Phenanthriplatin( iv ) conjugated multifunctional up-converting nanoparticles for drug delivery and biomedical imaging

-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The in vivo experiments on mice also confirmed that the Phen-Pt(iv)-conjugated nanoparticles have a relatively high tumor inhibition rate. These results indicate that the multifunctional nanoparticles can be expected to be a platform for simultaneous imaging and cancer therapeutic applications.
