Promising material for hybrid photodynamic therapy consisting of Ce0.5Y0.35Tb0.15F3 crystalline nanoparticles and Radachlorin is reported. One possible option of conjugation of Ce0.5Y0.35Tb0.15F3 nanoparticles and Radachlorin using polyethylenimine (PEI) is tested. The energy transfer reaches 28%. It is shown that conjugates of CeF3—Tb3+ NPs and Radachlorin using PEI—are stable, and the distance between nanoparticles and photosensitizer molecules is about 5 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
