Stimuli-responsive spin crossover nanoparticles for drug delivery and DNA-binding studies

Dalton Trans. 2022 Aug 23;51(33):12427-12431. doi: 10.1039/d2dt01509a.

Abstract

Aminated silica hybrid, spin-crossover (SCO) nanoparticles (AmNPs) coupled with (S)-naproxen (NAP) were proposed for potential drug nanocarriers through drug release experiments at various pH values. DNA- and albumin-binding studies were also carried out using diverse techniques in order to investigate the interaction of the nanoparticles with calf-thymus DNA and serum albumins and to determine the corresponding binding constants.
