Self-assembly synthesis of vapreotide‑gold hybrid nanoflower for photothermal antitumor activity

Add time:08/13/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Based on the self-assembly properties of vapreotide acetate (Vap), one kind of novel vapreotide acetate‑gold nanoflowers (Vap-AuNFs) was fabricated for the first time by biomimetic mineralization method using Vap as a template. The Vap-AuNFs possessed anisotropic structure with a large absorption cross-section, which were face-centered cubic crystalline, exhibiting a remarkable monodisperse, narrow size (154 nm) distribution and good stability in aqueous solution. The apparent anisotropy of the gold nanostructure with high molar extinction coefficient can cause significantly higher plasmon absorption of Vap-AuNFs in the near infrared (NIR) region compared with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), so the nanocomplex can induce remarkably enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency under NIR light irradiation. Breathtakingly, Vap-AuNFs exhibited superior biocompatibilities compared to AuNPs, as well as enhanced Hela cells lethality under NIR irradiation. This novel method was simple, low cost and green for the design and preparation of anisotropic gold nanoflowers with outstanding NIR laser-induced local hyperthermia, highlighting their potential applications in biomedical fields.
