Abstract

Recently, photodynamic and photothermal therapies have received increasing attention as an effective cancer treatment. In this study, a gold nanorod (AuNR) colloidal solution was synthesized as a hyperthermia agent for photothermal therapy and also modified with photosensitizer (PS) for photodynamic therapy. PEG (polyethylene glycol) and FA (folic acid) ligand were also introduced into AuNR for the long circulation in human body and efficient targeting of cancer cells, respectively and AuNRs were modified with FA-PEG and poly-${\beta}$-benzyl-L-aspartate (PBLA) block copolymers through a 3,4-dihydroxy hydrocinnamic acid (HCA) linker. A series of AuNRs with various aspect ratios were synthesized by controlling the feeding ratio of $AgNO_3$. The physicochemical property and morphology of synthesized AuNR100 and FA-PEG-$P(Asp)_{50}$-HCA-AuNR100 were analyzed by UV-visible spectrophotometer, $^1H$ NMR, XPS measurements, TEM. The surface modified AuNR carrier with biocompatibility could be applied for the effective diagnosis as well tumor phototherapy.

최근 효과적인 암 치료 방법으로 광역학치료(photodynamic therapy)와 광열치료(photothermal therapy)가 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광열치료에 필요한 광열인자로써의 역할을 할 수 있는 골드 나노로드(AuNR)를 합성하고, 그 표면에 광역학치료를 위한 광증감제(photosensitizer)를 결합하였다. 즉, 골드 나노로드를 체내에 오래 머무르도록 하기 위해 PEG(polyethylene glycol) 및 효과적인 암 표적지향성을 위해 FA (folic acid) 리간드를 도입하였고, FA-PEG와 poly-${\beta}$-benzyl-L-aspartate (PBLA)로 이루어진 블록 공중합체를 3,4-dihydroxy hydrocinnamic acid (HCA) linker를 사용하여 골드 나노로드의 표면개질을 하였다. 또한 $AgNO_3$의 feeding ratio 변화를 통해 다양한 aspect ratio를 갖는 골드 나노로드를 합성하였고, UV-visible spectrophotometer, $^1H$-NMR, XPS, TEM 분석을 통해 FA-PEG-$P(Asp)_{50}$-HCA-AuNR100의 물리 화학적 특성과 morphology를 분석하였고, 성공적인 표면 개질을 확인할 수 있었다. 골드 나노로드의 표면 개질을 통한 생체 적합성 약물전달체의 합성은 효과적인 암 진단 및 다양한 광역학/광열치료 분야에 응용이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
