Visible-light-triggered supramolecular valves based on β-cyclodextrin-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles for controlled drug release

Abstract

A high-efficiency drug delivery system has been successfully constructed based on visible-light triggered binding and releasing between tetra-ortho-methoxy-substituted azobenzene (mAzo) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The drug releasing efficiency is calculated to be 56%. The high-efficiency visible-light-triggered drug delivery system may afford great potential for cancer therapy.
