(a) Emission spectra of QD-Celecoxib conjugates (λ ex = 400 nm and λ em = 529 nm). Emission spectra showing concentration-dependent fluorescence increase (10 nM > 100 nM > 100 μM > 10 μM > 100 μM) of Celecoxib-conjugated QDs (50 μg/ml) over unconjugated QDs (50 μg/ml). (b) FT-IR spectra of QD-Celecoxib conjugates with shifting of peak from 1640 cm−1 (C=O) to 1540 cm−1 showing the occupancy of Celecoxib of QD-drug conjugates against unconjugated MPA-capped QDs. (c) 13C solid-state NMR of Celecoxib, MPA-capped QDs, and QD-Celecoxib conjugate. Spectra of QD-Celecoxib conjugate (bottom) showing more number of carbons in comparison to Celecoxib (centre) and QDs alone (top), which forms an indirect confirmation of conjugation between Celecoxib and QDs.
