Magnetic nanoparticles: Advantages of using, methods for preparation, characterization, application in pharmacy

Aspects of the development of nanotechnology in pharmacy using magnetic nanoparticles of ferrite materials were considered. Interest in these objects, as well as fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, is explained by the potential use of magnetic nanoparticles in catalysis, biomedicine, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic separation and visualization, and hyperthermia of malignant neoplasms. The general characterization of oxide magnetic materials is given in the context of the feasibility of their use in magnetic drug delivery systems. The known synthetic methods for magnetic nanoparticles are systematized. Taking into account the initial stage of development of this direction, the actual material on the development of synthesis conditions, methods for the analysis of magnetic nanoparticles, and drug delivery systems as a whole is of scientific and practical interest.
