Özet
Fluorescent, CdSe/CdS core/crown heterostructured nanoplatelets (NPLs) were transferred to the water via a simple, single-step ligand exchange using 2-mercaptopropionic acid in a simple extraction process. These stable, aqueous NPLs were loaded with a modal drug, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). ALA-loaded NPLs emerged as a new class of theranostic nanoparticles for image-guided enhanced photodynamic therapy of both androgen-dependent and -independent human prostate cancer cells.
