	abstract = {<p>Monodispersed, superparamagnetic nickel cobaltite (NCO) nanoparticles were functionalized using mercaptopropionic acid (MPA). MPA conjugates with NCO forming a metal-carboxylate linkage, with the MPA-MPA interaction occurring via formation of disulfide bonds, leaving another carboxyl end free for additional conjugation. The cytotoxicity studies on NCO-MPA show cell viability of similar to 100\% up to a dosage of 40 mu g/mL on SiHa, MCF7, and B16F10 cell lines, and on mouse primary fibroblasts. Time-dependent cell viability studies done for a duration of 72 hours showed the cell lines{\textquoteright} viability up to 80\% for dosages as high as 80 mu g/mL. Negligible leaching (\&lt;5 ppm) of ionic Co or Ni was noted into the delivery medium. Upon subjecting the NCO-MPA dispersion (0.1 mg/mL) to radiofrequency absorption, the nanoparticles were heated to 75 degrees C within 2 minutes, suggesting its promise as a magnetic hyperthermia agent. Furthermore, the amino acid lysine and the drug cephalexin were successfully adducted to the NCO system, suggesting its potential for drug delivery. From the Clinical Editor: NCO-MPA nanopartciles were found to be promising magnetic hyperthermia agents, suggesting potential future clinical applications. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
