Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been identified as promising materials for drug delivery due to their large specific surface area, their ability to pass through the cell membrane without damaging it and their physicochemical properties, allowing their surface to be easily functionalised. Additionally, their optical properties permit investigation in biological media in the near infrared (the “biological window”). In this paper, adsorption of doxorubicin on single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed with carboxymethylcellulose salt is monitored by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy in the visible and near infrared. We confirm that Raman-fluorescence coupled spectroscopy in the near infrared is a useful tool for probing the adsorption of drugs on single-walled carbon nanotubes in a sub-monolayer regime. By combining spectroscopic studies of doxorubicin in the visible range, we propose a protocol for quantifying the amount of adsorbed drug over a broad range of concentrations.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
