Albumin-stabilized Ag nanodots (ANDs) are prepared by a one-step biomineralization method. The highly crystallized nanodots have ultrasmall sizes (approximately 5.8 nm) and robust X-ray attenuation (5.7313 HU per mM Ag). The unlabeled ANDs are directly excreted from the body via the urine after in vivo X-ray computer tomography (CT) imaging application. ANDs could be used as CT imaging agents and effective photothermal therapy agents. Tumor growth inhibition reaches 90.2% after photothermal treatment with ANDs. ANDs are promising tools for in vivo CT imaging and clearable near-infrared-triggered theranostic agents.
白蛋白稳定的银纳米点(ANDs)通过一步生物矿化法制备。这些高度结晶的纳米点具有超小的尺寸(约 5.8nm)和强大的 X 射线衰减能力(每 mM Ag 为 5.7313 HU)。在体内 X 射线计算机断层扫描(CT)成像应用后,未标记的 ANDs 可通过尿液直接从体内排出。ANDs 可用作 CT 成像剂和有效的光热治疗剂。用光热治疗 ANDs 后,肿瘤生长抑制率达到 90.2%。ANDs 是用于体内 CT 成像和可清除的近红外触发治疗剂的有前途的工具。
