Nuclear science and magnetic carbon: a promising way from a chemical method to detect and fight cancer and tumors/neoplasms (2023)

Developing MAGUS®

Taking this scenario into consideration we have been working on the use of magnetic carbon/graphite to deliver different compounds to fight many diseases. We know that the development of a new and efficient drug delivery system is as important as the discovery of a novel active molecule. Thus, based on nanostructured magnetic carbon/graphite we have built a drug delivery system named MAGUS®, which is an acronym for Magnetic Graphite Universal System. We have assembled this innovative and promising system as a biosensor composed of a biocompatible carbon particle functionalized with different molecules simultaneously. We reported how to obtain this magnetic carbon/graphite in 2005 and 2006 [5,6] by following an inexpensive chemical route consisting of a controlled chemical etching on the graphite structure, performed by a redox reaction in a closed system between pure carbon/graphite and copper oxide (CuO). It allows getting macroscopic amounts of magnetic carbon/graphite stable at room temperature and even above. X-ray diffraction measurements suggest that magnetic carbon/graphite could be represented by the coexistence of a matrix of pristine graphite and a foamy-like carbon/graphitic structure compressed along the c-axis. At T = 300 K, the saturation magnetic moment, the coercive field, and the remnant magnetization are 0.25 emu/g, 350 Oe, and 0.04 emu/g, respectively. Besides the phase transition at 300 K, it is possible to observe a low-temperature anomaly in the dependence of the zero-field-cooled magnetization in samples with an average granular size L of about 10nm. We have attributed it to the manifestation of the side effects below the quantum temperature TL∝ℏ2/L2. This behavior is well-fitted by a periodic function proportional to the bulk magnetization and the thermal De Broglie wavelength [7]. Related to that behavior, we have proposed a theoretical interpretation for both intragranular and intergranular contributions based, respectively, on super-exchange interaction between defects-induced localized spins in a single grain and proximity-mediated interaction between grains through the barriers created by thin layers of non-magnetic carbon/graphite [7]. In 2015, we experimentally confirmed that magnetism in carbon/graphite originates from defects in the structure (and not from ferromagnetic impurities of any type) from direct measurement of the local magnetic field using Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) associated with the numerical results obtained from DFT (Density-Functional Theory) calculations. These experiments allowed us, for the first time, to directly evaluate the local hyperfine magnetic field in magnetic carbon/graphite samples corroborating the intrinsic and true nature of the magnetism. A comparison of the experimental hyperfine fields to DFT calculations showed reasonable agreement, supporting the view that magnetism originates from various defects in the material structure [8,9].

Developing MAGUS® associated to a conventional drug (Ibuprofen®)

We have verified the efficiency of this new drug delivery system by developing a magnetic bio-hybrid system from the assembly of the biopolymer alginate and magnetic carbon/graphite [9]. In this case, we have nanostructured the magnetic carbon/graphite particles as a nanofluid [10,11]. The drug Ibuprofen® (IBU) intercalated in a Mg–Al Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) was chosen as a model of a drug delivery system to be incorporated as a third component of the magnetic bio-nanocomposite drug delivery system. The IBU was incorporated either as the pure drug or as the LDH–IBU intercalation compound and processed as beads or films for application as drug release systems. The presence of magnetic carbon/graphite nanoparticles improved the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting bionanocomposites, decreasing the speed of drug delivery due to the protective effect as a physical barrier against water absorption into the beads. The control on the release rate was specially improved when the drug was incorporated as the LDH–IBU intercalation compound, this fact was attributed to the additional physical barrier afforded by the inorganic layered host solid. These bio-nanocomposite systems could be stimulated by an external magnetic field as well, enhancing the levels of the released IBU, which would be advantageous to modulate the dose of the released drug when required [12].

