Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cutting-edge nanomaterials and drug screening, and in particular to a fluorescent probe material for drug screening and a drug screening method. Background Art
[0002] Anti-tumor drugs are a class of medications used to treat tumors. Briefly, they include chemotherapy drugs and biologics. In recent years, advances in molecular oncology and molecular pharmacology have gradually clarified the nature of tumors. The invention and application of advanced technologies such as large-scale rapid screening, combinatorial chemistry, and genetic engineering have accelerated drug development, ushering in a new era in the research and development of anti-tumor drugs.
[0003] Cancer cells typically provide themselves with energy by enhancing the anaerobic glycolysis of glucose, converting glucose into lactate through the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. Therefore, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in cancer cells is much higher than in normal cells. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme factor for lactate dehydrogenase during the anaerobic glycolysis of glucose. In cancer cells with rapid metabolic rates, which cause lactate accumulation, the concentration of NAD+ in cancer cells is much higher than that in normal cells. Therefore, measuring the concentration of NAD+ can reflect the activity of lactate dehydrogenase. By measuring the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, the inhibitory effect of anticancer drugs on lactate dehydrogenase activity can be determined. Therefore, measuring the concentration of NAD+ can be used to screen the efficacy of anticancer drugs.
[0004] Carbon dots have good biocompatibility and excellent optical properties and are widely used as probe materials in ion detection, nucleic acid detection, and other substance detection fields. For example, CN110554012A discloses a carbon dot fluorescent probe for glutathione detection and its preparation method, and CN110607173B discloses a carbon dot fluorescent probe for glutathione detection and its preparation method.
[0005] The inventor's previous research results "CN118258799B Nanofluorescence Sensor for Drug Screening, Its Preparation Method and Drug Screening Method" successfully applied carbon dots to the detection of NAD+, and also provided a feasible drug screening strategy. The nanofluorescence sensor is a ratiometric sensor based on fluorescence intensity detection, which can characterize the NAD+ concentration by the ratio of blue fluorescence to yellow fluorescence, thereby realizing the efficacy judgment of the drug to be tested for inhibiting lactate dehydrogenase activity. The design of the ratiometric sensor can reduce the influence of background fluorescence. The principle is: when NAD+ exists in the system, the phosphate group on NAD+ reacts with Fe 3+ It has a stronger coordination effect, thus competing with the Fe on the carbon dots. 3+, forming Fe@NAD+ complex, which is separated from the carbon dots after centrifugation, thereby restoring the blue fluorescence of the carbon dots; the intensity of the restored blue fluorescence is positively correlated with the concentration of NAD+.
[0006] This scheme has achieved certain results, but there are also some shortcomings or areas for further improvement: In this scheme, CDs first react with Fe 3+ The fluorescence is quenched by binding, and then NAD+ competes for Fe from CDs. 3+ The CDs fluorescence is restored and the NAD+ concentration is detected by the CDs fluorescence recovery intensity. 3+ During the process, NAD+ binds to Fe 3+ Competition intensity, Fe 3+ Whether the cell is sufficiently separated from CDs will affect the recovery of CDs fluorescence, and ultimately affect the detection of NAD+ concentration.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies to provide more reliable solutions or more alternatives. Summary of the Invention

[0045] When K T1 ≤K≤K T2 The test result is then judged to be reliable, and then the NAD+ concentration is obtained by analyzing the F620 value based on the pre-established standard curve f1 that represents the relationship between the F620 value and the NAD+ concentration. Finally, the anticancer efficacy of the drug to be tested is judged based on the NAD+ concentration. Among them, the larger the F620 value, the lower the NAD+ concentration, and the better the anticancer efficacy of the drug to be tested. T1 and K T2 is a pre-set threshold;

[0048] Preferably, the standard curve f1 is constructed by the following method:
[0049] 1) Add Agent A to deionized water and ultrasonically disperse for 10-30 minutes to prepare a dispersion of Agent A with a concentration of 0.1-1 mg / mL;
[0050] 2) adding different concentrations of NAD+ to the Agent A dispersion and stirring uniformly to prepare a series of standard working solutions containing the same concentration of Agent A and different NAD+ concentrations, wherein the NAD+ concentration range of the series of standard working solutions is 0-10 μmol / L;

Detect the fluorescence intensity at 620 nm, recorded as F620; use the measured fluorescence intensity as the y-axis and the corresponding NAD+ concentration as the x-axis for curve fitting to obtain the standard curve f1.
