Introduction: This study explored the possibility of utilizing iron<br />

oxide nanoparticles as a 177Lu delivery vehicle under an external<br />

magnetic field. In this study the biodistribution of 177Lu-iron oxide<br />

nanoparticles in mice with and without of an external magnetic field<br />

was considered.<br />

Material and methods: 177Lu-iron oxide nanoparticles were<br />

synthesized and all the quality control tests was performed. For the<br />

biodistribution study, female mice(n=24) were used. Before injection<br />

of 177Lu-iron oxide nanoparticles, an external magnetic field<br />

(magnetic flux density of 0.6 T) was positioned on the right feet of<br />

the mice, and it would persist in existence for 72 h. The mice were<br />

killed at 24, 48 and 72 h post-administration, tissues were removed<br />

and considered for 177Lu activities and iron concentration. This<br />

procedure was repeated without external magnetic field.<br />

Results: Comparison of the biodistribution results showed that<br />

177Lu-iron oxide nanoparticles accumulated in the right feet of the<br />

mice more than other organs under the external magnetic field. The<br />

results indicated that the distribution of 177Lu-iron oxide<br />

nanoparticles was different with and without using magnetic field.<br />

Conclusion: The good biodistribution results accented that 177Luiron<br />

oxide nanoparticles may be considered for further evaluation as<br />

a new radiopharmaceutical agent for targeted cancer therapy that<br />

needs more investigations.<br />
