Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of nano biomedical materials, and in particular to a preparation method and application of tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nano aggregates with near-infrared second-zone photothermal effect. Background Art

[0002] Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a cutting-edge technology in the field of nanomedicine. It destroys cancer cells by generating local high temperatures through precise laser irradiation. Compared with traditional treatment technologies, PTT has unique advantages in tumor diagnosis and treatment due to its high efficiency and minimal invasiveness to normal tissues. At present, the research on PTT is mainly focused on the near-infrared region I (NIR-I, 700-1000 nm), and the near-infrared region II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) has received increasing attention due to its advantages in reducing photodamage to healthy tissues, increasing penetration depth, and reducing energy loss. However, the photostability and long-term safety of existing photothermal nanoformulations need to be further evaluated. In addition, most of the photothermal nanomaterials currently developed have a response band limited to the NIR-I region, which weakens their effective diagnosis and treatment of deep tissues. How to prepare stable and efficient NIR-II region photothermal materials by simple means has become an important issue to be solved in this field.

[0003] Metal sulfides are binary compounds formed by sulfur and metals, and can also be generated by the interaction of hydrogen sulfide and metal oxides or hydroxides. As a semiconductor material, metal sulfides have special properties, such as good structural and thermal stability, narrow optical band gap, quantum size effect, and adjustable morphology and size. Metal sulfides, such as copper-based, molybdenum-based, and iron-based sulfides, have been widely used in biomedicine, photocatalysis, energy and other fields. It is well known that the performance of nanomaterials is determined by the composition and structure of the materials. Different nanostructures determine the unique properties of nanomaterials. By regulating the synthesis conditions, nanomaterials with different structures can be regulated. For example, by regulating the synthesis conditions, zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional nanosulfides, as well as three-dimensional metal sulfide nanomaterials with cubic structures can be prepared.

[0004] Tannic acid (TA) is a water-soluble polyphenol compound that is widely found in plants, fruit peels and beverages. TA molecules contain a large number of active phenolic groups and have excellent biocompatibility, adhesion and cohesion properties. As a biomimetic adhesion material, it has good application prospects in surface coatings, composite nanoparticle preparation, drug delivery and other fields. At the same time, TA has weak reducing ability under acidic conditions. Depending on the pH value, TA's stabilizing effect on nanoparticles and its own reducing properties are different. The particle size of metal nanoparticles can be regulated based on this property. Based on this, TA shows broad application prospects in the construction of nanodiagnostic and therapeutic materials with specific functions. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention is further described below with reference to the embodiments and drawings, but is not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1

The mixed solution containing tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregates is centrifuged to obtain a solid D; S7. The solid D was washed by centrifugation several times with ethanol and water; S8. After washing, the solid D is dried to obtain tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nano-aggregates. Example 2

[0018] A method for preparing tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregates is different from the preparation method in Example 1 in that sodium thiosulfate is used to replace thioacetamide in S2, and the other steps are the same as those in Example 1.

[0019] The experimental results show that the products prepared in Examples 1 and 2 can be well dispersed in aqueous solution and can exist stably.

[0020] The morphology of the tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregates prepared in Example 1 or 2 was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The transmission electron microscopy results of the aggregates in Example 1 are shown in FIG. Figure 1 .

[0021] Depend on Figure 1 a It can be seen that tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregates have good dispersibility and the average particle size is about 100 nanometers. Figure 1 b It can be seen that due to the surface modification and regulation of TA, cobalt sulfide nanoparticles can effectively aggregate to form tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregates.

[0022] The tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregates prepared in Example 1 or 2 were prepared into water-dispersed solutions with concentrations of 100 mg / mL and 200 mg / mL, and UV-visible-near infrared spectroscopy tests and photothermal heating experiments were performed.

Under 1064 nm laser irradiation, the temperature of the tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregate aqueous dispersion solution increased significantly with the increase of illumination time. Within 10 minutes, the temperature of the tannic acid-cobalt sulfide nanoaggregate aqueous dispersion solution with a concentration of 200 mg / mL increased by 28.8 ℃, while pure water hardly increased under the same illumination conditions ( Figure 2 b).
