In recent years, fluorescence carbon dots (CD) have gained recognition due to the ability to incorporate drugs and excellent luminescence characteristic. However, further development such as functionalizing the CD structure or integrate it with an inorganic material is necessary to obtain a stimuli-responsive nanoparticle with desirable drug loading capacity. Here, we developed a drug delivery system based on a hybrid fluorescence carbon dots-inorganic nanomaterial which applied for stimuli-responsive bioimaging and nanocarrier. In the first study, we utilized the used of MnO2 as a quenching effect to increase the selectivity of biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid (HA) carbon dots to redox environment. For another study, we optimize the high pore volume of mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) by encapsulated zwitterion CD and photosensitizer to achieve a pH-responsive nanoparticle. Both systems displayed sensitivity toward cancer environment which showed a promising potential for tumor diagnosis and therapy.
