β-Cyclodextrin conjugated magnetic nanoparticles for diazepam removal from blood

Abstract

β-CD conjugated magnetic nanoparticles that serve as a hemoadsorbent for diazepam removal are fabricated. The diazepam is arrested by the conjugated β-CD and then the adsorbed diazepam is efficiently removed by an external magnetic field. These particles have potential applications in hemoperfusion or separation of other toxins and drugs.
