Robust ICG Theranostic Nanoparticles for Folate Targeted Cancer Imaging and Highly Effective Photothermal Therapy

Abstract: Folic acid (FA)-targeted indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) (FA-INPs) were developed to a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence theranostic nanoprobe for targeted imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer. The FA-INPs with good monodispersity exhibited excellent size and fluorescence stability, preferable temperature response under laser irradiation, and specific molecular targeting to MCF-7 cells with FA receptor overexpression, compared to free ICG. The FA-INPs enabled NIR fluorescence imaging to… Show more

“…Indocyanine dyes having an absorbance in NIR range around 800 nm have been widely used as photothermal agents. The most commonly used Indocyanine dye is the Indocyanine Green (ICG) which has been explored for multimodal imaging and photothermal agent [20][21][22][23]. The poor aqueous solubility, short half-life and photobleaching properties of ICG limit its use as a good photothermal agent.…”

“…To overcome these limitations, many nanocomplexes, such as micelles self-assembled from amphiphilic polymers, containing NIR dyes have therefore been developed as photothermal nano-agents for cancer treatment. For example, ICG-containing nanostructures self-assembled with phospholipidpolyethylene glycol (PL-PEG) showed much better stability than free ICG [24,48,49]. Irradiation of tumors by an 808-nm laser after intravenous (i.v.)…”
