Theranostic Agent Combining Fullerene Nanocrystals and Gold Nanoparticles for Photoacoustic Imaging and Photothermal Therapy

Abstract: Developing photoactivatable theranostic platforms with integrated functionalities of biocompatibility, targeting, imaging contrast, and therapy is a promising approach for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Here, we report a theranostic agent based on a hybrid nanoparticle comprising fullerene nanocrystals and gold nanoparticles (FGNPs) for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. Compared to gold nanoparticles and fullerene crystals, FGNPs exhibited stronger photoacoustic signals and photothermal heating ch… Show more

“…[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] In the present study, we used pullulan (Pul), conventional water-solubilizer, as a control host molecule. [28,31,33,[36][37] The solubility of polyphenols was confirmed by measuring the UV-Vis absorption spectra of resulting dispersions (Figure 2a). All biopolymers were able to form water-dispersible inclusion complexes with Res (Figure 2a, solid line) and Cur (Figure 2a, dashed line).…”

“…(3) The third group is similar to the second group, except that they respond to external stimuli such as a magnetic field or IR. For example, nanoshells and nanorods with maximum infrared absorption and efficient light conversion into thermal energy are used in thermal ablation therapy. …”

“…The diagnostic method, bioimaging, is connected with the penetration of drugs and diagnostic agents into tissues and cells and the sensitivity of detection. Bioimaging is controlled by biodegradability, biocompatibility, specificity, and applicability for carbon nanotubes [68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81], graphene [82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94], fullerenes [95], and dots [96].…”
