Nitric oxide release triggered by two-photon excited photoluminescence of engineered nanomaterials.
A new strategy toward controllable release of NO for therapeutic purpose is described. Mn(2+)-doped ZnS quantum dots with NIR-II to visible upconversion properties were encapsulated by chitosan, with which photochemical NO precursors were conjugated to generate nanostructured materials capable of releasing NO under NIR-II irradiation.
متن کاملLight-controlled release of nitric oxide from solid polymer composite materials using visible and near infra-red light.
Photochemical Nitric oxide releasing composite materials (Photo-NORMs) were prepared using biocompatible polymers and the photochemical nitric oxide donor complex (CrONO). We have demonstrated nitric oxide (NO) release from the solid composites for extended (>30 hours) and controlled (20-100 pmoles s(-1)) durations after visible light irradiation. Quantitation of the efficiency of NO release fr...
متن کاملUpconverting Organic Dye Doped Core-Shell Nano-Composites for Dual-Modality NIR Imaging and Photo-Thermal Therapy
Nanotechnology approaches offer the potential for creating new optical imaging agents with unique properties that enable uses such as combined molecular imaging and photo-thermal therapy. Ideal preparations should fluoresce in the near-infrared (NIR) region to ensure maximal tissue penetration depth along with minimal scattering and light absorption. Due to their unique photophysical properties...
متن کاملA novel self-assembled sandwich nanomedicine for NIR-responsive release of NO.
A novel sandwich nanomedicine (GO-BNN6) for near-infrared (NIR) light responsive release of nitric oxide (NO) has been constructed by self-assembly of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and a NO donor BNN6 through the π-π stacking interaction. The GO-BNN6 nanomedicine has an extraordinarily high drug loading capacity (1.2 mg BNN6 per mg GO), good thermal stability, and high NIR responsiveness. The ...
متن کاملNIR photoresponsive crosslinked upconverting nanocarriers toward selective intracellular drug release.
An NIR-responsive mesoporous silica coated upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) conjugate is developed for controllable drug delivery and fluorescence imaging in living cells. In this work, antitumor drug doxorubicin (Dox) molecules are encapsulated within cross-linked photocaged mesoporous silica coated UCNPs. Upon 980 nm light irradiation, Dox could be selectively released through the photocleava...
