New magnetically controlled thrombolytic successfully passed preclinical testing

A new anti-thrombosis drug based on magnetite nanoparticles developed at ITMO University has been successfully tested on animals. Preclinical studies showed the drug's high efficacy and lack of side effects. Clot dissolution time of the new drug is 20 times shorter than traditional medications. The range of permissible concentrations is very high, and the minimum dose of the active substance required to achieve the effect was 100 times smaller than usual. The results are published in Applied Materials and Interfaces.
