Abstract

The objective of this study is to engineer a novel nanoparticlulate system for use in early tumor diagnosis. Indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded biodegradable nanoparticles were prepared by using biodegradable polymer, poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The ICG entrapment, nanoparticle size, shape, zeta potential the release of ICG from nanoparticles was determined. Also, the effect of ICG entrapment on fluorescence spectra of ICG was measured. The engineered nanoparticles were nearly spherical in shape and efficiently entrapped ICG. The release profile of the nanoparticles was exponential. The entrapment of ICG in nanoparticles caused reduction in its peak fluorescence intensity and shifted its wavelength of peak fluorescence to higher values.
