چکیده

We present a one-photon visible light-responsive micellar system for efficient, on-demand delivery of small molecules. Release is mediated by a novel class of photochromic material - donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs). We demonstrate controlled delivery of small molecules such as the chemotherapeutic agent (paclitaxel) to human breast cancer cells triggered by micellar switching with low intensity, visible light.

Photo, pH, and thermo triple-responsive spiropyran-based copolymer nanoparticles for controlled release.

A spiropyran-based amphiphilic random copolymer was synthesized and self-assembled into photo-, pH-, and thermo-responsive micellar nanoparticles. The triple-stimuli triggered morphological changes of the nanoparticles were revealed by TEM and DLS. Highly efficient controlled release of encapsulated molecules, coumarin 102, from the nanoparticles under stimulation of UV light, acid and the comb...

State of the art of stimuli-responsive liposomes for cancer therapy

Specific delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors and their bioavailability at the target site are the most clinically important and challenging goals in cancer therapy. Liposomes are promising nanocarriers and have been well investigated for cancer therapy. In spite of preferred accumulation in tumors via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, inefficient drug release at t...
