Conversion of light energy to heat via photothermal conversion agents (PTCAs) is of great interest and has potential applications. Here, we described a heptamethine cyanine (Cy7) dye nanoparticles (Cy7-PEG NPs) prepared from heptamethine cyanine and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG400) via a simple solvothermal process as novel PTCA. Cy7-PEG NPs have absorption maximum at about 808 nm and good photothermal conversion ability. Upon irradiation, Cy7-PEG NPs can effectively kill living mosquito larva (Aedes albopictus) through heat generation. Furthermore, Cy7-PEG NPs have excellent phototoxic activity to Sf9, HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Our results indicated that Cy7-PEG NPs can be used as controlling agent for mosquito larvae and cancer cells.
通过光热转换剂(PTCAs)将光能转化为热能引起了广泛关注,并具有潜在的应用价值。在这里,我们通过简单的溶剂热法将七甲川菁染料(Cy7)和聚乙二醇(PEG400)制备成七甲川菁染料纳米颗粒(Cy7-PEG NPs),将其作为新型 PTCAs 进行了描述。Cy7-PEG NPs 在约 808nm 处具有最大吸收峰,并且具有良好的光热转换能力。在照射下,Cy7-PEG NPs 通过产热可以有效杀死活体白纹伊蚊幼虫。此外,Cy7-PEG NPs 对 Sf9、HeLa 和 MCF-7 细胞具有优异的光毒性活性。我们的结果表明,Cy7-PEG NPs 可用作控制蚊虫幼虫和癌细胞的试剂。
