Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of a near-IR fluorescent corrole-TiO2 nanoconjugate.
We are investigating the biological and biomedical imaging roles and impacts of fluorescent metallocorrole-TiO2 nanoconjugates as potential near-infrared optical contrast agents in vitro in cancer and normal cell lines. The TiO2 nanoconjugate labeled with the small molecule 2,17-bis(chlorosulfonyl)-5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrolato aluminum(III) (1-Al-TiO2) was prepared. The nanoparticle...
متن کاملZnO nanofluids for the improved cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of doxorubicin
Objective(s): Combination anticancer therapy holds promise for improving the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin (DOX) as well as decreasing their dose-limiting side effects. Overcoming the side effects of doxorubicin (DOX) is a major challenge to the effective treatment of cancer. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are emerging as potent tools for a wide variety of b...
متن کاملCellular uptake of a fluorescent vanadyl sulfonylcalix[4]arene.
Vanadyl bearing calix[4]arene ligands have undergone evaluation against several cell lines, and show varying degrees of toxicity. For vanadyl complexed to a sulfonylcalix[4]arene, monitoring of the strong blue fluorescence revealed slow uptake kinetics. The complex is exclusively found in the cytoplasm of the cells and uptake is not due to active endocytotic mechanisms.
متن کاملRequirement of a conservative cytotoxicity assay selection in cellular experiments
Assessment of the cellular effects of natural and/or synthetic products is one of the major goals in biological experiments. This assessment may be conducted at different levels; cellular viability, cellular biological activity, and cellular structure and morphology. Different assays are available for any of above purposes. It is becoming of a routine exercise to apply any of these assays, and ...
متن کاملCarbohydrate functionalization of silver nanoparticles modulates cytotoxicity and cellular uptake
BACKGROUND Increasing use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in various products is resulting in a greater likelihood of human exposure to these materials. Nevertheless, little is still known about the influence of carbohydrates on the toxicity and cellular uptake of nanoparticles. METHODS Ag-NPs functionalized with three different monosaccharides and ethylene glycol were synthesized and charac...
