Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the composite nanoprobe.
The invention also aims to provide the application of the composite nano probe in preparing a medicament for killing tumor cells.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:

The chlorins, phthalocyanines and ICG are all photodynamic reagents, and can effectively generate singlet oxygen to obtain photodynamic effect. Compared with Ce6, ICG molecule has lower light absorption efficiency and singlet oxygen yield, but has more excellent light penetration ability because its absorption peak is in near infrared optical window, and can match with near infrared absorption peak of gold nanorod.
The gold nanorods in the composite nano probe generate enhanced local electric fields at two ends of the gold nanorods due to the surface plasmon resonance effect. ICG is a photodynamic reagent and a photothermal reagent, ICG molecules loaded in mesoporous silica at two ends of the gold nanorod are just positioned in an optimal local electric field enhancement area, so that the ICG molecules are enhanced and stimulated by the local electric field to the maximum extent, the photothermal effect and the photodynamic effect of the ICG molecules are amplified simultaneously, and the enhanced photothermal effect, namely the photodynamic effect, is obtained.
Researches find that the surface plasma resonance effect of the gold nanorods can stimulate ICG molecules to generate a large amount of singlet oxygen. The heat effect of the ICG and the heat effect of the gold nanorods can be mutually superposed, and the photodynamic effect of the ICG can stimulate the further promotion of the action of the heat and the heat. The local surface plasma resonance band of the gold nanorod resonates with the ICG molecular absorption band, the absorption efficiency is greatly enhanced, a large amount of singlet oxygen can be continuously generated, the double-photothermal effect of the gold nanorod and the ICG molecular is combined, and the photothermal performance of the composite probe is further enhanced.

Taking the composite nanoprobe prepared in the embodiment 1 as an example, the morphology and performance test is carried out. The following test results in Au @ mSiO2ICG NDs were all the composite nanoprobes prepared in example 1.
As shown in fig. 1a, the composite nanoprobe has a good dumbbell shape, and has good uniformity and dispersibility. The length of the gold nanorod is about 70nm, the width of the gold nanorod is about 20nm, mesoporous silicon dioxide is coated at two ends of the gold nanorod, and ICG molecules are embedded in the mesopores.
FIG. 1b shows that coating mesoporous silica and loading ICG can cause red shift of the plasma absorption peak of gold nanorods, because the dielectric environment around the gold nanorods changes. The absorption peak of ICG molecules is equivalent to the plasma absorption peak of the composite nano probe, and under the radiation of external 800nm laser, the ICG molecules can participate in the surface plasma resonance effect of the gold nanorods, so that the enhancement of longitudinal surface plasma electric fields is further promoted. Because of the extremely strong plasma absorption capacity of the gold nanorods, ICG molecules can be prevented from photobleaching, and the light stability of the ICG molecules can be effectively improved.
FIG. 1c is a schematic diagram of the refractive index distribution of the substances around the gold nanorods, which reflects the structural shape of the distribution of the components of the dumbbell probe. According to the research on the refractive index of a plurality of organic macromolecules, the ICG molecular refractive index is assumed to be 1.7, and the optimal absorption peak position is close to 800nm by regulating and controlling the load of mesoporous to the ICG molecular. Fig. 1d and fig. 1e are an electric field distribution diagram and a charge distribution diagram of the nano dumbbell, and fig. 1f is a diagram formed by combining fig. 1c and fig. 1d, which show that under 800nm excitation light, a plasma electric field is mainly distributed in dumbbell balls at two ends of a gold nanorod, and can effectively stimulate ICG molecules in mesopores of the dumbbell balls to generate a large amount of singlet oxygen.
FIGS. 2a-d show the change of the absorption curve of the singlet oxygen detector DPBF in the composite nanoprobe solution with time under the excitation light radiation of 800 nm. In the medium, DPBF did not have any quenching effect, indicating that it does not produce singlet oxygen. The composite nano probe has an obvious quenching effect on DPBF, and the gold nanorod plasma electric field enhancement has a strong stimulation effect on ICG molecules in the mesopores of the dumbbell ball, so that the gold nanorod plasma electric field enhancement can promote the gold nanorod plasma electric field enhancement to continuously generate singlet oxygen. Meanwhile, ICG molecules cannot generate photobleaching under the protection of the gold nanorods and the mesoporous silica, and the ICG has good light stability.
FIG. 3 is a graph plotting the change of singlet oxygen with time at 800nm excitation for each species according to the strongest absorption peak of DPBF in FIGS. 2 a-d. The singlet oxygen yield of a single ICG molecule under 800nm laser is obviously lower than that of a gold nanorod-stimulated and mesoporous-protected ICG molecule.
Fig. 4 and 5 are graphs of temperature rise curves and temperature distribution images of the composite nanoprobe solution under near-infrared excitation light, and it can be seen that the composite nanoprobe exhibits more excellent photothermal effects than ICG molecules and gold nanorods, because the heat generation thereof is due to contributions from both ICG molecules and gold nanorods. The above proves that the dumbbell composite probe shows stronger photo-thermal effect and photodynamic effect no matter the single ICG molecule or the mesoporous silicon-coated gold nanorod.
FIGS. 6a-d are confocal images showing dead and live cells using two stains. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells were incubated with the sample for 2 hours, irradiated with laser at 800nm for six minutes, co-stained with Calcein-AM and PI and imaged. Calcein-AM stained live cells emit green light while PI stained dead cells emit red light. The graph shows that under the action of laser and a medium, the cancer cells are all living cells, the cancer cells are partially dead under the action of the laser and ICG molecules (figure 6b), the death rate of the cancer cells is further increased under the action of the laser and gold nanorods (figure 6c), and the cancer cells are almost dead under the action of the laser and the composite nano-probe (figure 6 d). The results prove that the photo-thermal and photo-dynamic combined mode based on the composite nano probe can kill cancer cells more effectively under lower exciting light power.
