Biodegradable Luminescent Porous Silicon Nanoparticles for In Vivo Applications
UC San Diego researchers have developed luminescent porous silicon nanoparticles (LPSiNP) that can carry a drug payload and whose intrinsic near-infrared photoluminescence allows in-vivo monitoring of accumulation and degradation. Unlike most optically active nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, gold nanoparticles, quantum dots), LPSiNP self-destruct into renally cleared components relatively quickly with little evidence of toxicity. The invention also provides imaging agents (e.g., tumor imaging using dextran-coated LPSiNP). It presents a new type of multifunctional nanostructure with a low-toxicity degradation pathway for in vivo applications.
