High coating of Ru(II) complexes on gold nanoparticles for single particle luminescence imaging in cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold nanoparticles are efficiently labelled with a luminescent ruthenium complex, producing 13 and 100 nm diameter, monodisperse red-emissive imaging probes with luminescence lifetimes prolonged over the molecular unit. Single, 100 nm particles are observed in whole cell luminescence imaging which reveals their biomolecular association with chromatin in the nucleus of cancer cells.

A 5-(difluorenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline-based Ru(II) complex as a coating agent for potential multifunctional gold nanoparticles.
The synthesis and photophysical properties of small gold nanoparticles (NPs, AuNP-[Ru-PFF]) surface functionalized by 5-substituted-1,10-phenanthroline-ligand based Ru(II) complexes are described. Luminescence of the grafted and confined Ru(II) complexes is totally quenched on the gold surface. Nonlinear optical properties were determined via Z-scan measurements in the range 600-1300 nm for bot...
متن کاملEffect of Peptide Derived from Scorpion Toxin on Enhanced Permeability of Doxorubicin Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles in HeLa and MDA-MB-231 Cells
Background: Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter a cell through the cell membrane, and used in the fields of drug delivery, gene therapy, and cancer therapy by their property transporting various molecules into cytoplasm. Gold nanospheres (GNSs) are a useful tool for molecular imaging, because they are not cytotoxic and have high solubility, excellent light scattering property and ease of...

Introduction: Head-and-neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with the number of cases consistently increasing in developing countries. Successful development of effective, safe and cost effective nanoprobes for head-and-neck cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop cysteamine-folate conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-Cys-AuNPs) a...
متن کاملOptimization of gold nanoparticle photoluminescence by alkanethiolation.
Surface thiolation affects the size of gold nanoparticles and the presence of visible luminescence under UV stimulation. We explored these phenomena by analysing alkanethiolate coatings with different carbon chain lengths, from 3-mercaptopropionic acid to 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid, synthesized by intense X-ray irradiation. Photoluminescence is present for the smallest nanoparticles, but its ...
