Spectral Characteristics of Selenium-Containing Hybrid Nanocomplexes Based on Fotoditazine and Cellulose Polymer Carrier.

Triple hybrid nanocomplexes based on selenium (Se0) nanoparticles, cellulose polymer carrier (CPC), and the photosensitizer fotoditazine (FD) were synthesized with different sequences of component addition and ratios. The spectral characteristics of these triple nanocomplexes were compared with analogous characteristics of FD and double complexes of variable composition (FD/Se0, CPC/FD, and CPC/Se0) using spectral methods. The synthesized triple hybrid Se-containing nanocomplexes could be promising for photodynamic therapy and diagnostics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
