Abstract

A new liposomal carrier embedded with a ratiometric fluorescent probe PNO is prepared. The integrated liposomes (PNO-LIPs) exhibit blue fluorescence in serum. Triggered by the thiols exogenously or endogenously, PNO-LIPs collapse with a burst drug release and a concurrent fluorescence change from blue to green. Furthermore, DOX-loaded PNO-LIPs improve the intracellular drug bioavailability.
