Magnetic Driven Drug Delivery Technology May Offer Effective Treatment Approach for Parkinson's Disease, Diabetes, and Cancer

Magnetic driven drug delivery technology is a method by which magnetic drug carriers in the body are manipulated by external magnetic fields to reach the target area. Magnetic microspheres have gained wide attention because of its many varied applications, ranging from administering the medicine directly to pinpointing the exact drug location in a blood vessel for proper monitoring, to detecting leakages and assisting the entire diagnostic process. These magnetic particles can also be used as magnetic beads that are capable of releasing drugs into a vesicle through mutual attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles.

It is believed that magnetic driven drug delivery technology is useful in the prevention and treatment of various diseases such as heart diseases, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and cancer. According to the study, ‘Cancer statistics for adults aged 85 years and older, 2019’, published in ACS CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, in August 2019, in 2019, the projected number of cancer cases and deaths was 140,690 and 103,250 respectively, among adults aged 85 years and older in the U.S.

These medical applications make use of a magnetic field created by two independent magnetic resonance technologies, namely the strong and weak magnetic fields. The weak magnetic field generates a field that retains the magnetic particles in their spherical structure. On the other hand, the strong magnetic field causes the magnetic particles to lose their magnetic field.

The most commonly used magnetic drug delivery technologies are based on the concept of magnetic targeting. This concept is based on the fact that different magnetic particles have their own distinctive magnetic properties. Therefore, if we can exploit these properties to produce a magnetic field that is strong enough to induce a chemical reaction, then this will definitely yield a therapeutic effect. The most commonly used magnetic targeting agent is called HCT (High Curved Ceramic Capsules). This type of magnetic drug delivery system uses a highly effective ceramic plate, composed of iron oxide, to transfer the medicine into a patient's body.
