Loading and triggered release of cargo from hollow spherical gold nanoparticle superstructures

Abstract

Hollow spherical gold nanoparticle superstructures having different average diameters (∼75 nm and ∼150 nm) and near-infrared (NIR) extinction were loaded with the anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), and enzyme- and NIR-triggered DOX release were monitored.
