As a result the interaction of these nanocomposites with cells is of vital importance in understanding their behaviour and biocompatibility. Here we report the preparation characterisation and potential application of new two-in-one magnetic fluorescent nanocomposites composed of silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles covalently linked to a porphyrin moiety. Method The experiments were performed by administering porphyrin functionalised silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to THP-1 cells a human acute monocytic leukaemia cell line. Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 25 mM HEPES supplemented with heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum FBS . Results We have synthesised characterised and analysed in vitro a new multimodal magnetic and fluorescent porphyrin magnetic nanoparticle composite PMNC . Initial co-incubation experiments performed with THP-1 macrophage cells were promising however the PMNC photobleached under confocal microscopy study. P-mercaptoethanol P-ME was employed to counteract this problem and resulted not only in enhanced fluorescence emission but also allowed for elongated imaging and increased exposure times of the PMNC in a cellular environment. Conclusion Our experiments have demonstrated that P-ME visibly enhances the emission intensity. No deleterious effects to the cells were witnessed upon co-incubation with P-ME alone and no increases in background fluorescence were recorded. These results should present
