The invention relates to the technical field of production of nano composite materials, in particular to space heterostructure ferrite nano particles with a
hepatocyte targeting function and a preparation method of the space heterostructure ferrite nano particles. According to the nanoparticles, a core layer and a shell layer are doped with
metal elements in a gradient manner, and a ligand layer with a
hepatocyte targeting function is modified, so that a physical-chemical three-layer composite
system with a spatial heterostructure is formed. According to the
magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent prepared on the basis of the spatial heterogeneous distribution of gradient
doping of the
ferrite nanoparticles by regulating and controlling the types and concentrations of
doping elements, the enrichment effect and the local recognition capability in a liver region can be remarkably enhanced, the
relaxation rate of the
ferrite nanoparticles is effectively increased, and the
magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent has a good application prospect. The
contrast ratio, the imaging speed and the effective imaging time window of living liver and
gall imaging are optimized, and meanwhile, the
biocompatibility and the metabolic performance of the material are improved.
