Abstract : Billions of dollars are spent annually in the world to treat and investigate problems caused by drug side effects. According to the estimation of health researchers, a huge part of people who take medicine suffer from complications caused by it. In this way, the necessity of using a targeted system in order to deliver medicine to the targeted place without damaging healthy tissues is felt more than before. In recent years, targeted drug delivery systems based on nanoparticles have received much attention. In the same direction, in this research, co-precipitation method was used to prepare magnetic nanoparticles using iron(|) and iron(||) oxides, and further, according to the synthesis steps of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and the mechanism of formation and identification of magnetite nanoparticles ( Fe3O4) by examining the infrared pattern (FT-IR) obtained from Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the results of the magnetometric test (VSM) of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) images obtained from Fe3O4 nanoparticles was discussed. After this stage, silica- coated iron nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2) were prepared, and the infrared (FT-IR) pattern of Fe3O4@SiO2) was also investigated. It is worth mentioning that the mechanism of formation and identification of magnetic silica-coated iron nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2) has been described in detail. Therefore, the obtained results indicate that the drug can be guided in a controlled and targeted manner by the magnetic field, and the results of the FE-SEM images show that the obtained product has a spherical morphology and the particle size distribution was less than 100 nm. Therefore, spherical shape and the symmetry of these particles can be helpful for their movement in the liquid mediu.
