The first naproxen–QD conjugates have been synthesised and investigated. These conjugates demonstrated interesting photophysical properties, good stability in an aggressive enzymatic medium, and cellular localisation in macrophage (THP‐1) cells. These nanocomposites might have the potential to act as drug delivery and cellular imaging agents.
