanopartículas tem sido objeto de uma preocupação cada vez maior, pois o conhecimento sobre os efeitos biológicos de materiais deste tipo ainda não é suficiente. As propriedades das nanopartículas, por sua vez, dependem do tamanho, microestrutura e revestimento da superfície, controlados pelas condições de síntese e processamento das nanopartículas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter óxido de ferro pelo Método Pechini, para utilização como agentes de contraste para uso em ressonância magnética, de modo a caracterizá-los. Nanopartículas de óxido de ferro foram sintetizadas pelo Método Pechini, com razão entre o ácido cítrico em relação aos cátions metálicos de 3:1, sendo posteriormente calcinadas em temperaturas de 400ºC e 900ºC, pelos períodos de 1h ou 2h. Logo após foram caracterizadas por Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), Espectroscopia de Energia Dispersiva de Raios-X (EDS), Difração de Raios X - (DRX), Análise de Calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial (DSC), Termogravimetria (TG) e Espectroscopia de Infravermelho com Transformada de Fourier (FTIR). Também foi realizado Ensaio de Citotoxicidade – Viabilidade Celular. Os resultados de DRX revelaram a formação da fase hematita e presença de segunda fase magnetita. A morfologia é constituída de aglomerados de aspecto rígido com partículas de formato irregular, com tamanho menor e maior que 10 µm. A temperatura de calcinação de 400ºC não foi suficiente para se obter nanopartículas de óxido de ferro estáveis termicamente. Os pós obtidos pelo Método Pechini não apresentaram viabilidade celular. / Contrast agents are materials of great relevance to the quality of the images obtained by magnetic resonance imaging, accentuating the contrast of images and facilitating the diagnosis of pathologies. Nanoparticles have been widely used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, and the most used are nanoparticles of iron oxide. The safety and toxicity of nanoparticles has been the subject of increasing concern, because knowledge about the biological effects of such materials is not enough. The properties of the nanoparticles, in turn, depend on the size, microstructure and surface coating, all of them controlled by the conditions of synthesis and processing of nanoparticles. The aim of this study was to obtain iron oxide by Pechini method, for use as contrast agents in diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging, in order to characterize them. Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by Pechini method with ratio of citric acid to metal cations in relation 3:1, subsequently calcined at temperatures of 400 º C and 900 º C, for periods of 1h or 2h. Soon after were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy Xray (EDS), X-Ray Diffraction - (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry analysis (DSC) , Thermogravimetry (TG), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Was also performed Cytotoxicity Assay - Cell Viability. The XRD showed the formation of phase of hematite and presence of second phase of magnetite. The morphology consists of rigid aspect of agglomerates with particles of irregular shape and with a smaller size greater than 10 µm. The calcination temperature of 400 ° C was not sufficient to obtain iron oxide nanoparticles thermally stable. The powders obtained by the Pechini method showed no cell viability.
