Carbon quantum dots derived from mango leaves exhibited red fluorescence. These negatively charged particles underwent coating with the positively charged lipid molecule -[1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl]-,,-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTMA). However, the bioconjugate displayed reduced uptake compared to the standalone mQDs in cancer cells (SUM 159A), and increased uptake in case of non-cancerous (RPE-1) cells. Upon testing, the bioconjugate demonstrated a mitigating effect on the individual toxicity of both DOTMA and mQDs in SUM-159 (cancerous cells). Conversely, it exhibited a proliferative effect on RPE-1 (normal cells).
从芒果叶中提取的碳量子点发出红色荧光。这些带负电荷的粒子用带正电荷的脂质分子——[1-(2,3-二油酰氧基)丙基]三甲基氯化铵(DOTMA)进行了包覆。然而,与单独的芒果叶碳量子点(mQDs)相比,这种生物共轭物在癌细胞(SUM 159A)中的摄取减少,而在非癌细胞(RPE-1)中摄取增加。经测试,这种生物共轭物对SUM-159(癌细胞)中DOTMA和mQDs的个体毒性具有减轻作用。相反,它对RPE-1(正常细胞)表现出增殖作用。
