Embodiment 1

[0028] This example takes AuNCs@DHLA as an example to illustrate its killing effect on tumor cells.

[0029] 1. Experimental materials:

[0030] 1. Experimental drugs

[0031] Chloroauric acid (HAuCl 4 ·4H 2 O, gold content ≥ 47.8%), sodium borohydride (NaHB) 4 , 98%) were purchased from Aladdin Reagent Co., Ltd. Sodium hydroxide (Sodiumhydroxide, NaOH, 97%), methanol (Methanol, 99%), absolute ethanol (Ethanol, C 2 H 5 OH), hydrochloric acid (Hydrochloric acid, HCl, 36.5%) was purchased from Beijing Chemical Reagent Company. Protease digestion solution (Tyrisin, 0.25%) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) were purchased from Hyclone Company. Penicillin-streptomycin solution (Penicillin-Streptomycin), DMEM cell culture medium (Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium) was purchased from Invitrogen Company. Rhodamine 6G (Rhodamine 6G, 95%) was purchased from Shanghai Jingchun Industrial Co., Ltd. Dimethylsulfoxide (Dimethylsulfoxide, DMSO, 99.7%) was purchased from Sigma...

Embodiment 2

[0049] Referring to Example 1, mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@MUA) were prepared. Also referring to Example 1, photodynamic therapy was performed on tumor-bearing nude mice. The test results showed that AuNCs@MUA had obvious tumor killing effect under light conditions, and its tumor inhibition efficiency could reach 83%.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and particularly discloses the application of gold nanocluster in preparation of a drug for treating tumors. Experimental study discovers that the gold nanocluster can enter cells by virtue of receptor-mediated endocytosis, form endosome and fuse with lysosome so as to deposit in the lysosome. Under light conditions, a photo chemical reaction is carried out on the surface of the gold nanocluster, production of reactive oxide species (ROS) is triggered, apoptosis is initiated, and the ROS can further attack cytoskeleton to cause cytoskeleton fracture and functional damage. The invention firstly proposes that the gold nanocluster can serve as a novel nano-drug to be used for treatment of tumors. As the nano-drug, the gold nanocluster is excellent in biocompatibility and high in safety. As an inert metal, the gold has excellent biocompatibility, and small interference on normal physiological activities of organisms / cells and low toxicity;the gold nanocluster has an effect of killing the tumors under specified conditions only, and is high in using safety.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, in particular to the application of gold nano-clusters in the preparation of drugs for treating tumors. Background technique [0002] Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are nanoparticles (Au NPs) with a particle size of less than 2 nm, usually composed of several to dozens of gold atoms, which are arranged more like atoms, so they are often considered to be "Au NPs". Artificial atom". Since the free electrons in Au NCs are confined in a small space and cannot move freely, they exhibit an obvious quantum confinement effect, which is the essence of their properties. [0003] Au NCs have remarkable Coulomb blocking effect and special magnetic properties, and the electronic structure similar to semiconductor also makes them have special fluorescence properties. The coordinative unsaturated atoms on the surface of Au NCs endow Au NCs with high catalytic activity. Therefore, Au NCs are now widely used in biology,...