[0053] Preparation process of the fluorescent probe material of the present invention and its mechanism for anticancer drug screening:
[0054] 1. Preparation process of Agent A
[0055] 1. First, the present invention uses glucose, L-cysteine, and 3-methyl-4-isopropylphenol as precursors to synthesize carbon dots through a one-pot hydrothermal method. The carbon dots well inherit the reducing properties of L-cysteine and 3-methyl-4-isopropylphenol and can emit bright red fluorescence at 620nm under 365nm excitation light. The surface of the carbon dots is rich in functional groups such as amino, hydroxyl, carboxyl, and thiol. These functional groups can strongly coordinate with transition metal ions, resulting in fluorescence quenching of the carbon dots due to excited-state electron transfer and energy transfer.
[0056] 2. Then, a covalent organic framework material COF was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The covalent organic framework material was prepared according to the reference literature (Li Mengyao, Fluorescence Performance Regulation and Application of Chemiluminescent Covalent Organic Framework Materials [D]. Jiangxi Normal University. 2023-06-01.), which can emit green fluorescence at 539nm under 365nm excitation light; COF has a porous structure and strong adsorption capacity, and it can also form non-fluorescent complexes through coordination with transition metal ions, resulting in fluorescence quenching.
[0057] 3. A covalent organic framework (COF) was then used as a carrier to uniformly load a large number of carbon dots, ultimately yielding Agent A: COF@CDs. COFs offer excellent stability and biocompatibility, a large specific surface area, and tunable optical properties. The COF loading enhances the dispersion of CDs.
[0058] COFs are nanocarriers with good biocompatibility and strong adsorption capacity. After loading CDs, COF@CDs can easily enter cancer cells or be adsorbed onto cancer cells due to the high permeability and retention effect (EPR effect) of tumors (Iranpour S, Abrishami A, Saljooghi A S. Covalent organic frame works in cancer theranostics: advancing biomarker detection and tumor-targeted therapy[J]. Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2025, 48(3): 183-211. DOI: 10.1007 / s12272-025-01536-2.); During drug screening, the A dispersion and the drug to be tested are incubated with cancer cells. After incubation, the B dispersion is added, the reaction is centrifuged, the centrifuge is discarded, and the fluorescence intensity of the product is detected. At this time, since COF@CDs can enter or adsorb onto cancer cells, they are well retained, which can reduce their loss during the centrifugation process, thereby better ensuring the accuracy of the test results.
[0059] On the other hand, the combination of CDs and COF can regulate optical properties and enhance luminescence intensity. Specifically, the prepared COF@CDs has a dual-peak emission characteristic. Under 365nm excitation light, it can emit fluorescence at 539nm and 620nm, and the fluorescence intensity of the two emission peaks is enhanced.
[0060] The main principles of carbon dots enhancing COF fluorescence include: (1) carbon dots can promote electron transfer under light excitation, especially in composite systems, where their surface functional groups can form effective interactions with COF, which can optimize charge separation efficiency, prolong the excited state lifetime, and thus enhance the fluorescence emission intensity (Liu Cui. Research on the structure, fluorescence properties and luminescence mechanism of carbon dots [J]. [2025-05-16].); (2) The nanometer size and rich surface functional groups of carbon dots make it easy for them to form stable covalent composite structures with COF; this type of composite structure can effectively inhibit the fluorescence quenching of COF and regulate the fluorescence emission wavelength and intensity through surface modification.
[0061] The main principles of COF-enhanced carbon dot fluorescence include: (1) COFs have a highly ordered porous structure and adjustable pore size, which can fix carbon dots through physical confinement and reduce the fluorescence quenching phenomenon caused by aggregation; (2) COFs' surface functional groups (such as amino and carboxyl groups) form hydrogen bonds or chemical bonds with carbon dot surface groups, optimizing the electronic structure through charge transfer or energy transfer. This synergistic effect can stabilize the excited state of carbon dots, extend the fluorescence lifetime and improve the luminescence efficiency; (3) COFs can promote the efficient separation and energy transfer of photogenerated carriers.
