We report a new strategy for coupling chromone to Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The chromone-Fe3O4 NP conjugate shows a dramatic increase in chromone solubility in cell culture medium from less than 2.5 to 633 microg/ml, leading to the enhanced chromone uptake by HeLa cells. Chromone can be released at low pH and as a result, the chromone-Fe3O4 conjugate is much more efficient in inhibiting the HeLa cell proliferation. Such chromone-Fe3O4 NPs are promising as a powerful multifunctional delivery system for both chromone-based diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
我们报道了一种将色酮与Fe3O4纳米颗粒偶联的新策略。色酮-Fe3O4纳米颗粒共轭物显示色酮在细胞培养基中的溶解度从小于2.5微克/毫升急剧增加到633微克/毫升,导致HeLa细胞对色酮的摄取增强。色酮可以在低pH值下释放,因此,色酮-Fe3O4共轭物在抑制HeLa细胞增殖方面效率更高。这种色酮-Fe3O4纳米颗粒有望成为一种强大的多功能递送系统,用于基于色酮的诊断和治疗应用。
