Rapid Sonochemical Synthesis of Luminescent and Paramagnetic Copper Nanoclusters for Bimodal Bioimaging

Abstract: Herein, luminescent and magnetic copper nanoclusters (CuNCs)a re synthesized by ao ne-pot sonochemical route using glutathione (GSH) as ar educing and stabilizing agent.T he resultant CuNCs show red fluorescence and paramagnetic properties at room temperature. In addition, the as-prepared GSH-CuNCs are water-soluble, exhibit low toxicity,a nd have multifunctional surface chemistry due to the GSH protective layer.F olic acid (FA) was covalently anchored to the GSH-CuNCs, and the nanoprobes were used for highly … Show more

“…As same as our previous research, in this process, Na 2 MoO 4 ⋅2H 2 O could be reduced with GSH for its various functional groups, including carboxyl, amino and thiol groups . This reducing ability of GSH has been proved in previously reported nanomaterials ,. Moreover, GSH could worked as surface passivation agent and provided amino functional species for resultant MoS 2 QDs.…”

“…Based on previous reports, glutathione (GSH) can be simultaneously worked as reducing agent and scaffold, due to their several functional groups such as thiol, carboxyl and amino. 43 Therefore, GSH is selected as the ligand, and the corresponding synthesis process of GSH-protected CuNCs is shown in Fig. 1.…”

“…Finally, Cu NCs have potential to be used for different imaging modalities in vivo upon appropriate modification. For instance, by using a one‐pot sonochemical route in which glutathione is used as both a reducing agent and a stabilizer, luminescent and magnetic Cu NCs can be generated for bimodal MRI/fluorescence imaging of cancer cells . Recently, ultrasmall chelator‐free radioactive 64 Cu‐incorporated Cu NCs can also be produced by using BSA, in the form of a conjugate with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), as a scaffold .…”
