چکیده
Well-dispersed mesoporous hollow silica-fullerene nanoparticles with particle sizes of ∼50 nm have been successfully prepared by incorporating fullerene molecules into the silica framework followed by a selective etching method. The fabricated fluorescent silica-fullerene composite with high porosity demonstrates excellent performance in combined chemo/photodynamic therapy.

A cationic surfactant assisted selective etching strategy to hollow mesoporous silica spheres.
Hollow mesoporous silica spheres have recently attracted increasing attention. However, effective synthesis of uniform hollow mesoporous spheres with controllable well-defined pore structures for fundamental research and practical applications has remained a significant challenge. In this work, a straightforward and effective "cationic surfactant assisted selective etching" synthetic strategy w...
متن کاملHollow Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (HMSNs) Synthesis and in vitro Evaluation of Cisplatin Delivery
Cisplatin continues to be a first line chemotherapy agent alone or in combination with other cytotoxic agents orradiotherapy. Dose-limiting side effects, intrinsic and acquired resistance are the main reasons for inventing and developing new ways of delivering cisplatin. Biocompatible hollow porous materials offer high void volume, shell porosity, low density and controllable size which make th...
متن کاملMultifunctional Gold-Mesoporous Silica Nanocomposites for Enhanced Two-Photon Imaging and Therapy of Cancer Cells
Three dimensional sub-micron resolution has made two-photon nanomedicine a very promising medical tool for cancer treatment since current techniques cause significant side effects for lack of spatial selectivity. Two-photon-excited (TPE) photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been achieved via mesoporous nanoscaffolds, but the efficiency of the treatment could still be improved. Herein, we demonstrate ...
متن کاملApplication of mesoporous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery to cancer cells
Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Chemotherapy is the most common method for cancer therapy which represent non-specific side effects on normal cells and tissues and drug resistance in cancer cells. There are two main mechanisms for Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) in cancer cells including: drug efflux pump and activation of anti-apoptotic pathways. Cancer chemotherapy disadvanta...
متن کاملRatiometric fluorescence and mesoporous structured imprinting nanoparticles for rapid and sensitive detection 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.
The present study reports the fabrication of mesoporous-structured ratiometric molecularly imprinted sensors using a combined surface-imprinted and ratiometric fluorescence method. The sensors were subsequently examined in the selective and sensitive determination of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). In the preparation of the ratiometric system, the reference dye CdTe quantum dots were embedded in si...
