Abstract

The first naproxen–QD conjugates have been synthesised and investigated. These conjugates demonstrated interesting photophysical properties, good stability in an aggressive enzymatic medium, and cellular localisation in macrophage (THP-1) cells. These nanocomposites might have the potential to act as drug delivery and cellular imaging agents.
