Synthesis and in Vitro anticancer properties of Cu2–xSe–AIPH nanomaterials
Vol 5, Issue 1, 2022
Abstract
The Cu2–xSe nanoparticles were synthesized by high temperature pyrolysis, modified with aminated polyethylene glycol in aqueous solution and loaded with compound 2,2′–azobis[2–(2–imidazolin–2–yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH). The obtained nanomaterials can induce photothermal effect and use heat to promote the generation of toxic AIPH radicals under the irradiation of near-infrared laser (808 nm), which can effectively kill cancer cells. A series of in vitro experiments can preliminarily prove that Cu2–xSe–AIPH nanomaterials have strong photothermal conversion ability, good biocompatibility and anticancer properties.
