Results were compared to find an alternative as drug carries system. Data showed that binding amount of human serum albumin (HSA), globulin (Gib) and hemoglobin (Hb) found to be as 44, 21.2 and 32.6 mu g per 20 mg of GPTS modified SPIONs, respectively. The thermal behavior of the serum protein-Ir interaction on GPTS-SPIONs was also studied by using thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) technique and then the kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition were determined using Horowitz-Metzger method.
