Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Cancer Therapy

Background:

  • Photothermal therapy (PTT) requires efficient and biocompatible photothermal agents for near-infrared (NIR) light activation.
  • Polyaniline nanoparticles (PANPs) are potential candidates but require surface modification for enhanced performance and biocompatibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize F127-modified polyaniline nanoparticles (F-PANPs) as effective PTT agents.
  • To evaluate the in vitro and in vivo efficacy and biocompatibility of F-PANPs for cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of PANPs via a hydrothermal method followed by surface functionalization with F127.
  • Characterization of F-PANP properties including size, dispersibility, molar extinction coefficient, and photothermal conversion efficiency.
  • In vitro and in vivo evaluation of F-PANP efficacy, including tumor ablation, and assessment of toxicity through TEM, MTT assays, histology, and hematology.

Main Results:

  • F-PANPs with a size of 48.5 ± 1.5 nm were successfully synthesized with excellent water dispersibility.
  • F-PANPs demonstrated a high molar extinction coefficient (8.95 × 10(8) m(-1) cm(-1)) and photothermal conversion efficiency (48.5%).
  • In vivo studies showed effective tumor ablation with NIR irradiation and F-PANP injection, alongside low observed toxicity.

Conclusions:

  • F-PANPs are highly efficient and biocompatible agents for NIR-induced photothermal therapy.
  • The developed polyaniline-based nanoparticles represent a promising platform technology for future in vivo PTT applications.
  • F-PANPs offer a viable strategy for cancer ablation with significant therapeutic potential.