[0062] 2. Mechanism of Anticancer Drug Screening by Combining Agents A and B
[0063] Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme factor for lactate dehydrogenase during the anaerobic glycolysis of glucose. In cancer cells, where rapid metabolism leads to lactate accumulation, the concentration of NAD+ is much higher than in normal cells. Therefore, measuring NAD+ concentration can reflect lactate dehydrogenase activity. By measuring lactate dehydrogenase activity, the inhibitory effect of anticancer drugs on lactate dehydrogenase activity can be determined, ultimately enabling the screening of anticancer drug efficacy.
[0064] Agent B is a transition metal hydride, denoted as MH, which can transfer negative hydrogen to NAD+ to achieve hydrogenation reduction of NAD+. NAD+ is reduced to NADH. After losing hydrogen, agent B is converted into ionic M+ (Zhang Fanjun. Research on the reduction of NAD+-like organic cations by metal iron complexes and catalytic pyridine hydroboration reaction [D]. Shandong University, 2017.), exposing the metal coordination bond, which can combine with COF and CDs in COF@CDs, thereby quenching the dual fluorescence of COF@CDs.
[0065] In the present invention, agent B is selected from the iron-hydrogen complex reported in the document "Wang Yangyang. Study on the catalytic properties of trimethylphosphine-supported phenylselenol-based iron-hydrogen compounds [D]. Northwest Normal University, 2019." Agent B has catalytic reduction properties, and CDs in COF@CDs has excellent reducing properties. Agent B and COF@CDs are cleverly combined, so that when COF@CDs are present, agent B can efficiently react with NAD+, so that NAD+ is reduced to NADH. At the same time, after losing hydrogen, agent B efficiently quenches the dual fluorescence of COF@CDs, so that the dual fluorescence signal of COF@CDs can be used to detect the NAD+ concentration, thereby realizing the screening of the efficacy of anticancer drugs.
[0066] Furthermore, in the present invention, the fluorescence intensity at 620 nm in COF@CDs is significantly enhanced, and using it as a quantitative signal for analyzing NAD+ concentration can improve sensitivity and accuracy. The fluorescence at 539 nm can be used in conjunction with the fluorescence at 620 nm to determine the reliability of the fluorescence detection results. Specifically, the fluorescence intensities at 539 nm and 620 nm come from the COF and CDs in the COF@CDs, respectively, and are only related to the properties of the COF@CDs themselves (primarily their preparation method and the ratio of COF and CDs therein). Therefore, for the same COF@CDs, the ratio of the fluorescence intensities at 539 nm and 620 nm, K (K = F539 / F620), remains essentially unchanged. For example, in some preferred embodiments, K fluctuates around 0.4. Therefore, K is used as an internal reference to determine the reliability of the fluorescence test results: if K fluctuates within the allowable range around 0.4, the fluorescence test results are reliable; otherwise, the fluorescence test results are unreliable. In this way, the fluorescence test results can be pre-judged, thereby ensuring the reliability of the final drug screening results.
[0067] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0068] (1) The present invention provides a new material that can be used for drug screening, which is a combined probe material, including agent A as a fluorescent emitter and agent B as a trigger for fluorescence quenching. Agent A is a covalent organic framework material loaded with reducing carbon dots, and agent B is a transition metal hydride. Agent B can hydrogenate and reduce NAD+ to NADH in the presence of COF@CDs. The product after agent B loses hydrogen can bind to COF@CDs and quench the fluorescence emitted by COF@CDs under excitation light. The concentration of NAD+ can be analyzed by changing the fluorescence intensity, and finally the anticancer efficacy screening of drugs can be achieved by the concentration of NAD+.
[0069] (2) In the present invention, the B agent reacts with NAD+ in the presence of COF@CDs to undergo a hydrogenation reaction, and then the COF@CDs fluorescence is quenched by the reaction product. Compared with the fluorescence quenching method of competitive binding of transition metals in the prior art, the present invention can improve sensitivity and accuracy. Specifically, for example, in patent CN118258799B, NAD+ is relied on to compete with CDs for Fe 3+ This restores CDs fluorescence and competes for Fe 3+ During the process, NAD+ binds to Fe 3+ Competition intensity, Fe 3+ Whether or not the COF@CDs are sufficiently separated from the CDs will affect the recovery of CDs fluorescence, ultimately affecting the detection of NAD+ concentration. However, in the present invention, since there is no competitive relationship, the COF@CDs fluorescence is quenched by the dehydrogenation product of the B agent reaction, which can avoid the above problems and thus improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detection.