Developing MAGUS® associated with radioactive particles

Besides the work carrying IBU described previously, we have also verified the concept and well-functioning of this complex carrier system by using the nanostructured biocompatible magnetic carbon/graphite functionalized with different cancer antibodies focusing on the antigen-antibody interaction besides other molecules and materials. These targeting techniques include functionalizing the magnetic carbon/graphite with radioactive nanoparticles like Technetium-99m, Indium-11, and Iodine-131. These radioactive nanoparticles can be produced by either synthesizing the nanoparticles directly from the radioactive materials or by irradiating non-radioactive particles with neutrons or accelerated ions [13]. Following this principle, at the present time, we are functionalizing the nanostructured biocompatible magnetic carbon/graphite with both Iodone-131 radioactive particles and the corresponding cancer antibody for targeting cancer cells (Figure 1). This isotope decays with a physical half-life of 8 days to stable Xe-131. It releases radiation during the decay process by emitting beta particles and gamma. The beta particles travel about 2 mm in tissue, thereby ensuring local treatment of the cancer tumor by causing mutation and death in cells that it penetrates. For this reason, high doses of the isotope are sometimes less dangerous than low doses since they tend to kill normal tissues that would otherwise become cancerous because of the radiation. Thus, Iodine-131 is increasingly less employed in small doses in medical use but increasingly is used only in large and maximal treatment doses, as a way of killing targeted cancer tissues. Iodine-131 is given for therapeutic use since about 10% of its energy and radiation dose is via gamma radiation while the other 90% is the beta radiation mentioned before.

Developing MAGUS® associated with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)

Another promising application we are at present working on is based on MAGUS® associated with Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). This technique uses neutrons as the external source and is frequently used to treat specific tumors that are radio resistant or very difficult to kill using conventional radiation therapy [14].

It can be employed as a standalone radiation therapy or in combination with conventional radiotherapy methods. Some examples where it has proven to be very powerful and effective are in treating salivary gland tumors and certain forms of cancer, such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, inoperable/recurrent salivary gland malignancies resistant to standard low-LET radiotherapies and glioblastoma (high-grade glioma, GBM), a prevalent and aggressive brain tumor [15].

The BNCT uses Boron-containing drugs to deliver a natural isotope of the Boron-10 to tumors and while it is confined to tumors, as radionuclides tend to accumulate at the sites of tissue damage, a subsequent bombardment with neutrons provides an isotope of Lithium-7 and an alpha particle with a short range of action [13]. It means that the alpha particle deploys an amount of energy that is delivered in a high linear energy transfer (LET) due to its nature. In that case, their high energy will be delivered along their very brief pathway (<10 μm) conveying about 150 keV/μm. In other words, the dose is deposited inside a pathway that is the size of the diameter of a single cell [16].

Neutrons’ biological impact on cells is greater than other types of radiation. Since surprisingly they do not damage equally all cells, there are cases in which they can be more damaging to cancerous cells than to healthy cells surrounding cancer. Therefore, for the same amount of radiation, a lethal dose can be delivered to the cancer cells, while a sub-lethal dose is delivered to the healthy tissue reducing the chances of cell damage or death. Used thoroughly, this different impact can be an advantage in certain treatments. In general, neutron therapy shows high efficiency in the treatment of recurrent voluminous tumors of complex localization [16]. The approach we are working on for the BNCT application is based on functionalizing the nanostructured biocompatible magnetic carbon/graphite with Boron-10 (instead of Iodine-131) with the antibodies mentioned before. Then, we apply an external magnetic field to redirect the Boron-10 and employ the fast neutron dose more efficiently at the tumor, making it necessary for a lower dose to accomplish the same results. This is especially important for BNCT because fast neutron therapy is limited by high toxicity. And that is why we are providing once again to the system a double way to exclusively reach the target and not the healthy cells around increasing its efficiency and performance.

It is important to highlight that, by using both the interaction antigen-antibody and the guidance through an external magnetic field, we are affording our drug delivery system a double way to reach and act only the target, i.e., cancer and not the healthy cells around. Moreover, the target- specificity achieved by our delivery system MAGUS® comes from years of research of our group and represents a pioneering and effective way to treat cancer.
