A folic acid conjugated silica–titania porous hollow nanosphere for improved topical photodynamic therapy

Abstract: The folic acid conjugated hollow nanosphere is used to encapsulate protoporphyrin IX and is utilized for photodynamic therapy. This system represents a 3.33 times higher photodynamic efficiency than previous protoporphyrin IX-based systems. The result proposes a new opportunity for effective photodynamic therapy of folate receptor positive tumor cells.

“…E-mail: jsjang@plaza.snu.ac.kr; Tel: +82 2 880 7069 † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: (1) SEM micrographs of characteristics such as hollow spaces and increased porosity. 28,29 Synergistic effects from the methods discussed so far can be achieved through a combination of controlling the templated structure, adding metal oxides, and introducing porosity. Although, there is few studies addressing the fabrication of hollow SiO 2 rod-like material or hollow TiO 2 bers, but there were drawbacks of complex experimental procedures and unevenly structured nal products.…”

“…One of the alternative approach is to use metal radionuclide including 68 Ga (t 1/2 = 68 min, β + = 89% and electron capture (EC) = 11%), which can be obtained easily from 68 Ge/ 68 Ga generator without the serve of cyclotron. 8 [20][21][22] .…”

“…PDT uses a photosensitizer (PS) that, internalized into a cancer cell, is stimulated by irradiation to trigger cell damage and death. PS is a light‐sensitive dye that is stimulated by a specific wavelength of light and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) . Excess ROS production can induce serious damage to malignant cells .…”
