본 연구는 다중 형광이 표지된 이중 분획 입자의 제조에 관한 것이다. 입자 내에서 형광 발현을 분획화하기 위하여, 형광의 여기 및 방출 스펙트럼의 중첩이 적은 두가지의 형광 염료를 선정한다. 또한, 형광 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 선정된 형광 염료는 입자를 구성하는 소재와 함께 가교될 수 있도록 분자 내에 아크릴레이트(acrylate) 작용기를 포함한다. 공초점 현미경 촬영을 통하여 선정된 형광 물질을 이용하여 제조된 입자에서 강한 형광 발현 및 형광의 분획화를 확인하였다. 더 나아가 4주 동안 형광 발현 및 세기를 측정하여 장기간의 형광 안정성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 다중 형광 표지된 이중 분획 입자는 다중 표적형 약물 전달 체계, 3차원 브라운 운동의 해석 연구, 3차원의 복잡한 자기 조립체 형상의 규명 연구 등에 널리 활용될 수 있으리라 기대한다.

The elaboration of fluorescent submicronic polymer particles exhibiting narrow particle size distribution as well as good photostability is of particular interest in various biomedical applications. In the frame of this work, labeled polystyrene latexes have been synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization using luminescent semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots, QD). The influence of incorporation of QDs on the polymerization kinetics as well as on the optical properties of the obtained latexes will be discussed.

Backgroud: Ginsenoside compound K (GK) is a major metabolite of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides and has remarkable anticancer activities in vitro and in vivo. This work used an ionic cross-linking method to entrap GK within O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCMC) nanoparticles (Nps) to form GK-loaded OCMC Nps (GK-OCMC Nps), which enhance the aqueous solubility and stability of GK. Methods: The GK-OCMC Nps were characterized using several physicochemical techniques, including x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential analysis, and particle size analysis via dynamic light scattering. GK was released from GK-OCMC Nps and was conducted using the dialysis bag diffusion method. The effects of GK and GK-OCMC Nps on PC3 cell viability were measured by using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay. Fluorescent technology based on Cy5.5-labeled probes was used to explore the cellular uptake of GK-OCMC Nps. Results: The GK-OCMC NPs had a suitable particle size and zeta potential; they were spherical with good dispersion. In vitro drug release from GK-OCMC NPs was pH dependent. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity study and cellular uptake assays indicated that the GK-OCMC Nps significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of GK toward the PC3 cells. GK-OCMC Nps also significantly promoted the activities of both caspase-3 and caspase-9. Conclusion: GK-OCMC Nps are potential nanocarriers for delivering hydrophobic drugs, thereby enhancing water solubility and permeability and improving the antiproliferative effects of GK.
