چکیده

In recent years, fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have attracted a great deal of attention in imaging and related biomedical applications due to their excellent photoluminescence properties, low cost, high quantum yield and low cytotoxicity in comparison with semiconduc tor quantum dots based on metallic elements. In this paper, a new design for development of CDs/gelatin nanoparticles (CDs/GNPs) is described. The obtained fluorescent nanocarriers were characterized using FT-IR, SEM, XRD, DLS, PL analysis. Afterwards, the performance of developed NPs was investigated through different in -vitro tests such as MTT assay, fluorescence microscopy analyses. Methotrexate (MTX) was successfully loaded into the fluorescent NPs at physiological pH (7.4) by ionic interactions between anionic carboxylate groups of MTX and cationic amino groups on the surface of NPs. The MTT assay revealed that the MTX -loaded nanocarriers have higher cytotoxicity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells than nanocarriers without MTX. Upon the obtained results, our fluorescent nanocarriers hold great potential as drug carriers for the targeted MTX delivery to the cancer cells and biological fluorescent labelling.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
