Initially, magnetic nanoparticles (@Fe3O4) are synthesised by co-precipitation approach and functionalised with acrylic acid (AA), 3-butenoic acid (3BA) or allylamine (AL) as comonomers. The thermoresponsive polymer is grown by free radical polymerisation using N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) as monomer, N,N’-methylenbisacrylamide (BIS) as cross-linker, and 2,2’-azobis(2-methylpropionamidene) (V50) as initiator. We evaluate particle morphology by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size and surface charge by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Z-potential (ZP) measurements. These magnetically active pNIPAM@ nanoformulations are loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and oxaliplatin (OXA) to determine loading efficiency, drug content and release as well as the cytotoxicity against T-84 colon cancer cells. Our results show high biocompatibility of pNIPAM nanoformulations using human blood cells and cultured cells. Interestingly, the pNIPAM@Fe3O4-3BA þ 5FU nanoformulation significantly reduces the growth of T-84 cells (57% relative inhibition of proliferation). Indeed, pNIPAM-co-AL@Fe3O4-AA nanosystems produce a slight migration of HCT15 cells in suspension in the presence of an external magnetic field. Therefore, the obtained hybrid nanoparticles can be applied as a promising biocompatible nanoplatform for the delivery of 5FU and OXA in the improvement of colon cancer treatments.}, organization = {MINECO CTQ16-76311}, organization = {Atraccion de Talento fellowship from the Comunidad de Madrid 2018-T1/IND-10736}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía PI-0476-2016 PI-0102-2017}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III PI19/01478}, organization = {Ministerio de Educación, Ciencia y Deporte y Competitividad (Spain) FPU16_01716}, publisher = {Taylor y Francis LTD}, keywords = {PNIPAm}, keywords = {Nanosystems}, keywords = {Magnetic nanoparticle}, keywords = {Fluorouracil; oxaliplatin}, keywords = {Colon cancer}, keywords = {External magnetic field}, title = {Magnetically active pNIPAM nanosystems as temperature-sensitive biocompatible structures for controlled drug delivery}, doi = {10.1080/21691401.2020.1773488}, author = {García Pinel, Beatriz and Cabeza, Laura and Ortiz, Raúl and Prados Salazar, José Carlos and Melguizo Alonso, Consolación}, }
