Photothermally Controlled Methotrexate Release System Using β-Cyclodextrin and Gold Nanoparticles

Photothermally Controlled Methotrexate Release System Using β-Cyclodextrin and Gold Nanoparticles

The inclusion compound (IC) of cyclodextrin (CD) containing the antitumor drug Methotrexate (MTX) as a guest molecule was obtained to increase the solubility of MTX and decrease its inherent toxic effects in nonspecific cells. The IC was conjugated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), obtained by a chem...
