| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By directly delivering the anticancer drug and radioactive substance to the cancer cells, highly efficient treatment with few side effects can be performed. An anticancer drug (gemcitabine) was encapsulated in nanoparticles and synthesized. We have developed a smart thermoresponsive nanofiber that combines anti-cancer drug doxorubicin with magnetic nanoparticles and PNIPAAm, and demonstrated that it efficiently induces apoptosis in cancer cells. As a physical property evaluation, it was clarified from the results of particle size measurement by zeta potential measurement and dynamic light scattering method that the prepared magnetic nanoparticles had a multilayer structure and that the particle size was saturated in about 6 layers. .. It was revealed that a remarkable cell killing effect was induced by applying a magnetic field for 5 min, and the effect was enhanced depending on the application time and the concentration of mf-MNP.
