Plot of de-colorization at room temperature, 37°C, and AMF exposure of 15 minutes (n=3) and 25 minutes (n=4) plus a 5 minute preheat at 37°C. Iron oxide nanoparticles concentration was 100μg/ml.

Plot of de-colorization at room temperature, 37°C, and AMF exposure of 15 minutes (n=5) and 25 minutes (n=3) plus a 5 minute preheat at 37°C. Iron oxide nanoparticles concentration was 75μg/ml. Error reported as propagation of standard deviation. Figure 4. Plot of average temperature versus time for AMF exposure of 15 and 25 minutes. Conclusions: o Samples exposed to AMF experience increased ROS production o Small error implies consistency with absorbance measurements o Temperature heated to 37-38°C Due to their unique physical properties, magnetic nanoparticles are being studied for a great range of biomedical applications such as diagnostic imaging, drug delivery, and thermal therapy of cancer [1-4]. Today, iron oxide is one of the most widely studied magnetic nanoparticle systems. Furthermore, the ability of magnetic nanoparticles to be heated remotely by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) is of particular interest because it can be utilized to overcome the barriers of traditional hyperthermia and magnetic fluid hyperthermia methods [5-6]. Through Brownian relaxation and Neel relaxation, magnetic nanoparticles absorb energy from the AMF and convert it to heat [7]. Thus, via passive targeting, nanoparticles can collect at the tumor site and by the application of the AMF provide localized heating throughout the tumor. In magnetic fluid hyperthermia, treatment effectiveness is limited to solid tumors via direct injection due to the high concentration of magnetic nanoparticles necessary to induce localized heating of tissue. Recent work by Creixell et al. has demonstrated that internalized targeted nanoparticles can induce cellular death when exposed to an AMF without a measurable temperature rise, therefore stimulating great interest to develop targeted nanoparticles for the treatment of metastatic cancer via intracellular hyperthermia [8]. Moreover, it has been shown that when the solution temperature does not rise, the magnetic nanoparticle surface still undergoes a significant increase in temperature when exposed to an AMF [9]. Currently, it is unclear as to if this explains the toxicity of intracellular hyperthermia or if other phenomena are contributing. At the molecular level, it is thought that a significant contributing factor to the iron-oxide toxicity is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the Fenton and Haber Weiss reactions. Fenton chemistry has been shown to be temperature dependent with an increase in activity up to 40°C—beyond this temperature the hydrogen peroxide degrades into oxygen and water limiting the reaction. [10] This research, in turn, focuses on the effects of an AMF on the surface mediated production of ROS based on the hypothesis that these effects are a key contributor to the toxicity demonstrated as intracellular hyperthermia.

• Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions
o As radicals form, they oxidize methylene blue transforming the dye from blue to clear
o Color change monitored with UV-vis spectroscopy, specifically studying the peak at 665 nm
o At/Ao is the absorbance at time t divided by the absorbance of the sample without H2O2 at t = 0
