Photoswitchable Nanoparticles for Triggered Tissue Penetration and Drug Delivery
摘要:
We report a novel nanoparticulate drug delivery system that undergoes reversible volume change from 150 to 40 nm upon phototriggering with UV light. The volume change of these monodisperse nanoparticles comprising spiropyran, which undergoes reversible photoisomerization, and PEGylated lipid enables repetitive dosing from a single administration and enhances tissue penetration. The photo-switching allows particles to fluoresce and release drugs inside cells when illuminated with UV light. The mechanism of the light-induced size switching and triggered-release is studied. These particles provide spatiotemporal control of drug release and enhanced tissue penetration, useful properties in many disease states including cancer.
Critical aggregation concentrations of organic gel-forming lipids in nonpolarorganicmedia such as benzene were found to be determined by measuring the first-order rate constants of merocyanine-to-spiropyran thermal isomerizations for spiropyrans added as probes.

The results of a study of the photochromic properties of 1´-hexadecyl-3´,3´-dimethyl-6-nitro-1´,3´-dihydrospiro[chromene-2,2´-indole] (SP) are presented. The kineticcharacteristics of photophysical processes occurring in acetonitrile solution of SP upon irradiation with UV light and during dark relaxation are determined. It is shown that spiropyran modified at the nitrogen atom by a long-chain hydrocarbon

Photoelectrochemical control of the ion-blocking ability of the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film as an ion gate was demonstrated on a gold optically semi-transparent electrode (Au OTE) coated with multilayers containing photoresponsive amphiphilic compounds. When UV light was irradiated upon the modified Au OTE, this LB film became more compact to block permeation of ions into and out of the LB film and therefore inhibited electrochemical reactions of the redox active species in solution. On the other hand, when visible light was irradiated, this layer became more loose and redox species could penetrate the LB film.

The thermal decolouration of SP-16 in solvent cast dihexadecylphosphate (DHP) films and unilamellar dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicles exhibits single first-order kinetics. In DHP vesicles and solvent-cast DMPC films the thermal decolouration deviates from single
