Application

5-Hydroxy-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol may be used in the synthesis of 5-(2′-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol. It may be used as difunctional photo-responsive initiator in the synthesis of thermo-responsive and photo-cleavable amphiphilic block copolymers containing photodegradable linkers as junction points between hydrophilic and hydrophobic chains.

In this study, we synthesized photocleavable amphiphilic block copolymers containing photodegradable linkers, 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol, as junction points between hydrophilic dextran (or maltodextrin) and hydrophobic poly(4-substituted-ɛ-caprolactone) chains, by using a combination of ring-opening polymerization and nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Herein, we present a phototriggered drug delivery system based on light responsive nanoparticles, which is able to release doxorubicin upon NIR light illumination. The proposed system is based on upconversion fluorescence nanoparticles of β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm@SiO2-PEG with a mean diameter of 52±2.5
