Abstract

Continuing our previous research work on a drug delivery system based on combined AC/DC magnetic fields, we have developed a prototype AC/DC magnetic syringe device for stimulation of drug release from drug carriers, with the options of injecting/removing drug carriers. The porous Fe3O4 carrier, in a dose-dependent manner, causes acute oxidative damage and reduces the viability of differentiated SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, indicating the necessity for its removal once it reaches the therapeutic concentration at the target tissue. The working mechanism of the device consists of three simple steps. First, direct injection of the drug adsorbed on the surface of a carrier via a needle inserted into the targeted area. The second step is stimulation of drug release using a combination of AC magnetic field (a coil magnetised needle with AC current) and permanent magnets (DC magnetic lens outside of the body), and the third step is removal of the drug carriers from the injected area after the completion of drug release by magnetising the tip of the needle with DC current. Removing the drug carriers allows us to avoid possible acute and long term side effects of the drug carriers in the patient's body, as well as any potential response of the body to the drug carriers.
