Modeling of Magnetite Nanoparticles Behavior under Conditions of Microcirculation and Analysis of In Vivo Toxicity

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2016 May;161(1):116-9. doi: 10.1007/s10517-016-3359-5. Epub 2016 Jun 6.

Abstract

The behavior of magnetite nanoparticles was studied in the cell chip microcapillaries. No aggregation of magnetite nanoparticles under conditions of long-term circulation was noted. Biodistribution and toxicity of magnetite nanoparticles (14 nm) and aminated magnetite after their intragastric administration to mice were studied in vivo. According to mass spectrometry and microscopy data, accumulation of nanoparticles occurred mainly in the liver cells.

Keywords: in vivo toxicity; magnetite nanoparticles; microcapillary; simulation.
