Silk fibroin nanoparticles as biocompatible nanocarriers of a novel light-responsive CO-prodrug†
Abstract
[Mn(CO)3(2,2′-bipyridine)(PPh3)](ClO4) (1), a novel photoactive CO-releasing molecule, has been prepared and fully characterized. Besides, silk fibroin nanoparticles (SFNs) have been used, for the first time, as vehicles of 1 leading to the hybrid material 1@SFNs that shows an enhanced CO-delivery.
