Indocyanine green J-aggregate (IJA) is a promising photothermal (PTT) agent that has recently been utilised in preclinical studies for cancer diagnostics and treatment. The unique properties, such as the red-shift absorption band and longer wavelengths, are behind IJA's superior thermal stability compared to its monomeric ICG. Loading IJA into nanoparticles (NPs) has proven advantageous in enhancing its in vivo targeting of various cancer models. However, the loading of IJA into more complex lipids, such as lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), has not been reported. The present work focuses on investigations of the effect of formulation parameters on pre-formed IJA (p-IJA) stability and the formation of p-IJA-loaded LNCs and SLNs, thus enhancing their theranostic applications. We investigated the effect of the lipid shell of LNCs and the lipid core of SLN on p-IJA stability. Our findings demonstrated the significant role of lipophilic surfactants (Span 85) and a high-melting-point lipid core (sodium stearate) in enhancing the p-IJA ratio and heating capacity following loading into SLNs. More importantly, p-IJA-SLN enhanced the optical stability of p-IJA in a range of biological media, such as serum proteins, blood, and collagen. Furthermore, lyophilised p-IJA-SLNs were successfully obtained after long-term storage. Overall, p-IJA-loaded lipid NPs could provide a promising platform for various applications, including photoacoustic imaging, PTT, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and combination therapy with chemotherapeutics.
