abstract = {Magnetic nanoparticles are highly desirable for biomedical
research and treatment of cancer especially when combined
with hyperthermia. The efficacy of nanoparticle-based
therapies could be improved by generating radioactive
nanoparticles with a convenient decay time and which
simultaneously have the capability to be used for locally
confined heating. The core–shell morphology of such novel
nanoparticles presented in this work involves a
polysilico-tungstate molecule of the polyoxometalate family
as a precursor coating material, which transforms into an
amorphous tungsten oxide coating upon annealing of the FePt
core–shell nanoparticles. The content of tungsten atoms in
the nanoparticle shell is neutron activated using cold
neutrons at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRMII) neutron
facility and thereby transformed into the radioisotope
W-187. The sizeable natural abundance of $28\%$ for the
W-186 precursor isotope, a radiopharmaceutically
advantageous gamma–beta ratio of View the MathML
$sourceγβ≈30\%$ and a range of approximately 1 mm in
biological tissue for the 1.3 MeV β-radiation are promising
features of the nanoparticles' potential for cancer therapy.
Moreover, a high temperature annealing treatment enhances
the magnetic moment of nanoparticles in such a way that a
magnetic heating effect of several degrees Celsius in liquid
suspension – a prerequisite for hyperthermia treatment of
cancer – was observed. A rise in temperature of
approximately 3 °C in aqueous suspension is shown for a
moderate nanoparticle concentration of 0.5 mg/ml after 15
min in an 831 kHz high-frequency alternating magnetic field
of 250 Gauss field strength (25 mT). The biocompatibility
based on a low cytotoxicity in the non-neutron-activated
state in combination with the hydrophilic nature of the
tungsten oxide shell makes the coated magnetic FePt
nanoparticles ideal candidates for advanced
radiopharmaceutical applications.},
