Soft fluorescent organic nanodots as nanocarriers for porphyrins

Résumé

Novel fluorescent organic nanoparticles made from citric acid and diethylenetriamine were used as biocompatible and highly water-soluble nanocarriers for hydrophobic tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). The tetraphenylporphyrin units were covalently attached to the nanoparticles, generating conjugated nanoparticles which retain water solubility and preserve the photophysical properties of monomeric TPP. The conjugated nanoparticles show two distinct fluorescence features: blue emission from the nanoparticle when excited in the near UV (360 nm) and characteristic far-red emission of the TPP when excited in the visible (Soret band or Q bands). The uptake of the conjugated nanoparticles in live human neuroblastoma cancer cells was evidenced using two-photon microscopy. These experiments demonstrate that the fluorescence organic nanoparticles do act as efficient nanocarriers allowing the cell internalization of the hydrophobic porphyrins. These conjugated nanoparticles appear as promising nanotools for theranostic based on the combination of imaging (monitoring of the nanoparticle fluorescence) and therapeutic (photodynamic therapy by selectively exciting the grafted porphyrin units) modalities
