Quercetin (QCT) is a promising dose-dependent nutraceutical that usually suffers from poor water solubility and low bioavailability issues. In this work, a novel QCT-loaded nanoscale delivery system was constructed based on the oxidative self-polymerization of melanin (Q@MNPs). The FT-IR, XRD, and Zeta potential analyses confirmed that QCT was successfully absorbed on the melanin nanoparticles (MNPs) via Π−Π and hydrogen bonding interactions. The encapsulation efficiency and particle size of Q@MNPs were 43.78% and 26.68 nm, respectively. Q@MNPs improved the thermal stability of QCT and the antioxidant properties in comparison to MNPs. Meanwhile, Q@MNPs presented fantastic photothermal conversion capacity and stability triggered by the NIR laser, which significantly enhanced the antibacterial capability with a sterilization rate of more than 98% against E. coli and S. aureus. More importantly, Q@MNPs exhibited NIR/pH dual-responsive drug release behavior and good biocompatibility (at concentrations of < 100 μg/mL). Thus, Q@MNPs show promising prospects for flavonoid delivery.
