Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with citric acid (MG@CA) are proposed as raw materials for the treatment of bone diseases. Citric acid (CA) was selected as coating due to its role in the stabilization of apatite nanocrystals and as a signaling agent for osteoblast activation. Raloxifene (Ral), curcumine (Cur) and methylene blue (MB) were employed as model drugs as therapeutic agents for bone diseases. Characterization of raw and drug loaded nanosystems was conducted in order to elucidate the mechanisms governing interactions between therapeutics and the magnetic platform. Biocompatibility studies were performed on red blood cells (RBCs) from peripheral human blood. Cytotoxicity was evaluated on endothelial cells (ECs); and viability was studied for bone cells exposed at concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 $\mu \text{g}$ /mL of the magnetic nano-platform. MG@CA exhibited proper physicochemical properties for the applications intended within this work. It presented satisfactory biocompatibility on peripheral red blood cells. Only doses of 100 $\mu \text{g}$ /mL induced a decrease in metabolic activity of ECs and MC3T3-E1 cells. Drug adsorption efficiency was estimated as 62.0, 15.0 and 54.0 % for Ral, Cur and MB and drug loading capability of 12.0, 20.0 and 13.6%, respectively. |
