The particle further includes a coated magnetic field-responsive agent and a biomaterial. Methods of making the particle are provided. Also provided are methods of delivery of the biomaterial to a target cell or a target tissue including administering the particle having the matrix-forming agent, polyelectrolyte-amphiphilic agent adduct, the coated magnetic field-responsive agent and the biomaterial; providing a magnetic device associated with the target cell or the target tissue; applying a magnetic force to the particle; and guiding the particle toward the magnetic device by the magnetic force.
摘要:
A therapeutic system and a method that uses stents, and/or other implantable devices (104) for local delivery of a therapeutic agent is disclosed. A therapeutic formulation (102) may include particles of a biocompatible magnetic or magnetizable material that carry the therapeutic agent, or magnetically responsive cells. The therapeutic formulation (102) is intravenously administered to a mammalian subject. A portion of the formulation (102) is delivered to the proximity of a device (104) implanted in the vascular system of the subject by externally generating a magnetic field gradient (106) on the implantable device (104). The portion of the therapeutic formulation (102) not delivered to the proximity of the implantable device (104) is removed from the vascular system. The method allows for the repeated administration of the same or different therapeutic agent, and further, has the option of locally injecting, or alternatively, peripherally administering, the therapeutic agent.

A treatment system includes a magnetic targeting catheter and a plurality of MNP. The MNP may include one or more magnetic field-responsive agents and one or more therapeutic agents. The catheter may include an inner shaft having at least one lumen and a fluid delivery balloon adapted to administer a fluid from the inner shaft into a space surrounding the catheter. An expandable mesh formed of a magnetizable material may surround the fluid delivery balloon. The catheter may further include one or more occlusion balloons for controlling blood flow through a vessel in which the catheter is placed. A method of treating a medical condition may include advancing a magnetic targeting catheter to a site, deploying an expandable mesh connected to the catheter, applying a magnetic field to the mesh and depositing a plurality of MNP or cells loaded with MNP near the mesh.
