A highly efficient drug vector for photodynamic therapy (PDT) drug delivery was developed by synthesizing PEGylated gold nanoparticle conjugates, which act as a water-soluble and biocompatible "cage" that allows delivery of a hydrophobic drug to its site of PDT action. The dynamics of drug release in vitro in a two-phase solution system and in vivo in cancer-bearing mice indicates that the process of drug delivery is highly efficient, and passive targeting prefers the tumor site. With the Au NP-Pc 4 conjugates, the drug delivery time required for PDT has been greatly reduced to less than 2 h, compared to 2 days for the free drug.
通过合成聚乙二醇化金纳米颗粒缀合物,开发了一种用于光动力疗法(PDT)药物递送的高效药物载体,该缀合物充当水溶性和生物相容性的“笼子”,可将疏水性药物递送至其PDT作用部位。在两相溶液系统中的体外和荷瘤小鼠体内的药物释放动力学表明,药物递送过程高效,且被动靶向优先作用于肿瘤部位。使用金纳米颗粒-叶绿素a 4缀合物时,PDT所需的药物递送时间已大幅缩短至不到2小时,而游离药物则需要2天。
