Folic acid based carbon dot functionalized stearic acid-g-polyethyleneimine amphiphilic nanomicelle: Targeted drug delivery and imaging for triple negative breast cancer

Development of an Efficient Immunosensing Platform by Exploring Single-Walled Carbon Nanohorns (SWCNHs) and Nitrogen Doped Graphene Quantum Dot (N-GQD) Nanocomposite for Early Detection of Cancer Biomarker

“…However, the serious health and environmental toxicity due to the heavy metal elements raise huge concerns regarding its practical utility . Therefore, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) compared to conventional quantum dots are a better option as a sensing platform due to their chemical inertness, high surface area, and biocompatibility. , …”

The fluorescence mechanism of carbon dots based on the separation and identification of small molecular fluorophores

“…This change is consistent with the change in QYs of the products. The liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) proved that the peak at 12.36 min was estimated to be 5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H- [1,3] thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-3,7-dicarboxylic acid (TPA)27 (Fig. S37 †).…”

“…Carbon dots(CDs) are nanoparticles with excellent luminescence properties and low toxicity, with many applications in biological imaging, [1][2][3][4] drug delivery, 3 photovoltaics, and catalysis, [5][6][7] To broaden the application range of CDs, researchers have developed a variety of preparation methods for CDs for many years. Among them, the bottom-up preparation method have been widely used thanks to their efficient synthesis of multifunctional CDs,including pyrolysis, 8 combustion, 9 hydrothermal synthesis, 10,11 and microwave synthesis.…”

“…Furthermore, the uorophore also explains the excitation dependence property of CDs. 25,26 Kasprzy 27 identied the uorophore TPA (5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5H- [1,3]thiazolo [3,2-a]pyridine-3,7-dicarboxylic acid)by separation from the hydrolysate of biodegradable photoluminescent polyester (BPLP) and NMR, and discovered origin of the luminescence characteristics of BPLP. Song 28 puried and isolated a bright blue uorophore IPCA(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid, 1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-5-oxo-) from synthetic CDs by chromatography in 2015 and identied its structure by NMR and proved that CDs contain complex components and multiple PL centers.…”

RAFT polymerization mediated core–shell supramolecular assembly of PEGMA-co-stearic acid block co-polymer for efficient anticancer drug delivery

“…However, wrapping the DOX by a nanostructure may restrict the accumulation within the normal cell with minimal damage as the drug release in the non-acidic media is very low. 52,53 Thus the DOX loaded nanoparticle shows its anticancer activity by damaging the organelle along with the membrane integrity of the cancer cell.…”
