(A) Chemical structures of parent silicon naphthalocyanine, silicon 2,3 naphthalocyanine dihydroxide (SiNcOH 1) and substituted derivative, silicon 2,3 naphthalocyanine bis(trihexylsilyloxide) (SiNc 2). (B) Schematic illustration of the fabrication of SiNc-loaded theranostic nanoplatform: 1) encapsulation of SiNc molecules within the hydrophobic interior of amine terminated G5 PPI dendrimers (PPIG5); 2) dendrimer surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The inset represents a photo of SiNc-NP solution in water. Reproduced with permission from [83]. Copyright 2015 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
