Abstract

In this paper, we reported a ZnO quantum dot (QD) based nano drug delivery system by surface modification of hydrophilic copolymer poly(methacrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide-co-polyethylene glycol methyl acrylate) (ZnO@PMNE) that was synthesized by the one step copolymerization method. The ZnO@PMNE nanoparticles (ZnO@PMNE NPs) have excellent stability and photoluminescence performance in water. Moreover, it is temperature responsive and biodegradable in an acid microenvironment. ZnO@PMNE NPs loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) will degrade to zinc ions (Zn2+) and DOX at an acidic tumor microenvironment. Moreover, the cytotoxicity of cancer cells was significantly increased because the ZnO QDs exhibited cytotoxicity postdissolution compared to normal cells, which will achieve a synergistic antitumor effect to improve the therapeutic index.
