In this work, highly monodispersed chemically disordered face centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) were assembled on graphene oxide (GO) surface to form FePt/GO nanocomposites via a simple polyol protocol. Conjugated with the biocompatible 6-arm polyethylene glycol-amine polymer, folic acid and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), the as-prepared nanocomposites exhibit high stability in physiological solutions, targeted delivery to folate receptor-positive cancer cells and dual-modal visualization of cellular uptake by fluorescence (FITC) and magnetic resonance imaging. As pH-sensitive agents, the fccFePt NPs display high cytotoxicity because of the generation of highly reactive oxygen species within cancer cells. Due to their targeting, diagnostic and therapeutic functions, the FePt/GO nanocomposites are therefore promising for potential theranostic applications in cancer treatment.
