Self-regulating temperature hyperthermia based on magnetic fluid with low Curie temperature is a moderately effective method for cancer treatment. The improvement of the properties of magnetic fluids is the key for application of this method. In this paper, Bi-doped LSMO magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using a simple sol–gel method and coated by hyaluronic acid through high energy ball milling for their possible application in self-regulating temperature hyperthermia. The crystal structure, morphology, basic magnetic properties and heating properties of these nanoparticles in a high frequency magnetic field were investigated. It was found that the hyaluronic acid-coated La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Bi[Formula: see text]MnO3 magnetic nanoparticles, with an average particle diameter of [Formula: see text]100[Formula: see text]nm and a Curie temperature of 48∘C, possess outstanding induction heating properties. The saturation heating temperature, specific absorption rate and effective specific absorption rate are 48∘C, 117[Formula: see text]W/g and 0.27[Formula: see text]W/g[Formula: see text]kHz[Formula: see text](kA/m2), respectively.
