We synthesized ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIONs) with tripod
morphology and studied the effect of the aspect ratio (AR) of the tripod arms on
mass magnetization, T2 relaxation and cytocompatibility in human cell lines. Materials
& methods: Tripods were prepared by controlling the temperature during the
thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5, and their magnetic properties were characterized
by superconducting quantum interference device, and NMR. Citric acid stabilized
USPIONs were used to assess cytocompatibility. Results: T2 relaxivity of tripods showed
dependency on AR of the tripod arm. Liver enzyme levels in presence of tripods
were comparable to spherical USPIONs, and surprisingly tripods induced lower levels
of reactive oxygen species. Conclusion: Tripod USPIONs with high AR arms possess
excellent magnetic properties and cytocompatibility for further exploration as MRI
contrast agents.
