Synthesis and characterization of fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based nanoprobes by coating CdTe QDs with rhodamine B in gelatin nanoparticles.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(6) , 4330-3, (2013)

A FRET-based nanoprobe consisting of CdTe quantum dot as donor and rhodamine B as acceptor embedded in gelatin nanoparticles was constructed and the photophysics of the system was characterized. The FRET-based sensors were led to at fixed donor/acceptor dista...

A SERS protocol as a potential tool to access 6-mercaptopurine release accelerated by glutathione-S-transferase.

Analyst 140 , 7578-85, (2015)

The developed method for monitoring GST, an important drug metabolic enzyme, could greatly facilitate researches on relative biological fields. In this work, we have developed a SERS technique to monitor the absorbance behaviour of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and...

Membrane interactions of synthetic peptides with antimicrobial potential: effect of electrostatic interactions and amphiphilicity.

Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins 7 , 66-74, (2015)

Cationic antimicrobial peptides are considered promising candidates to complement currently used antibiotics, which are less effective against increasingly resistant pathogens. To determine the mechanism of action of these peptides, a better understanding of ...

Cadmium telluride quantum dots cause oxidative stress leading to extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells.

Toxicology 306 , 114-23, (2013)

The mechanisms of toxicity related to human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell exposures to cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe-QDs) were investigated. CdTe-QDs caused cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Treated cells showed an...

Designing a biocompatible hydrogel for the delivery of mesalamine.

Int. J. Pharm. 491 , 170-9, (2015)

A new design for nanocomposite hydrogels based on cross-linked chitosan for the delivery of mesalamine is presented. To enhance drug loading in chitosan, the mineral montmorillonite was incorporated into the matrix. The exfoliated silica montmorillonite nanos...

An improved method for ratiometric fluorescence detection of pH and Cd2+ using fluorescein isothiocyanate-quantum dots conjugates.

Anal. Chim. Acta 767 , 134-40, (2013)

In this study, thioglycolic acid capped-CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were modified by polyethylenimine (PEI), and then combined with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to fabricate FITC-CdTe conjugates. The self-assembly of FITC, CdTe and PEI was ascribed to electr...

In vivo monitoring of distributional transport kinetics and extravasation of quantum dots in living rat liver.

Nanotechnology 24(16) , 165101, (2013)

Although the unique optical properties of surface-modified quantum dots (QDs) have attracted wide interest in molecular biology and bioengineering, there are very few reports of their in vivo biodistribution, due to a lack of analytical techniques for charact...
