Self-assembled heptamethine cyanine dye dimer as a novel theranostic drug delivery carrier for effective image-guided chemo-photothermal cancer therapy

Chanuk Jeong et al.

Summary: The work explores a self-assembled heptamethine cyanine dye dimer (CyD) that improves heat and fluorescence delivery by manipulating its unique structural and optical properties. The H-aggregation of CyD in an aqueous solution generates a significant amount of heat and the disulfide bond of CyD assists in drug delivery by minimizing interaction between the NIR dye and drug. Overall, the newly developed CyD demonstrates the potential of CyD/DOX as an effective NIR dye-based theranostic drug-delivery carrier for chemo-photothermal cancer therapy.
