Abstract

Specially customized magnetic nanoparticles can be used as biocompatible carriers for chemotherapeutical agents. An external magnetic field with a well defined field gradient is able to move these particle-drug-complexes to the anatomical area of interest. Thus the drug-dose which is necessary for successful tumor remission can be reduced - less side effects are the consequence. The aim of this project is to optimize the technical and physical parameters concerning magnetostatics und fluidics.
