Here in a simple route for the synthesis of porous ZnO nanorods (ZnO) has been demonstrated. ZnO expressed very high surface area of 305.14 m(2) g(-1) (S-BET) and uniformly distributed pores of 5 nm. In continuation ZnO has been fabricated with 3-aminophosphonic acid followed by folic acid to yield folate conjugated porous ZnO nanorod (ZnO-FA). High surface area, uniformly distributed pores on its surface make the nanocarrier suitable for high drug loading (88%) of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). A pH triggered drug release was observed with minimum release in pathophysical conditions. In vitro efficacy of DOX loaded ZnO-FA (ZnO-FA-DOX) has been evaluated against breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231, which is not possible alone by DOX or ZnO-FA. Targeted scaffold with pendant -NH2 group has been covalently bonded with fluorescent dye (RITC) for cellular uptake and imaging studies in MDA-MB-231 cells; the possible pathway for cancer regression has also been evaluated. Even in vivo acute and intravenous toxicological evaluation on murine model system complemented biocompatibility of ZnO-FA in TDD. All together we have collaged a template free synthesis of porous ZnO nanorod, successful targeting on to cancer cells, high drug loading, pH triggered drug release, in vitro efficacy of ZnO-FA-DOX against MDA-MB-231 cells and in vivo compatibility as well. We envisioned the future prospect of porous ZnO nanostructures in TDD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.67</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitra, Shouvik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chandra, Sourov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kundu, Tanay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banerjee, Rahul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pramanik, Panchanan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goswami, Arunava</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapid microwave synthesis of fluorescent hydrophobic carbon dots</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12129-12131</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Fluorescent hydrophobic carbon dots (HCDs) have been fabricated from a poloxamer by a simple microwave assisted process within a few minutes for the first time. Small and distinct spherical HCDs emitted bright blue and green fluorescent light depending upon the excitation wavelength and were dispersed easily in a wide variety of organic solvents. HCDs exhibited excellent water resistant behavior with a contact angle of similar to 122 degrees enforcing good hydrophobic character which will be quite useful in potential surface applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.562

Gd-pDBI exhibits high thermal stability, porosity, excellent water stability, along with organic-solvent and mild acid and base stability with retention of crystallinity. Gd-pDBI was transformed to the nanoscale regime (ca. 140nm) by mechanical grinding to yield MG-Gd-pDBI with excellent water dispersibility (&amp;gt;90min), maintaining its porosity and crystallinity. In vitro and in vivo studies on MG-Gd-pDBI revealed its low blood toxicity and highest drug loading (12wt%) of anticancer drug doxorubicin in MOFs reported to date with pH-responsive cancer-cell-specific drug release.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.35