[0070] (3) The present invention further combines the provided fluorescent probe material to construct a new drug screening strategy: the A-agent COF@CDs is mixed with the drug to be tested and cancer cells for cultivation. After the cultivation is completed, the NAD+ concentration is detected by adding agent B to determine the anticancer efficacy of the drug to be tested;
[0071] In this method, the dual fluorescence characteristics of COF@CDs and the fixed nature of their dual fluorescence ratio are utilized. The ratio K of the fluorescence intensities at 539nm and 620nm is used as an internal reference to judge the reliability of the fluorescence test results, which can ensure the credibility of the final drug screening results. The higher fluorescence intensity of 620nm is used as a quantitative signal to analyze NAD+ concentration, which can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the detection results.

The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The filtrate was dialyzed for 24 h using a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 1000 Da. The dialysate in the dialysis bag was collected and freeze-dried to obtain carbon dots, which were designated as CDs.

Then, 1.5 mL of 3 mol / L acetic acid solution was added and mixed evenly. The resulting mixture was frozen in liquid nitrogen at 77 K and degassed by three freeze-thaw cycles. After degassed, the mixture was sealed and heated at 120 ° C for 72 hours. After the reaction, the solid product was collected by centrifugation and washed with tetrahydrofuran. It was vacuum-dried at 70 ° C to constant weight and ground to obtain a covalent organic framework material, which was recorded as COF.

[0104] 1) Add Agent A to deionized water and ultrasonically disperse for 30 minutes to prepare a dispersion of Agent A with a concentration of 1 mg / mL;
[0105] 2) Add the drug to be tested to the dispersion of Agent A, controlling the concentration of the drug to be tested to 10 μg / mL, and incubate cancer cells with the resulting mixture at 37°C for 2 hours;
[0106] 3) Add Agent B to dimethyl sulfoxide and ultrasonically disperse for 45 minutes to prepare a dispersion of Agent B with a concentration of 2 mg / mL;

Detect the fluorescence intensity at 539 nm and 620 nm, which are recorded as F539 and F620, respectively, and calculate the value K of F539 / F620;
[0108] When K T1 ≤K≤K T2 The test result is then judged to be reliable, and then the NAD+ concentration is obtained by analyzing the F620 value based on the pre-established standard curve f1 that represents the relationship between the F620 value and the NAD+ concentration. Finally, the anticancer efficacy of the drug to be tested is judged based on the NAD+ concentration. Among them, the larger the F620 value, the lower the NAD+ concentration, and the better the anticancer efficacy of the drug to be tested. T1 and K T2 is a pre-set threshold;
[0109] When K>K T2 Or K<K T1 When the number of drug residues is less than 1%, steps 1) to 4) are repeated to re-screen the drug to be tested.
[0110] The method for constructing the standard curve f1 will be described in detail later.
[0111] In this embodiment, K T1 =0.35, K T2 =0.45.
[0112] Performance characterization:
[0113] 1. Reference Figure 1 , are the infrared spectra of CDs, COF, and COF@CDs prepared in Example 1; in COF, 1620 cm -1 The characteristic peaks near the BTTH and TD are derived from the C=N in the Schiff base reaction product, which is consistent with the COF reported in the literature (Li Mengyao, Fluorescence properties regulation and application of chemiluminescent covalent organic framework materials [D]. Jiangxi Normal University. 2023-06-01.) BETH-TD Combining the infrared spectra of CDs, COF, and COF@CDs, it can be seen that after CDs are loaded onto carbon dots, COF@CDs exhibits characteristic peaks of COF, with a slight shift in the C=N peak. The characteristic peaks of -NH, -OH, -SH, C=O, and Benzene (benzene ring) originate from the loaded carbon dots, demonstrating the successful synthesis of CDs and COF, as well as the successful loading of CDs onto COF.
[0114] 2. Reference Figure 2 , is a transmission electron microscope (TEM) photograph of COF@CDs prepared in Example 1. It can be seen that a large number of CDs are uniformly loaded on the COF with a fibrous lamellar structure.
