Drug targeting to specific organs and tissues has become one of the critical endeavors of the new century. Magnetic nanoparticles have gained a lot of attention in biomedical and industrial application. Doxorubicin is an effective anti-cancer drug in the treatment of many types of cancers. The aim of this study is to load doxorubicin on stimuli-responsive nanocarriers. These nanocarriers are prepared from magnetic nanoparticles. Then these magnetic nanparticles are coated by copolymer of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) then reacted with hydrazine and hydrazide functional group is formed that can chemically be bonded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin via a hydrazone bond formation. This... 

In this study the azulene-based ligand 2-(2-pyridylazulene) has been prepared by the coupling reaction between 2-bromopyridine and 2-(2_(6methyl azulene)) -4,4,5,5 tetra methyl-1,3,2- dioxaborolane in the presence of Palladium catalyst, [PdCl2(PPh3)2] .This ligand completely characterized by one and two dimentional NMR spectroscopy and its structure determined using X-ray crystallography method. The reaction of this ligand with 0.5 equivalent of Copper (Ⅰ) or Gold (Ⅰ) metal precursors, [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 or [Au(SMe2)Cl] gave the mononuclear Copper (Ⅰ) complex, [Cu (2-(2-pyridyl)6-methylazulene)2]PF6, 1 or Gold (Ⅰ) complex, [Au(2-(2-pyridyl)6-methylazulene)2], 2 respectively. Complexes 1 and 2... 

New methods of cancer treatment are always the attention of researchers all over the world, among which the photothermal treatment method is of particular importance. In addition to being easy, this treatment method has the least invasiveness. Studies have shown that combining this method with other methods such as chemotherapy not only can be very effective in destroying tumor tissue, but can significantly reduce the side effects of chemotherapy drugs.In order to apply the photothermal treatment method, an effective photothermal agent is needed. Molybdenum disulfide nanosheets have performed successfully in this field, which have been of great interest, due to their high efficiency in... 

Theranostic liposomes have recently found a broad range of applications in nanomedicine due to stability, the high solubility of biomacromolecules, bioavailability, efficacy, and low adverse effects. However, the limitations of liposomes concerning the short systemic circulation in the body, limited controllability of the release rate, and the inability of in vivo imaging remain challenging. Herein, the development of novel hybrid ultrasound-activated piezoelectric nanoparticles based on a hybrid liposome nanocarrier composed of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and Silibinin (a hydrophobic drug) is presented. The hybrid nanoparticles are an... 

The main goal of this study is to prepare and investigate stimuli responsive structures that respond to the light and other environmental triggers. Also, investigating their applications in biological fields such as: drug delivery and tissue engineering, in addition to the application of these materials in the field of chemical sensors that show color change with changes in solvent, electric field and metal ions. In the matter of drug delivery, guest-host interactions were used to release anticancer drugs, in such a way that with ultraviolet light irradiation and simultaneously with the formation of the cis isomer, the connections between azobenzene groups and cyclodextrin rings are...
