Copolymers of
2-(methacrylamido)glucopyranose (MAG) and methacrylic acid (MAA) are
synthesized by RAFT polymerization and then used as templates to prepare
glycopolymer-functionalized Ag nanoclusters (Gly-Ag NCs) through
microwave irradiation. Polymers and the resulting nanoclusters are
characterized by NMR, GPC, UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, AAS and fluorescence
spectroscopy. The bio-activity of the fluorescent Gly-Ag NCs are further
examined using GLUT-1 over-expressing cancer cells K562. Gly-Ag NCs
show efficient binding ability toward K562 cells and inhibit the cell
viability in a dose dependent manner (IC50 = 0.65 μg mL(-1) ),
indicating their potential biological applications for both cancer
imaging and targeted cancer therapy.
