FT-IR characterization of a theranostic nanoprobe for photodynamic therapy and epidermal growth factor receptor targets
Abstract
Develop a bifunctional theranostic nanoprobe for breast cancer treatment. Epidermal Growth Factor is a targeting agent. The Chlorin e6 attached to nanoparticle carrier increases the pharmacokinetics. Diagnostic and therapeutic complexes formation were characterized by FT-IR. Promising nanoprobe for photodynamic therapy for cells with EGFR overexpressed.
