研究目的
Developing photothermal agents with high stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) for precision phototheranostics, including photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy.
研究成果
The QDI-NPs exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency and excellent photostability, making them promising candidates for precision phototheranostics. They enable high-resolution photoacoustic imaging and efficient photothermal therapy of cancer in vivo, with proper clearance from the body and minimal biotoxicity.
研究不足
The study focuses on the development and initial testing of QDI-NPs, with further research needed to explore their long-term effects and potential for clinical applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of a water-soluble quaterrylenediimide (QDI) chromophore and its self-assembly into nanoparticles (QDI-NPs) in aqueous solution. The incorporation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) into the QDI core was used to enhance physiological stability and biocompatibility.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The QDI-NPs were tested in vitro and in vivo for their photothermal and photoacoustic properties, using cancer cell lines and tumor-bearing mice.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) for nanoparticle characterization, dynamic light scattering (DLS) for size measurement, and a standard cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay for cytotoxicity evaluation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The QDI-NPs were synthesized, characterized, and then tested for their photothermal and photoacoustic properties in vitro and in vivo. The photothermal therapy (PTT) efficacy was evaluated in tumor-bearing mice.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) was calculated, and the photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and PTT results were analyzed.
