The invention relates to the technical field of
magnetic particle imaging, in particular to a core-shell
nanoprobe and a preparation method and application thereof.The core-shell
nanoprobe comprises a
magnetic core and a
nanoshell which is located outside the
magnetic core and has a magnetic shielding response function, and the structure of the
nanoshell collapses under the
tumor microenvironment condition; the saturation
magnetization of the
magnetic core is greater than or equal to 50 emu / g, and the coercive force is less than or equal to 5 Oe; the saturation
magnetization of the nano shell is less than 50 emu / g, and the coercive force is more than 5 Oe. According to the core-shell
nanoprobe, through a unique magnetic core-shell structure design and
tumor microenvironment response characteristics, a magnetic shielding layer is formed by using a low-
signal nano shell with a response magnetic shielding function, and background
signal interference is inhibited. In a
tumor microenvironment, the shell structure of the core-shell nanoprobe collapses, the magnetic core is exposed, and a high
magnetic signal is released and generated, so that the
imaging signal-to-
noise ratio is remarkably improved. According to the invention, the
bottleneck that the traditional MPI probe is lighted in the whole course can be broken through, the tumor specificity is lighted and positioned, and the problems that the external background of the tumor is high, the
contrast ratio is poor, and tiny focuses are difficult to detect are solved.