[0115] 3. Disperse CDs, COF, and COF@CDs in dimethyl sulfoxide to prepare corresponding dispersions with a concentration of 1 mg / mL, and test the emission spectra under 356 nm excitation light.
[0116] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the emission peak of COF is around 539nm, the emission peak of CDs is around 620nm, and the emission peak of COF@CDs appears around both 620nm and 539nm, and the intensity of the emission peak is significantly enhanced. The fluorescence intensity at 620nm is significantly stronger than that at 539nm.
[0117] 4. Fluorescence intensity of different concentrations of COF@
[0118] The COF@CDs prepared in Example 1 were dispersed in dimethyl sulfoxide to prepare several COF@CDs dispersions of equal volume and different concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 mg / mL). The fluorescence intensities at 539 nm and 620 nm under 356 nm excitation light were measured, denoted as F539 and F620, respectively, and the K value was calculated, K = F539 / F620.
[0119] The test results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, it can be seen that within the above concentration range, as the concentration of the dispersion increases, the fluorescence intensity gradually increases, but the ratio K of the fluorescence intensity at 539nm and 620nm remains basically unchanged, always around 0.4.
[0120] 5. Fe 3+ Fluorescence quenching effect on COF@CDs
[0121] The COF@CDs prepared in Example 1 were dispersed in dimethyl sulfoxide to prepare several 10 mL COF@CDs dispersions with a concentration of 1 mg / mL. The same volume of Fe 3+ The solution (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mg / mL), specifically Fe(NO3)3 solution, was stirred for 15 min, and then the fluorescence intensity at 539 nm and 620 nm under 356 nm excitation light was tested, recorded as F539 and F620, respectively, and the K value was calculated, K=F539 / F620.
[0122] The test results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen that Fe 3+ It can simultaneously quench the fluorescence of COF@CDs at 539nm and 620nm. 3+ With the increase of the amount of fluorescence, the fluorescence intensities at both locations gradually decreased, while the ratio K of the fluorescence intensities at 539 nm and 620 nm remained basically unchanged, always around 0.4.
[0123] 6. Develop standard curve f1
[0124] The construction method of f1 is as follows:
[0125] 1) Add Agent A (COF@CDs) prepared in Example 1 to deionized water and ultrasonically disperse for 30 minutes to prepare a dispersion of Agent A with a concentration of 1 mg / mL;
[0126] 2) adding different concentrations of NAD+ to the Agent A dispersion and stirring uniformly to prepare a series of standard working solutions containing the same concentration of Agent A and different NAD+ concentrations, wherein the NAD+ concentration range of the series of standard working solutions is 0-10 μmol / L (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 μmol / L);
[0127] 3) Add Agent B to dimethyl sulfoxide and ultrasonically disperse for 45 minutes to prepare a dispersion of Agent B with a concentration of 2 mg / mL;
[0128] 4) Add the same volume and concentration of Agent B dispersion to each standard working solution, sonicate for 20 minutes, stir at room temperature for 1 hour, centrifuge, discard the centrifuge, redisperse the resulting product in dimethyl sulfoxide, and expose to 365 nm excitation light. Measure the fluorescence intensity at 539 nm and 620 nm, denoted as F539 and F620, respectively. Curve fitting is performed using the measured fluorescence intensity F620 as the y-axis and the corresponding NAD+ concentration as the x-axis to obtain the standard curve f1. Calculate the K value: K = F539 / F620.
[0129] The fluorescence intensity at 539nm and 620nm changes with different NAD+ concentrations as shown in the following figure: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that as the NAD+ concentration increases, the fluorescence intensity at both locations gradually decreases; the standard curve f1 obtained by fitting is shown in Figure 7 As shown, the correlation R 2 =0.9956, indicating a good linear relationship.
