Abstract
Supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) have emerged as anticancer agents. Tracking the movement of these metallic anticancer agents plays an important role in the field of biomedicines. Herein, we describe a method for tracking the movement of a rhomboidal Pt(II) metallacycle agent using the quantum dots encapsidation in vitro self-assembly system of viral proteins. When incubated with living Vero cells, self-assembly of hybrid viral nanoparticles were employed for simultaneous cell imaging and visual transmission of the Pt(II) metallacycle agent. Considering these results, we believe that the multifunctional biomaterials consisting of a supramolecular coordination complex and quantum dots provide a new alternative for probing of the delivery of Pt(II) metallacycle drugs.
