Synthesis of disulfide-based biodegradable bridged silsesquioxane nanoparticles for two-photon imaging and therapy of cancer cells

Abstract: Biodegradable bridged silsesquioxane (BS) nanomaterials for two-photon-excited (TPE) imaging and therapy of breast cancer cells were described. A versatile synthesis was developed to design monodisperse tetra-alkoxysilylated diamino-diphenylbutadiene or Zn-porphyrin-based nanospheres of 30 to 50 nm.

“…The degraded products of biodegradable nanoparticles (NPs) should also to be biocompatible. Biodegradable nanomaterials include various polymer, [6] liposome, [12,13] silicon, [14,15] organically-doped silica, [2,3,5] and calcium phosphate nanosystems. [16,17] In addition, nano-objects of hydrodynamic diameter (HD) below 10 nm are excreted by the body via the renal clearance route which prevents the toxicity associated with the bio-accumulation of particles.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The absence of particle biodegradability prevents almost always the approval of the food and drug administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies to enter the pharmaceutical market. Non-degradable nanomaterials are indeed raising concerns of toxicity due to their uncontrolled bio-accumulation.…”

“…Durand et al. developed a versatile process to design monodisperse tetra‐alkoxysilylated diamino‐diphenylbutadiene or porphyrin photosensitizer‐based SSQ nanospheres, 30 to 50 nm in size . In addition, one type of photosensitizer‐disulfide‐based biodegradable bridged SSQ nanomaterial was also fabricated for two‐photon‐excited imaging and the treatment of breast cancer cells.…”

“…14 Furthermore, researchers have indicated the use of breakable disulfide-based silsesquioxane nanoparticles for in vitro two-photon imaging and drug delivery to cancer cells. 1517 Vivero-Escoto et al have made degradable polysilsesquioxane nanoparticles using bis(trialkoxysilyl) derivatives of Gd(III) diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (Gd-DTPA) as efficient contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 18 Additionally, Omar et al have shown that degradable silica nanovectors can be synthesized using ultralarge pores spanning from 20 to 60 nm in diameter with high protein loading capacity.…”