[0130] The values of F539 and F620 corresponding to each working solution system at different NAD+ concentrations, as well as the results of K value are shown in the figure below. Figure 8 This result, combined with the experimental results in 4 and 5, shows that the ratio K of the fluorescence intensity at 539nm and 620nm of COF@CDs is not affected by its concentration, and even if it is quenched (by Fe 3+ The ratio K remains essentially unchanged even when the NAD+ and agent B system is quenched by the product of hydrogen loss from the transition metal hydride. This indicates that the ratio K depends only on the properties of the COF@CDs themselves. Therefore, the ratio K can be used as an internal standard to determine whether the fluorescence test results are reliable. For the COF@CDs prepared in Example 1, if the ratio K fluctuates within the allowable range of 0.4 (specifically 0.35 to 0.45, i.e., K T1=0.35, K T2 =0.45), indicating that the fluorescence test results are reliable. The NAD+ concentration can be analyzed from the F620 value to determine the anticancer efficacy of the drug under test. If the ratio K deviates significantly from 0.4, the fluorescence test results are unreliable. Possible causes include improper fluorescence test operation, problems with the fluorescence equipment, deterioration of the COF@CDs during storage, uneven dispersion of the COF@CDs dispersion, or other improper operation during the test. By using the ratio K as an internal reference indicator to pre-evaluate the fluorescence test results, the reliability of the final drug screening results can be guaranteed.
[0131] 7. Performance test of fluorescence quenching of COF and CDs by agent B in the presence of NAD+
[0132] (1) The test method for COF is:
[0133] 1) The COF prepared in Example 1 was added to deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed for 30 minutes to prepare a COF dispersion with a concentration of 1 mg / mL;
[0134] 2) adding different concentrations of NAD+ to the COF dispersion and stirring uniformly to prepare a series of test solutions containing the same concentration of Agent A and different NAD+ concentrations, wherein the NAD+ concentration range in the test solutions is 0-10 μmol / L (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 μmol / L);
[0135] 3) Add Agent B to dimethyl sulfoxide and ultrasonically disperse for 45 minutes to prepare a dispersion of Agent B with a concentration of 2 mg / mL;
[0136] 4) Add the same volume and concentration of Agent B dispersion to each standard working solution, sonicate for 20 minutes, stir at room temperature for 1 hour, centrifuge, discard the centrifuge, and redisperse the resulting product in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and expose it to 365 nm excitation light. Detect the fluorescence intensity at 539 nm and record it as F539-COF.
[0137] (2) The test method of CDs is as follows: CDs prepared in Example 1 are used to replace the above COF, and the fluorescence intensity at 620 nm is detected, which is recorded as F620-CDs. The rest of the test method is the same as that of COF.
[0138] The test results are as follows Figure 9As shown, it can be seen that in the presence of NAD+, the fluorescence of CDs at 620nm can be significantly quenched by agent B, and the higher the NAD+ concentration, the more the fluorescence intensity decreases, indicating that in the presence of CDs, agent B can efficiently hydrogenate and reduce NAD+ to NADH; while the fluorescence intensity of COF at 539nm is not significantly quenched by agent B, indicating that when COF exists alone, agent B cannot efficiently achieve the hydrogenation reduction of NAD+ to NADH.
[0139] 8. Reducibility test of COF@CDs
[0140] The COF@CDs prepared in Example 1 were dispersed in ethanol to prepare COF@CDs dispersions of varying concentrations (0-1 mg / mL). The reducibility of these COF@CDs dispersions was then tested using a DPPH reagent kit (Isejiu (Lianyungang, Jiangsu) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., specifications 100T / 96S). The DPPH reagent has a strong absorption at 515 nm. Adding an antioxidant (reducing agent) causes a decolorization reaction, resulting in a decrease in absorbance at 515 nm. Within a certain range, the change in absorbance is proportional to the reducibility. Therefore, the degree of decrease in absorbance at 515 nm can reflect the reducibility of COF@CDs.
[0141] The test results are as follows Figure 10 As shown, it can be seen that COF@CDs has good reducing properties. In the range of 0-1 mg / mL, with the increase of concentration, the absorbance at 515 nm gradually decreases, indicating that its reducing ability gradually increases.
[0142] 9. Toxicity test of agent A
[0143] Since agent A (COF@CDs) needs to be co-cultured with cancer cells together with the drug to be tested, it is necessary to test the biological toxicity of agent A.
[0144] HeLa cells were used as experimental subjects, and the toxicity of agent A (COF@CDs) prepared in Example 1 was tested using the MTT Cell Proliferation and Cytotoxicity Assay Kit. The horizontal axis represents the concentration of COF@CDs, and the vertical axis represents the cell viability. The test results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 11 As shown, it can be seen that COF@CDs in the concentration range of 0.1-5 mg / mL have very low toxicity to cells.
[0145] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the description and implementation methods. They can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the present invention is not limited to specific details.
