Title:
COMPOSITION FOR TARGET-SPECIFIC PHOTOTHERMAL THERAPY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/148402
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for target-specific photothermal therapy and a method of photothermal therapy using the composition and, more particularly, to a method of photothermal therapy for selectively killing inflammatory cells by using the composition for target-specific photothermal therapy comprising carbon nanotubes coated with dextran. According to the present invention, the composition for photothermal therapy comprising the carbon nanotubes coated with dextran is absorbed only into desired target cells, i.e., inflammatory cells, and causes thermotherapeutic action through light irradiated from an external light source, while not damaging cells except for inflammatory cells. The method of photothermal therapy using the composition for photothermal therapy has advantages in minimizing side effects and maximizing therapeutic effects.
