Bone-targeting carbon dots: effect of nitrogen-doping on binding affinity

Abstract: Fluorescent carbon dots selectively bind to skull tissues with high affinity, including a strong binding activity for calcium deficient hydroxyapatite, and rat femur, for bone targeted imaging.

“…The spectrum was fitted with a spin-orbit doublet, where the P 2p 3/2 peak is centered at the BE of 133.2 eV, while the separation of the P 2p 1/2 component is shifted by only 0.9 eV. Results are consistent with already published data [33,35,63].…”

“…The XPS spectra around N 1 s , C 1 s , P 2 p , and, O 1 s core-levels, measured on the alendronate-modified implant demonstrate the successful bonding of alendronate molecules to the implant surface. First of all, the best fit of the photoemission around C 1 s levels, shown in Figure 3 c, requires five fitting components, related to the characteristic bonds in the alendronate molecule, namely the aliphatic C–C, C–N, and P–C–O bonds at BEs of 285.0 eV, 286.0 eV, and 286.8 eV, respectively [ 63 , 64 ]. Additional C=O and O–C=O bonds can be assigned to surface contaminations.…”

“…Alendronate‐based C‐dots have exhibited strong binding activity towards in vitro calcium‐deficient HA (the mineral component of bones), ex vivo rat femur and in vivo live zebrafish bone structures (Figure C1). The high affinity of C‐dots towards bone tissue was attributed to the residual bisphosphonate groups present on the C‐dots surface after carbonization; once the bisphosphonate functionality was blocked, the affinity towards bone was significantly decreased (Figure C2) …”

“…Additionally, carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from alendronate have strong binding activity for calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite. 166 Alendronate-based CDs (Alen-CDs) showed enhanced bone targeting in the bone structures of zebrafish and rat femurs compared to nitrogen-doped CDs using ethylenediamine (Alen-EDA-CDs). These results were attributed to the bisphosphonate group on the surface of the CDs even after carbonization.…”
