“…Thus,t he changes in the fluorescence emission allow the in situ monitoring of microenvironmental pH values,w hich is especially useful in the field of biology and medicine for the precise development of nanomedicine,f or example,f or the treatment of (benign/malignant) cancer diseases.B yl oading pharmaceutical active molecules into pH-responsive nanoparticles,t hese entities are exclusively released upon uptake of diseased cells within the range of suitable pH values.T hus,i nc ontrast to conventional nanomedicines without pH-responsive properties,t he selectivity, sensitivity,a nd efficiencyo ft he active compounds were improved, while simultaneously unwanted cellular cytoxicity and side effects may be reduced. [98][99][100][101][102] Similarly,aminobromomaleimide (ABM) has been incorporated into particle cores as fluorophore to probe the core hydrophobicity. [103] Thep articles were synthesized via emulsion copolymerization of ah ydrophilic shell-forming monomer (oligoethylene glycol methacrylate,O EGMA), ah ydrophobic core-forming segment (N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate,D EAEMA), and the respective fluorescent ABM monomer,represented in Figure 10 A.…”
