This paper presents a strategy for the biofunctionalization of novel photosensitizer carriers, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). After being calcined and absorbed with photosensitizers (hypocrellin B, HB), MSNs can be coated with a lipid layer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) results proved that HB molecules can be loaded into MSN porous and lipid can coated on the surface of the nanoparticles. When co-cultured with cancer cells (MCF-7), MSNs can transport HB molecules into cells and present low cytotoxicity. With the introduction of a lipid layer, the efficiency of MSN uptake by cells can be improved. These intracellular HB-loaded MSN materials also present cytotoxicity to MCF-7 cells after light irradiation which indicates the materials can be used as good photosensitizer carriers in photodynamic therapy.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
