Fluorescing Ternary Aggregates Containing a Carbocyanine Dye and Laurate Ion for Imaging-Guided Delivery of Hydrophilic Drugs to Tissues

Abstract

For the purpose of imaging hydrophilic drugs, aggregates of gentamicin and vinorelbine with carbocyanine dyes fluorescing in the near-infrared region of the spectrum and a laurate ion as a counterion are obtained. To isolate the aggregates, precipitation from an aqueous solution of components is used. The size of the aggregates with gentamicin range from 200 to 600 nm; with vinorelbine, from 400 to 1000 nm; the surface ζ potential varies in the range of –15…–5 mV. The aggregates are sorbed by the subcutaneous fatty tissue, muscle, bone, and endothelial tissues of chickens. In the future, the resulting aggregates can be used to visualize drug delivery to the tissues of living organisms.
