Abstract:Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have promising applications in the¯elds of drug delivery and photothermal therapy. 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) is a kind of highly selective mitochondrial ATP sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channel blocker. In this research,¯rstly, 5-HD was studied whether it could induce human lung adenocarcinomas (A549) cells apoptosis; secondly, PEGylated gold nanoparticles loaded with 5-HD (Au NPs-PEG-5-HD) were prepared to develop a new chemotherapy and photothermal therapy in one system under th… Show more
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.
