Enhanced Two-Photon Fluorescence Imaging and Therapy of Cancer Cells via Gold@Bridged Silsesquioxane Nanoparticles

Abstract: A two-photon photosensitizer with four triethoxysilyl groups is synthesized through the click reaction. This photosensitizer allows the design of bridged silsesquioxane (BS) nanoparticles through a sol-gel process; moreover, gold core BS shells or BS nanoparticles decorated with gold nanospheres are synthesized. An enhancement of the two-photon properties is noted with gold and the nanoparticles are efficient for two-photon imaging and two-photon photodynamic therapy of cancer cells.

“…Durand and co-workers introduced grafted chromophores directly in the silica nanoparticles and either incorporated Au NPs in the core or grafting them at the surface of the fluorescent silica (Figure 40). [465] Comparison between the different systems showed that the introduction of the Au NPs provided Figure 39. Synthesis of a photosensitizer doped silica shell on gold nanorods.…”

“…[454] Among the most investigated strategies is the use of core shell nanostructures with metal core and silica based shell, which provides also a good possibility of spacing control between the dyes and the metallic surface. [455][456][457][458][459][460][461][462][463][464][465] The dye can be either directly incorporated in the silica shell during the synthesis of post-grafted at the surface of the silica. M. A. Noginov used this configuration to generate core-shell structure functionalized at the surface by Oregon green 488 fluorophore encapsulated in the outer silica shell.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Nonetheless, it remains a challenge to control the kinetic in sol-gel processes, which generally lead to macroscaled nonporous BS functional materials. [10][11][12] Their design involves kinetically-controlled sol-gel processes of bis-or multiorganoalkoxysilanes which yield to hybrid materials with very high organic contents depending on the type of organic groups.…”

“…Additionally, cancer cells can become drug resistant after a prolonged treatement with a given drug. [5] As a result, the so-called nanomedicine has been an extensive research area aiming to design nanomaterials which could transport and deliver drugs, or other therapeutic agents, [6] selectively into tumors in order to decrease and preclude the side effects of chemotherapy, to decrease the dosage of drugs, and potentially transport several drugs to harness synergistic effects. [7,8] Drug delivery nanosystems capable of transporting multiple drugs are emerging for the treatment of cancers.…”
